Manchester City (H) Build Up

[Le Chef]

A couple of things i noticed - No silly free kicks conceded near the goal (ala Lucas), Can ran and ran as Can ran Can. The pressings top quality, but why oh why the deepest midfielder didn't pick up KDB at will, he split the line so often..

That said 4-3 flattered them - 6-3 would have been a closer score line

The ****ing big man going nuts!

If we could just win our next 3, Swansea away, Huddersfield away and Spurs at home we'd have at worst a 6 point gap from 5th, probably more as I'm not sure Spurs will beat Southampton away and Utd at home in between then. Then we'd have played City twice, Arsenal twice, Spurs twice and even Leicester/Burnley twice. No chance we are caught then, would be great if we could work ourselves a position where we can rest players for the CL at some point.

Great pics these.

We probably say this **** all the time, but I just love this set of lads. We're building a squad of great footballers and seemingly really top blokes with a great work ethic. Buzzing.

Spurs play United, us and Arsenal on the trot very soon. They'll drop points, and I'm sure we'll beat them at home. 2nd is totally on for us and we can have a right good tilt at the CL.

Just need Can to sign his contract. Going from the prem to Italy is a massive step down.

Still think it's a lifestyle choice. Otherwise couldn't agree more - in football terms he'd be nuts to leave us.

2nd and a CL and FA Cup double would be alright.

Christ. Imagine. I'd take 2nd, FA Cup and go deep in the CL without winning it. Would be a great platform for us to go full tilt at the lot next season with big Virgil, Naby, Tommy Lemo and others next season.

I'd take that! It would be great for the lads as well and another step up the ladder.

"well that came to nothing"

[Liverpool]

I know we got the win but the set up from City is ****ing nuts, next level stuff never seen anything like it.

KBD as well as his skill, immense workrate today. Lash the Coutinho money at him

[Liverpool]

that defeat will hurt them, no invincibles tag for them
