[Gone for a Burton]

I don’t think we will win the CL either without a couple of signings. We really need at least 2 players to come in, maybe 3 Ake/Stones are just too injury prone, Walker is looking ropey and we need a holding mid.

Whether we can get the right quality in Jan remains to be seen.

.....and they then need to settle in quickly .

much better but not convincing at all...

lots of mistakes, and shakey defensively at times.

Grealish adds control in the middle but doesnt have a clue what to do with it once he gets near the edge of the opponents box
Gundo was our worst player - giving the ball away numerous times.

Doku was our main danger man going forward and as always Bernardo worked so hard - needs a rest.

KDB - still think he is struggling - if given time and space he can hurt anyt team - but when pressed he is very close to giving possession away and did do at times.

Palace away will tell us a lot more about where we are as a team with some of these players coming back

...but Akanji & Ake now injured !!

To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Manchester City’s demise are greatly exaggerated.

Considering the recent run of results and the fact that Forest were just behind us in the table, I thought we were very good.

We attacked from the start, and more or less controlled the game. The early goal was important. It was a bit scruffy, but who gives a fuck? Kdb’s and Doku's were excellent strikes.

I’m not going to proclaim that we’re back to our best, but the signs were very encouraging.

Outstanding team performance.
Every player put a shift in.

Yep. Much better - but you can tell the players are still frail from the injuries that they are having to play with. No other team could have done what we’ve done with so many injuries to first team players. Akanje & Ake clearly needed more recovery time but we had no cover with Stones being injured.

A good start on our road to recovery

So that's what a clean sheet is.

Good to get back to winning ways.

Clean sheet, three points, KDB's back, and just 24 pages of discussion.

Pep Out!

PS. I think Gvardiol's and Walker's defending still make me nervous.

UTFB!

There are still vulnerabilities there but that was a lot better. I think Kev made the difference

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Dippers will be very quietly worried. They may not say it out loud, but they’ve seen City claw back gaps like this in much shorter time

In one month there will hopefully be reinforcements - you never know…

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

“Can’t see Liverpool dropping points. Doku has no end product. Kev’s legs have gone. Pep doesn’t trust Jack to play him inside.”

Have I missed any of the classics?

Well done you beautiful blue boys! We showed up as a team.

Hoping that’s the beginning of our twenty game (at least) unbeaten run.

Nah, Pep's a Bluemoon avid reader and he's learning from our sapient lot.

[Damocles]

We're going to murder Palace
