I would imagine the club will find a way to keep him integrated in the squad, Ashley would have washed his hands and forgot about him but now it's a different story.

Whether they do ban him from training or not, they 100% will make sure he's training, getting 1-on-1 coaching and building his fitness up behind closed doors somewhere.

Watching us in the last few weeks, we've been scary good, we'll have way too much for BVB at home. Comfortable win.

Fwiw the double chance (BVB or draw) is evens on William Hill, bookies don't rate their chances at all.

In the same disdain as their players do by the looks of it

So much gold in that "The Sack Attack", "Not suitable for under 30 years", "tragic games"

So slow and predictable

FWIW has the same amount of Champions League goals now as Grealish

We were good for it last season but we can't discount the underperformance of Spurs, Liverpool and for a while Man Utd, add to that Villa and Brighton both on the up and I think this season top 4 looks a lot tougher, even with personal progress. Some kind of European competition is probably necessary at this point to attract the players we need to progress further, but it's important to remember we're only 2 years into a long game project and we don't have the quality in depth the usual suspect have. There will be disappointing periods of the season but instead of turning on Howe and the team I hope we look further ahead at the actual target and don't act spoiled because of what we've already tasted.

If it helps, Liverpool had a golden chance to make it 3-1 away at Brighton and drew 2-2 after going a goal behind and making it 2-1 only wasn't quite as late in the game.

Only team in the PL not to have conceded from a set piece this season btw

This would be the first time City have lost back to back league games since 2018

Whereas we should only have Barnes missing. Can't wait to see Willock back in the fray, we've missed him badly.

Current status

Get out of my head

2 week wait for this massive anticlimax Hopefully with a strong, well rested team we can put this one to bed early.

I do usually but there's a chance this one gives us pretty much a full team and a well deserved rest for our tired players.

I'd have snapped your hand off for a point at half time, feel gutted we dropped 2 at the end of the game.

I didn't even notice ?‍♂️

Good goal tbf

Oh feck offfff

Antonio said in their podcast if he scores he's going to do the Magpie (chicken) dance and if Wilson scores he has to do the Carlton dance

Charlton dance incoming

Wilson to end it

Can we get our foot back on the ball please? Don't like this pressure.
