If Joelinton is out we should go Anderson - Bruno - Tonali. Unchanged team otherwise.

Looked like he popped his shoulder in the first duel against Haaland. Wouldn't be surprised if it did despite him seeing out the entire game At least he managed a full 90 without a head injury this time.

Longstaff recently-ish back from injury, Willock coming back from injury, Anderson deserving more playtime, Miley eager to pounce at the chance of an opportunity. We have a squad now. Would be good to get to use it. Not concerned about yellows at all tbh. More worried about long term injuries.

Maybe so. Don't fully agree that Miggy was poor besides his decision making in one or two situations, but it's better ways to put it than the way some on here did tonight. If you're that bad at controlling your emotions during a game maybe you should stay off the internet until a certain amout of time after the game has passed. All of those players are a big reason why we are in the position we are in today and deserve nothing but respect from the fans.

People slagging off Almiron, Burn and Longstaff calling them fucking shite, useless etc etc can go fuck themselves btw.

No shame in that. We could have done better in some situations that potentially could have resulted in a draw but not really unhappy about this all in all. Not the most exciting game though. Game against Liverpool will be more open imo.

1-0 or 2-0 doesn't matter. Just go all in and go for it please.

Feel like he's not really a sub type of player. His main strength is his work rate, but that's the same whether it's the 5th minute of the game or the 95th.

Tino coming on!

Do we have a sub left? Wouldn't mind Livramento on for Burn and go for broke.

Can we please stop hyper focussing on Almiron? We're only 1 goal behind. We're the better team at the moment.

Has any team ever tried to put someone on who is stronger, faster and has better stamina than Rodri and just try to man mark him out of the game completely? Wouldn't necessarily have to be a footballer. Just a body that could stay on him all the time both in and out of possession.

Well done by Almiron.

How is that a yellow? Walker pulls Barnes into him so he trips.

Looks like Joelinton was carrying an injury after all.

Feel kind of bad for him. Takes some effort for that frame to go on those lunging runs Would like to see what would happen if Gordon played him through at least once instead of trying to take on his man.

No Man City player even bothering to follow Burn as he runs in behind They know just as well as us that nee cunt on our team was going to pass the ball to him there.

Let's make an effort to run Man City to the ground this second half. Result or not, at least let them go away feeling buised and battared and dreading to meet us again later this season.

Joelinton carrying an injury? Got no better explenation to his performance this half

Done it twice now. Think we'll have a chance at getting something if we can get to half time with 1-0. Howe to work some magic and come out second half with a better plan.

Obviously difficult conditions to play against probably the best team in the world, but still feel like Joelinton & Isak in particular could have done more so far. Been quite sloppy both of them.

They just seem to have two extra players on the field Always someone available to snap up the second ball or someone to pass to. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but we've stopped pressing them high after failing to win the ball first half of the half, and have been inviting Man City to set camp outside our box second half of the half. A bit surprising as I was expecting us to get a lot more aggressive than we have been.

Christ the thought of pissing on Man Citys celebration today
