Post match thread - City v Chelsea

[beast]

Crossed my mind about an hour after the final whistle when this thread had only hit 20 pages or so, if we'd lost it would have been 60+ at that point. Miserable cunts.

I'm confused because I'm a happy clapper, can I come in this thread please?

Brilliant today.
I thought it was really loud in the south stand.
On the pitch absolutely brilliant attacking football not like them how boring must it be to watch that every week constant diving and play acting.
Every player was brilliant.
Kolorov has carried on from the end of last season looking really good.
Vinny back to bullying centre forwards and back to his best.
Mangala looking like the player we thought he would be.
Sanga much better zab will have to wait a while to get in.
Dino was superb in front of the back four.
Naval and Stirling work the fullbacks well but really covered back well.
Yaya a bit like vinny back to bullying players and just been brilliant.
And kun and silva there are no words really

Good call. That one went completely over my head.
Must say, that performance today is probably one of the best I've ever seen from a city team and I've been going since 72.

Old sod, I didn't start till 74, not sure about best performance, best statement right up there :)

They almost went wide too, so we were lucky it wasn't a windy day or who knows what might have nearly happened.

Good god. It was a fun little observation, that's it. Yes 100's of things could have been fucking different, but I am talking about those two instances.

 

[This and only this]

On a side note, I think today showed why Nasri is surplus to requirements. Look at the fluid speed we play with when he isn't in there. The days of slow and patient seem to be gone.

I noticed this as well. I think this is the year we convert him to the role of impact sub. To his credit he doesn't cut the figure of a discontented player in that regard either so it could work out well for us and him for this season.

So glad we stuffed the fuckers. Mourinho once again proves how much of a bellend he is with his after match interview, makes the victory taste even sweeter.

Me too, but I thought id give them plenty of time to get home and log on and be positive for a change, like Yaya or Dunnie or my old girl kas.

That they come on here

It's just that Jose was talking so much shite in the post-match he was well upto to standard for a few posts on BM? (Joke!)

so, just to prove that Monday wasn't a fluke, we battered Chelsea by the same score line ( it could've been a lot more)
Maureen was outplayed at his own game, Pelegríni had singled out Costa as a possible weak link, Vinny and Fernandinho' duly abliged, trying to wind him up to snapping point.
I had my doubts about Sagna, but he seems to have upped his game, and Kolarov just keeps getting better and better.
Still, better not get too carried away, what with the pundits only tipping is for 5th....

Fantastic performance from Hart to Agüero today, despite what the eye-gouger claimed. Better team second half? Who are you trying to kid, Maureen?Every one of the 14 who graced the Etihad pitch this afternoon played their part in a wonderful display and excellent result.

I thought Yaya was MotM, but the back four were all colossuses today, though I'm sure we'll still hear criticism of Eliaquim Mangala and Aleksandar Kolarov.

However, after Begović made those great saves in the first half, I was beginning to think it was going to be one of those days.

But, we showed great passing and movement for the first goal and then never looked back.

With these first two results, we have put down a marker for the season and other teams had better be aware.
