West Brom (A) | Post-Match Thread

Having just watched the replay after avoiding social media & the scores for 5 hours which in 2020 is a effort was a great performance and good to put away a side like West Brom ruthlessly and how we should, especially after the home game with them.

Gundogan deserves a special mention for his season so far, he's arguably our player of the year behind Dias, and Cancelo has come a long way this season now he's adapted to our system and the Premier League.

Another win, another clean sheet and great to see so many players hitting form now.

Half way through the season and top and all possibilities ahead of us for the run home. Couldn't be better placed.

I’m struggling to remember the last City signing, (probably Aguero) to make such an immediate impact as Dias, but it's equally amazing how the previously anonymous Rodri, Cancelo and Gundogen, have all suddenly become so influential. It feels so fresh, and once more I find myself wondering if Guardiola was deliberately holding something back last Autumn when the team looked slow and pedestrian. Perhaps we went down a scientific route of fitness, but Gundogen in particular, suddenly looks a yard quicker.

My only concern (not so much last night, but moving forward) is Zinchenko’s lack of mobility when the opposition have the ball.

The 2nd goal was an absolute farce, but I’d love to the see a replay of the Aguero goal at Old Trafford last season, which was eventually disallowed, despite the lineman flagging too soon, and Aguero looking onside.

I tend to think you are right with Pep holding us back in a way. He knew we wouldn't be hitting any semblance of form until late November with no pre season etc so he decided to make us hard to beat (besides the Leicester game which is a anamoly) and keep us within touching distance until our fitness and form came back.

Long way to go yet but we are better placed then anyone at this moment.
 
After his save on the first minute this is how Ederson felt for the rest of the game

Torres not yet settled in, just the same as Rodri and Cancelo before him. Dias is just a bloody freak.

Yes, it takes time to settle in to a new team, league, country. Comfortable players now showing their class.
And Dias is OUR freak. What a signing.
 
very good first half, ripped them a new one, really destructive and pacey stuff.

3 seasons ago i would have had sympathy for the flag thing, but then a ref wouldnt have played on 3 seasons ago - that time has gone, the instructions are stressed even more (than usual) to play to the whistle as VAR has created this strange review system we now have. No sympathy.

everyone played well, Foden had one of his quieter nights and Mahrez was a little wasteful when he drifted in the middle, certainly not his position. Great game

Oh what a night,
Watching City every other night,
We beat [insert latest victims] cos they're fucking shite,
watching City, what a night
