Really impressive again last night.
Starting to look / feel like it should.
The title is out of reach imo but the CL isn't and should be the goal now.
That counter will take absolutely anyone to the cleaners.
Defensively we're nowhere near the required level but if we employ a 'we'll just outscore you' approach who knows......

Caballero- 7
Sagna- 7
Otamendi- 8
Stones- 8
Kolarov- 7
Touré- 8
Silva- 9
De Bruyne- 8
Sané- 9
Jesus- 9
Sterling- 9
Delph- 7
Dinho- 7
Aguero- 7
Simply magnificent front three. It's not a case of getting them ready, they're ready now. If this was the club's plan all along then they're fucking geniuses. With Ronaldo and Messi getting older, and Benzema's form dropping, we could soon have the best attacking line in world football. All it needs is for the club to take the plunge. In my opinion we don't split those three up. We wait until one of them has a few off games and then we give Aguero a chance to win his place back. Let's see how many they can score. Based on today we got a bargain buying that front 3 for only £110m.

Can someone point out to me the difference between Jesus getting booked for asking for a yellow card whilst for nearly 90 mins, West Ham players surrounded the ref at every single opportunity asking for a City player to be booked and even sent off yet nothing from the ref?
Anyone?
I certainly cannot. During the match, replying to a member's post asking for the ref to warn the kid (being "new in the Prem"), I wrote that his action was intentional. Warning him would be a decent thing to do, but we haven't witnessed much decency this season, have we? Friend found the perfect opportunity to book Gabriel, didn't want to miss it. That's how I see it. His respective policy towards opposition? Double standards, as simple as that...
I have one for you myself. Like a lot of people in here, I am worried about the lack of protection our players get out there (personally I'm still waiting for the medical report regarding last night; are we sure everybody is actually OK?). I mean it's becoming fucking difficult to fucking enjoy our games, even if we are really good. You don't know how the guy is going to behave in the following play. Will he send Jesus or ... Kevin (seriously, I'm laughing writting his name) off with a second yellow? Will Sterling or Silva get flying in the air, end up in hospital?
Still, against a pretty physical opposition, the final outcome is that City received EQUAL amount of yellow cards: 3 each! How can this be fucking possible? Anyone? Are we that physical? Were we equally physical last night? If that's the case, Guardiola is lying throughout the season, insisting City lack physicality (height, strength, pace etc)...
By the way, he didn't seem a happy man last night, did he? You would expect him to be following such a performance, but I felt something in his mood was wrong. I don't think he enjoys this anymore, I don't think he can explain it. Explain what, really? It's a fucking disgrace, that's what it is. And practically it's going on, like week in week out, throughout the season. At the same time, direct rivals are experiencing a completely different reality in terms of ref decision making, aren't they? Has anybody watched how Chelsea beat Hull at home by the way? Quite of an experience, wasn't it? And you have that scum Mourinio actually complaining about the ref tolerating Silva's ... time wasting methods (excuse me?) following United's 0-0 vs Hull at the O.T. Insulting the journalist, walking away from the interview. An acting performance deserving an Oscar. But who knows, he might get a decision favouring his team next game so it's worth a try, right? I would be ashamed to support such a "policy"...
The PL is becoming surreal by the day...

I agree that there should have been a ton of bookings for harassment. It is the actual act of waving an imaginary yellow card that is now a straight bookable offence.
Stupid, but there it is.
On the plus side - Jesus now knows not to be provoked by the kind of 'defending' he's going to face.
Looks like a tough lad to me. He can handle it.

How this should receive a bigger sanction that the wholesale fucking time wasting perpetrated by goalies that turn up with a creditable 0-0 before kick off I do not know. And the FArce and PiGMOL would be hard-pressed to explain.
I suspect the FArce will charge the club with not informing Gabriel that he shouldn't wave his arm about as though he were Wayne Rooney.
Well good :)Go on I'll have a nibble.
Yaya was brilliant tonight, as he has been since his return to the team despite his obvious physical limitations. His current work rate just proves I was right the last 2-3 seasons in calling him a lazy ****, all I as every City fan asks is for players to give their all.
I have often watched games where quality attacking players have been kicked a couple of times and then spend the rest of the game hiding. We've had a few. Elano being an obvious example.
Our front three were kicked all over the pitch throughout the game but they carried on playing with the same enthusiasm. Very encouraging.
Very encouraging indeed, I loved their attitude. But it's also very dangerous if they keep on lacking protection. That's the problem...

Good lad, Darren. His child goes to the same school as my little un.
if you see him thank him for not trotting out the usual lies and half truth nonsense
