He has it in him to find a corner from there.

Aye, City clearly took their foot off and sat back which is why we were allowed to create chances. That was obviously the plan from the beginning too, or to catch them with a set piece or something if we were still level. Basically just stop them from getting out of sight at any point. We never 'played for a small loss', it was probably the best chance we had of getting anything.

The first 30 would have been nowhere near as bad looking if we weren't so shite on the ball like. I get that he's keeping us fit for Brighton but I'd still be starting Merino.

Controversial one, but I'd rather have Pep's side than Rafa's

Yedlin. ? Atsu had the ball in the box but dawdled on it instead of pinging it across.

Fucking hell man Atsu, good build up too. We cannot waste chances like this.

Gayle can score from there too. What goes through your mind to do that in that situation man? It's completely ridiculous.

It's not working well because our squad is utter shite. It wouldn't work any better if we were playing this apparent perfect blend of attacking and defensive football that Gary Neville is advocating for though Man City could have scored more, but they haven't. We're still in it and haven't looked like collapsing yet. As I said already there are differences between trying to do something productive when you get the ball and going gung-ho. Its the players I am blaming btw not Rafa Ah right, aye we've been really, really bad on the ball like.

Fucking pathetic from Gayle like. Fucking hell man. I'd have sent the cunt off.

Lucky. Diame needs to come off like, pointless playing like this with someone who gives the ball away as cheaply as he does as consistently as he does.

De Bruyne just knowing exactly what to do and knowing it was going to work for that 1-2 was disturbing to watch like

Plus this side have won 18 games this season (the other being a draw) There's literally nothing anyone can seemingly do against them. We're trying the "break records for sitting back" approach and tbh so far we're probably better off than expected.

Our composure on the ball has been awful too. I don't have any issue with our tactics but when we're on the ball we cannot panic like we have been. Hopefully Merino for Diame at some point improves it a bit.

Gary Neville still disgusted by the fact a team worth about thirty quid look shite in comparison to a Pep Guardiala led team of super men.

The defending from that counter attack after the corner was in bullet time

Never hop skipping and jumping over the line previously set by Gary Birtles.

"If it was a boxing match the ref would have stopped it" City never really did anything though We were eventually opened up by a ridiculous pass but this has hardly been some wave upon wave of devastating attacking football so far. Hopefully we don't cave in and obviously at some point we're going to have to go forward, like we just have

aye, I think we've limited them really well. Not sure what else we're genuinely capable of.

Dummett there looked like he'd just been given his first ball for Christmas.

Fucking hell man the challenge wasn't that bad man Gaz shut the fuck up

So the theme of today is 'Neesy shouts at Jonjo Shelvey'

I'm just hoping for a strong professional performance and for us to not concede more than one. I'm not usually one to say "anything else would be a bonus" but aye, anything else would be a bonus.

Don't think that's true is it? Thought Messi and Cavani at least were ahead Most for club and country, don't think he has the most when just taking club goals into account: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/26/harry-kane-mauricio-pochettino-tottenham-southampton

It's pure unadulterated jealousy like, I love it.
