Wonderful first half spectacle.

Ive already stated i called it very wrong,i genuinely saw us struggling without the two powerhouses.....but that isn't a problem for me,the forum is for discussion and opinions,be them right or epically poor!

Individually there were half a dozen who were very special,the MOTM obviously Haaland and/or Foden,but Bernie and Akanji were superb.The latter has almost cemented a starting berth for me,he just has everything.

The subs killed the fixture a bit,but great to get minutes in those legs and protect our stars.

A great weekend all in all.

First half, wow, fantastic performance. Could, and perhaps should, have been 7 or 8 in front. We sat back a little at the start of the second half, allowed them back into it and I was disappointed to concede the first goal. The second and third were just daft and sloppy. It gives the score a more respectable appearance for them. Everyone knows though, we battered them.

Some sloppy play gave them a couple of undeserved goals but so fucking what.

City were unbelievable today. 4 up at half time, 2 different players getting hat tricks and finally seeing just how good Jack Grealish can actually be. I felt it was his best game so far in a blue shirt.

You could argue that our best centre back partnership wasn't available. Rodri wasn't available and Kyle went off before half time injured. Yet still, we completely embarrassed those clowns who were backed into 11/2 from 8/1 so many a fool has parted with their money.

Great to be blue.

The dippers will not compete with us and if we play like that against them Virgil will need more than his inhaler to keep it down to five or six and TAA will see things no one else sees when he gets his head stuck up his own arse. They are miles behind us and Arsenal are more of a danger in my eyes

Just on 3 days before we get to see Erling play again excellent !!!

Or maybe, not ??

Last 5 minutes especially sloppy, it's annoying me at the moment but I will see sense later..

I'd have taken a 4-3 at half time, it's all about the win against the vermin

Once a Blue...

This Leeds + Villa game would send an insomniac to sleep.

Or maybe, not ??

No way does he not start against Copenhagen absolutely no way .

 

[blue whippet]

Foden, Grealish, Haaland and KDB all brilliant. Bernardo great. I really like the centre back pairing of Ake, and Akanji, they complement each other very well.

Akanji like Vinnie reincarnated. What a player. Ake too.

We've got 5 brilliant central halves

Thought the exact same thing about Akanji...moves with the ball at his feet very much like Vinnie
