Foster Cech Krul Schwarzer De Gea Fabianski Hart Howard Lloris Pope Would be my stab at it.

Everton can't rely on Calvert-Lewin long term, the bloke is made of biscuits.

I hope Villa are getting a discount on all these constant t-shirt orders they're putting in with injured players names on.

Hope we absolutely wipe the floor with these. Let's show them what it's actually like to be a victim.

Worked hard, got shown up for having little quality. He'll have better games than that against worst opposition but tonight even the basics were poor with the ball.

Frustrating as always at the Etihad but in a different way to years gone by. Just like Wilson kicking fresh air when he was poised to score last year, this year he made an arse of that 3-on-1 situation we had and Bruno caught a free attempt at goal with his studs like a Sunday morning player. There's something about the Etihad where our players seem to fall to pieces in front of goal every time we create something, it's so irritating. Almiron worked hard tonight as always but his lack of quality was massively exposed. That run behind the offside line just before he went off was absolutely brain dead. Shame Murphy wasn't available cos I'd have had him on after an hour, his directness would have been useful. Feel like we generally defended well against Haaland. Foden is the new Ozil in that he'll turn up against us twice every year but do little else of consequence in most games, the little fuck. The goal I thought Joelinton looked leggy and was slow to get back, and there was too big a gap for him to hit the shit through. Bit annoying cos they didn't really have anything else clear cut. Anderson looked bright when he came on, he deserves to be in serious contention for Liverpool. Good to have this one out of the way and if that performance gives us the confidence to beat that whinging German cunt next week then I'll gladly accept tonight. There's not a team I want to beat more this season than Liverpool.

Can't wait to see that shit haircut gormless cunt Foden fail to produce for England time after time over the next decade whilst he looks like the spawn of Maradona against us every sodding time.

Fuck off Miggy. Absolutely brain dead.

Why is it at the Etihad whenever we get chances our players lose all the ability they show week in, week out? I fucking hate this place me.

Miggy's having a hard time here. Play the fucking overlap FFS man.

Feel like Almiron's lack of quality is really hurting us here. We're getting plenty of the ball down that right flank and it's fizzling out into nothing, bar that cross Trippier got across a minute or two ago. Good goal by City but Alvarez had far too much space to line the shot up; Joelinton slow to get back and too much space between Burn and the centre backs. Foden is fast turning into one of those players who saves their best top drawer performances for when we play them. Bit like Ozil used to for Arsenal.

Joelinton way too slow to get back to Alvarez. Great finish but he had far too much time and space to line that shot up.

Mason Nowt having another spectacular, action packed game I see.

Class win that for the Heed. Got them to finish top 7 in my main antepost bet this season so hope they continue to build on a steady start

As if they didn't factor in major fan backlash when they decided to bring him back ffs

Wonder if we're leveraging Shola's contact book here? All these young lads seem to have an agent who is an Ashley-era player

I've a sneaking suspicion Spurs might sniff about Awoniyi.

And, though his surname may be similar to that of Fitz Hall, no he is not a relative of United's former loanee defender.

Forest 2-0 Sheff United Fulham 1-2 Brentford Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth Wolves 1-3 Brighton Spurs 2-1 Man United Man City 1-1 Newcastle Villa 2-0 Everton West Ham 1-2 Chelsea Palace 0-2 Arsenal

Here's one. Would anyone take a respectable defeat here (say 2-1) if it meant we dicked Liverpool by three or four the week after?

He made one sub after 80 mins and barely rotated at all fucking whingebag.

9.5/10 if we get Hall 10/10 if we get Hall & shift some of the bomb squad 11/10 if we get Hall & a CB

Should sign Hall's brother and loan him to Gateshead, help the kid settle in.

Class how Baldwards has been used as a smokescreen and fed duff info again re: Cucarella and Tierney

You'd be forgiven for thinking they'd re-signed Roman Pavlyuchenko
