this is 1 **** of a good game end to end

This games great isn't it? City, IMHO, have by far and away the most talented squad in the league. With the best coach in World football at the helm. Yet Bournemouth, with nottin' like their resources, are matching them stride for stride.

You cross that white line and heart and effort can be one heck of a leveller.

Ibe and Brad Smith. Which was even more bizarre. Ibe at least had all the talent. Brad Smith was just utter dog ****. But they stumped up what could end being £6 million.

And before the £terling the other side for what City dropped on him. Still the same player he was when he broke out the second half of '13/'14. Tremendously talented who doesn't use it and relies WAY too much on his pace with some real bad decision making his poor end product more often than not. Sané the other side looks twice the player and he's less experienced.

His instinct finishing is fine, if you give him time to think he ***** it or forgets to keep control while running the ball too fast at a keeper one on one. (Aguero is right there, do an hour after training with the Reserve keeper ffs).

Alot more impressed with his final ball this year than last, he was Navas levels of terrible last season, bordering on early Walcott comparisons. Can get there, but then ***** up. Already made 5 more assist this year, and been played in 4 postitions in wing back (again).

Sane is the lad for me though big fan. They both look so much more comfortable left and right, although both still cut in and seem to forget they are going onto the weaker side. On the right, hit the line. On the left cut in. ffs kid.. :lol If Pep has finally found a settled base, we should see both improve as we go..

Dont think they have the best squad in the league it's arguable for sure. I think they have a lot of dross and aging players.
 
Bravo,
Clichy, Kompany, Zabaleta
Navas, Fernando, Gundogan, Delph, Noilto,
Aguero, Kelechi


Not a terrible second XI on paper (based on tonight). Most are bang out of form though.

City and Utds squads are far better than anything else in the league. Kind of expect that though with the investment.

Romero
Darmian-Jones-Rojo-Shaw
Carrick-Basti
Mata-Fellaini-Martial
Rooney

Presuming this holds (the second should do it. Fair play to £terling. He finally put a decent move on someone), that really is an excellent 3 points. Well done. Bournemouth remains one of the toughest 'lesser' side grounds to get something.

Just looking at it and Chelsea don't go there until April sandwiched in between yourselves at home and Utd away. A real tricky 3 game spell. They may well get a result at Dean Court and if they do, fair F's to them. But you could well see them dropping at least another 2 points.

Keep winning and chipping away. Telling yer wack. There's a LOT of twists and turns to go yet this season. This things FAR from over.

That better?
 
like Fraser alot, kid is full of running and decent ideas.
 
Bournemouth are a football club in DESPERATE need of a win.

They get one, they'll be sound. But right here, right now they're sliding toward that bottom 3 fast as this losing run continues.
 
Just the other post to go lads, and the keeper has to run round the goal with his shorts down...

Aside from City being a better option to win the league, I don't believe this league is anywhere near done. So if I believe City can get back in the race, then I sure as heck have to believe L'pool can. More pressure on Chelsea the better.

If we're back to normal, and every sign of that was there Saturday, the top 4 place isn't in question so look as high as you can.

This still makes no sense to me, you're outside the top 4 now, so if that's normal then I guess you're happy with 5th? City winning is only going to make it harder for Liverpool and United as it's another contender in the top 4. Right now it doesn't really matter about the title, because truth be told, it's a two horse race at best, I just can't see Chelsea dropping 11 points in 13 games to give yourselves a sniff. Plus if you're back in the title race then I guess United are as well as we're 1 point behind you.
