Because we sold our left back.

Stones at RB, again. Why? Vs Pedro Neto no less.

How on Earth is Phillips crocked again? He played 2 mins. We should have just kept Lavia.

The same Lavia who was out injured last night? ;-)

Grealish is a Villa fan, he will be desperate to perform against Wolves.

The Boys in Blue never give in they fight to the end. Come on City, Come on City. Show 'em lads, show 'em all. Especially them Midlanders who think they are superior. We are the best team in the land and all the world.





YYeeaahh, John Boy is playing from the start.

shhhh :-)

Sigh, what’s the point of signing Alvarez and Gomez when they get zero game time?

sigh.....

Communication on the pitch is key too, so speaking the lingo definitely helps, notice Akanji speaks better English than me!

Hadn’t considered that. His father is Nigerian and mother Swiss, so the lingua franca at home might well have been English. Looking forward to seeing how he copes today, as the increase in pace and intensity from European games tends to be an eye (and lung) opener.

3.0 city. Grealish first goal scorer

We all know he has talent but imo he needs to try things reinvent himself somewhat.

 

[Claytop]

Hate early game on Saturday, potential for weekend to be ruined before it’s began

Hope alti keeps control , we have had games with him get out of control and we get booked or sent off , wonder if he does it on purpose

Pep must be seeing stuff in training that we (by definition) are not seeing. Fair enough. I'm not myself all that convinced any more. At least, not over on the left. Just as well I don't pick the team, eh?

Pep is giving Grealish games to play his way into form. He does it with players all the time.
