That was a slog, I know the players are tired and pep has to rotate but we just didn't seem interested, anyways we roll on
29 shots to 1 (9/1 on target), 73/27 possession, 678 passes to 256 for Plymouth, 20 corners to 1, Ortega didn't have to make one save.Obviously mid game not winning for 75 minutes will make fans frustrated, but i thought it was an absolute demolition job.
You sound happy.Really poor which is on pep with the starting 11, we’ve no mid-week game should’ve gone strongest 11 & smashed them 1st hlf then rested players, delighted for o’Riley looks a player, but in his natural position
Another happy soul.Not good. Expected it to be a flat game when I saw De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Bernardo all starting together, but Foden, Grealish, and McAtee didn't do anywhere near enough.
Worst team in the Championship at home and we had to wait for them to get tired before we even started to look like playing in second gear - and that was after sending Haaland on as well.
Can't afford to play any other weak XI in this competition if we want to win it, even if we draw Preston at home next. Anything can happen and it very nearly did today.
Anyone who thinks we need to keep De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Bernardo for "leadership" next season needs to watch that again. What good is leadership when you can barely move against League One level players.
Time for Khusanov, Reis, O'Reilly, Doku, Savinho, Marmoush, and Gonzalez to get proper runs in this team. Hopefully they can secure a fond farewell for De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Bernardo.
Must be nice to have hair to cut.Nothing wrong with a Sesame Street cut!

I read that Nico doesn't feel he is ready for central midfield.Really poor which is on pep with the starting 11, we’ve no mid-week game should’ve gone strongest 11 & smashed them 1st hlf then rested players, delighted for o’Riley looks a player, but in his natural position
ITV saying that they give us an almighty scare. 1 shot in 90 minutes and it should have been 7 or 8 at least.28 shots to 1, hit the post, penalty denied, chance after chance somehow cleared away. Should have been ten (OK at least 7.) Jack Grealish fantastic.
Come on City!

There was too much panic on the matchday thread as usual but this was domination and a good game for us.
