It's been said by many others already but probably the only time I can enjoy a man city win is this. Something really satisfying watching Man United get humped for some reason. City having De Bruyne and Haaland just seems unfair. Such a lethal combo.

Howe will likely look to rest Bruno and Wilson at some stage I imagine.

I think Bruno will be in that deeper "6" role and Longstaff will likely be in the Joelinton role, altho alot less impactful one would think.

Yeah having watched him more closely this season after our interest this summer, I really want us to go back in for him now. May be tricky though as they aren't in desperate need for cash anymore presumably and may still be at the wrong end of the table and will want to hang on to their best players.

Also annoyed Everton were able to pick up Gueye. Think he's decent and he would have slotted it well for us as a DM.

Has struggled so far. Think he's lost the ball quite a few times in Longstaff style dwelling.

God I have not missed seeing keys and Gray on our screens every week ?

Clearly not using Isak to his strengths. Would even be tempted to bring wood in and let Isak go left in place of Fraser. We need more creative and the bench is bleak.

Just need the first 11 to do the business and then no need to worry about the bench today with another break after to allow our injury situation to hopefully improve.

Yeah won't be doing that again now it will be in his mind ?

I want Lee Mason to have to explain in a statement, why he made the decision he did and why he didn't give the onfield ref the benefit of all the same angles that he had access to. Don't just give us a generic apology, explain your actions and why you took them.

Thought that penalty for Toney looked soft aswell. Seems almost every game has had some shockers today.

I mean this literally shows the goal keeper wasn't getting to the ball and willock would have got his head to it first but got fouled and shoved into keeper. How this angle wasn't given to the onfield ref is an absolute farce.

So they saying then that's it ok for us to push opponents into our own keeper? No need to defend corners anymore just shove a player into Pope and get a freekick, rinse and repeat. Joke of a decision.

Looks an excellent prospect.

This. Absolutely fuming about this. Knew as soon as they ruled it out it was gonna cost us the 3 points. I can't understand what justification you can possible have to rule it out other than being a corrupt scum. The fact that we all saw the reverse angle at home but the referee only gets shown the worst possible angle just proved the corruption. Absolute shocker of a decision.

Hope Longstaff doesn't get a 2nd yellow. Treads water when chasing after some of these palace midfielders.

Mctominay

I mean, Leicester look really shite however. But that Malacia looks an improvement on Shaw, obviously benching Maguire is a massive help and they got Casimiro to replace Mctominay and Antony in for Elanga still to come.

Yeah they seem to be playing now how the manager wants. Annoying, but they were never going to be as bad as that Brentford game every week.

I can't really take seriously anyone saying 6.5/10. I get there's still gaps in the squad. However we have just smashed our transfer record to sign Isak and he looks like he's going to be class. Not forgetting the solid business on Pope, Botman and Target. I know it's only natural to want more but maybe there are factors to why we couldn't get the players we wanted this summer for a variety of different reasons.

Yeah he's not Henry quick but very few in history were. But he glides across the pitch in a similar fashion. Seems like he will play on the shoulder really well. Plus he has that close control technique which is a deadly combo with a bit of pace. Can't wait for the first game we get to unleash our full strength 11.

Yeah was shocking. Up against Milner and Firmino with fresh legs. Just run, you have pace. But no, he's the least confident player I've ever seen.

Liking Almirons performance so far. Everyone has been class. Whatever happened 2nd half that was a really strong first half without 5 first teamers missing.
