That’s one exceptional example because there was no other date available for the League Cup tie.

Give me another.

Pretty sure we play every weekend and midweek starting on New Year’s Day in January. Checked and we play January 1, 4 , 7, 10, 13, 17, 20, 24 and 28.

This is about the long term , not the short term ..... Villa have probably got a top class player for the next ten years there !

A player we had ....

Where would Rogers play for us? How would he fit in? He has less goals and assists than Phil has and he does not knit the play together like Phil does.
Rogers is a top class no 10 and looks dynamic with his pace and power. But, he is not what we need. Phil is a far better fit and has more to his game.

 

[Cellarite]

Phil made the grade here because he progressed through the clubs ranks, and was nurtured properly and encouraged by City ..... if we'd shipped him off on loan to Barnet, Sheffield Wednesday, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Austria Vienna we might never have heard of him again!

How many times does it need pointing out to you that Roger’s himself said he wasn’t up to it at City?

When we could’ve been giving him and Cole Palmer more game time, we were winning the treble and 4 in a row. Would you have preferred to sacrifice those achievements just in case young players became top class?

Haha. Neville just introduced Jack Fletcher (who has just come on as a substitute) saying there’s been a lot of talk about United’s academy lately
HE CAME FROM OUR ACADEMY

One of their other subs, Bendito Mandato, started in our academy also but don’t tell the “experts “.

60 maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's mid 60s.

Liverpool are 5th with 29 points after 17 games.

If they carry on with that ratio they will finish with 64 points.

Chelsea the same.

Pts for 5th place historically.

24/25 - 66
23/24 - 66
22/23 - 67
21/22 - 69
20/21 - 66
19/20 - 62
18/19 - 70
17/18 - 70
16/17 - 75
15/16 - 66
14/15 - 64
13/14 - 72
12/13 - 72
11/12 - 65

The last time a team finished with less than 61 pts for 5th was 2006.

Have they turned another corner?

2 wins in 8 with one against Wolves says they have!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Merry Christmas, Agent Rogers.

 

[Blue Hefner]

City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and probably Villa will finish above them. I also expect Newcastle to get thier arse in gear as well

In all likelihood they will finish between 7th and 12th

Highly unlikely they get the CL spot

 

[dickie davies]

They are still better than everyone below them though.

The league is so inconsistent that you will probably only need high 50/ low 60 points to get CL football this year (top 5)

That would really be quite remarkable as in the last five seasons the lowest points total for a fifth placed team was 63 points

Hopefully Newcastle give them a good hiding next up!

He's chatting absolute nonsense.
Entitled idiots are always moaning when "insert ex. City player" has a good game.
We've had unprecedented success but, some people are never happy.

 

[ReutlingerBlick]

Aston Villa right up our arses now, and playing well ...... I can't believe we had that Morgan Rogers on our books for over three years, and didn't give him a proper chance ..... all we did was loan him to three clubs , and then fkn sold him !

Lookin at his age, the form he's in now, and the goals he's scoring, that has to go down as yet another major clanger dropped by City.

"yet another major clanger dropped by City" Really! I am assuming you are a young person, did you watch the Clangers the 1st time around? Palmer at Chelsea, is that a Clanger (no) Ok Rogers is on a hot streak, but with kids you can't foretell the future.

Comments such as this really upset me, because I supported Man City through 40 years of zip, did you?

The comment: 'yet another major clanger' applies to that other lot across Manchester... McTominey/Garnacho and probably Mainoo in Jan, not us.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Got to laugh at the media narrative about the Rags improving. Two wins from eight games, one of those wins was against bottom placed Wolves.

Even if they only get 12th it's an improvement on last season :-)

How much did they spend again ?

That still only two games/week.

I’m fed up of explaining it to him
