[Matt the Giant]

Our defense is looking like the best I have ever seen, anywhere. We won't concede much this season.

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

Kovacic does look gundo-esque, just no where near as good … yet.

The probing snd short passing is there, im looking forward to doing it higher up the pitch, like gundo did

Just realised how good Gundogan was. Maybe a bit under rated? He kept midfield ticking over, like Kovacic today, but scored great goals too.

 

[Asa's left peg]

The news of our passing is greatly exaggerated.

You feckers are going to have to earn it the season, if you want our crowns.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

I know its a 'Titanic' comment given the circumstances but Rodders looked gassed at the end. Cant be having him burn out too early. Hope the board can pull a rabbit out of the hat and sign a baller to help him out.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Phil Foden is overrated. Haha. Coming of age tonight for Phil

 

[Debaser]

Must get to arsenal in the league now without dropping points

 

[Gesario]

Pretty Chipper …thought we might draw this one

A truely professional comprehensive win Well done City Landed in Skiathos this afternoon an managed to get out an see it Actually sat with some very amiable geordies for the first half Tony an your lad hope you do well an what we don’t win hope you win it

Outstanding performance by this wonderful team. Quality oozing from each player.
Foden had his best game for ages and provided evidence of his ability to control a match from a central position. Was Southgate in attendance to witness this fact?
Special mentions for Kova, Rodri and Walker. Some of the short sharp passing between our players was sublime. How lucky are we as fans to be able to watch them?

Gvardiol looks like a class act too for a player who's only just joined us.

 

[Double R]

And relax. What a performance, Foden outstanding, but what a signing Kovatic is proving to be, bags of experience and perfect alongside Rodri.

 

[deano ou812]

This team is fucking the dogs dangly bits don’t underestimate how good a performance that was we kept them at arms length..

 

[Crooked_rain]

Not bad at all. Pretty solid all around job.

Great game by Foden and Julian.

We gotta slap the clowns giving Pep an earful thinking they know better than Pep!

BTW Pep is sending a clear message:

The team is fricking exhausted and he still does not trust Kalvin Philips. If he's not getting time now, what is his role?

Yeah it's a shame he can't really trust Phillips because I thought Rodri could have done with being taken off for the last 20 minutes

I thought he started getting uncharacteristically quite sloppy with his play, which you can only put down to fatigue.

Calm down. :) 10 times better than mid week, but a long way to go yet. :P

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I was one of the concerned Citizens pre-match, credit where it's due we got the job done.
Quite liked the performance to be honest - gotta score to beat us and that looked unlikely again this evening.

 

[Bill Walker]

Phil Foden is overrated. Haha. Coming of age tonight for Phil

Number of times I read "Foden isn't the answer in midfield" last week. Hope you're all eating humble pie, a fucking massive slice of it. :)

 

[wattle]

Watching from sunny Italy. Perfect day. Phil outstanding. Season shaping performance by him. Kovatic an unbelievably good signing and Gvardiol was superb 2nd half. Some of his No look passes into midfield when under pressure were brilliant and will be a great weapon for us going forward. Rodri and Haaland looked knackered at the end. I love a small squad but we defo need at the very least one in to ease the pressure. No one under performed which is a great sign after the tough week we’ve had. Oh yeh, the ref was a disgrace - but he always is against us whether on the pitch or on VAR

 

[Mick_]

It was men against boys and only one team wanted to win that.

I can never understand comments like this. We're the ones everybody has to outscore in terms of collecting points. Where we are when we get to Arsenal doesn't mean a thing, it's where we are after match 38.

 

[Eccles Blue]

What’s the illustrations on Pep’s tee shirt. I missed the beginning of his interview.

 

[Father Paul]

Thoroughly enjoyable. Foden brilliant in central role and very impressed with Kovacic too.

Rodri excellent as usual until final 10 minutes when you could see he was completely knackered. He seems to run that defensive midfield role all game, every game with no respite. It's disappointing that Calvin Phillips can't be be reliable as a sub to help him out.

Calvin must be sold and replaced immediately. Sorry to have to say it I don't like knocking our players but it is a waste of a shirt. Rodri is going to get a serious injury if he is to be run into the ground again this season.

 

[Bill Walker]

Our defence looks tighter than a constipated ducks arse.......Ace recruitment from City.
