Doku and Grealish pull out something miraculous at Forest then get dropped. Could only be Pep. Can only assume he’s resting them for Juventus in the week.

Best Bernardo performance all season last night imo.

This Kev and Grealish duo in midfield has made all the difference. Incredible and balanced and bringing Gundo up a level. Using Doku really effectively and his decision making has been so good. Shaky defence at times but it’s much better overall from City. Onto the next. MCFC OK

Jack finally showing the class we knew he had. Been wasted out wide but finally he’s showing what a player he has portrayed in glimpses in City colours. Struggle to see how Foden gets back in if Jack plays like this.

Haaland poor in front of goal but his linkup was brilliant. V good and the goal scoring will undoubtedly return. Kevin de Bruyne lit up the Etihad once again and Jack Grealish looked a player reborn. This duo returning made Gundo look like the player he was. Doku electric. Bernardo finally himself.

Jack Grealish deserves immense appreciation today.

Kevin de Bruyne is our saviour.

If Akanji Ake and Kev are all injured we are simply fucked. Hope Akanji was precautionary and Kev was fatigue. Ake looked like another muscular one. I really think we ought to recall Callum Doyle.

Kev and Grealish in the midfield works so well. Brought Gundo to another level too, linking up incredibly. Doku been outstanding too. Bernardo linking play up nicely. Haaland not bad. Defence need to look more solid

ABSOLUTE CLASS FIRST HALF FROM CITY

Much much better from City already

In the warmup Jack is central so that’s basically confirmed. Gorgeous.

So nice seeing Kev back today.

Blues, I suppose many of you remember Tony’s chippy by the ground which is now Mr Macs. There’s another chippy en route from Piccadilly called Tony’s. Anybody know if it has any affiliation with the old stadium chippy?

Absolutely love the lineup. Jack central hopefully. Will be lovely to see and i think he will be class

Has anyone tried turning Manchester City Football Club off and on again

De Bruyne should’ve started. It’s not even debatable.

Someone smack Gary Neville round the face.

Fucking idiots. Dias twatting around

Kev on for Lewis please. Grealish on for Bernardo too.

Doku really livening things up. He’s frustrating to watch at times but you see the intent he brings to this City side

Gvardiol needs to learn to play CB again because we just can’t drop Ake. The man is a gift from the gods.

Only one at HT… i’ll take it.

Akanji been woeful. Ake been good. Lewis good. The rest of them just really really off it and look so anxious. Scared to impose themselves on the game. Nunes not looking good. Might be time to release the Belgian duo🇧🇪

Rico Lewis our brightest spark. He wants it. He has fight.

Can’t tell if we’re slow in the legs or just slow in the fucking head.

Gary Neville and the ref together are making me seethe.

Slightly better but also leaves us open to the counter for Liverpool to put this to bed.

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT A BOOKING FOR GRAVENBERCH

Playing the same midfield that started at Spurs was just fucking stupid. They got run absolutely ragged. And the same is gonna happen here, if not worse.

West Ham couldn’t… could they? 😂

We’ve been using the fact that we’re second to stop ourselves going insane. By the end of the weekend… we will most likely be FIFTH. This is unbelievable. Need to really pull our fingers out tomorrow.

What lineup is everyone thinking for tomorrow? For me: Ederson Akanji Dias Gvardiol Ake Gundogan Nunes De Bruyne Foden Haaland Grealish Akanji at RB and inverting, Ake better against Salah so play Josko at CB. Nunes offers legs. Gundo for control. Foden wide but moving central swapping with Kev.

Only appropriate team for the weekend is- Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Gundo, Nunes, De Bruyne, Foden, Haaland, Grealish.

We’re actually shite.

Dias is the only thing that holds this defence together. Really hope he’s back for the weekend

Gvardiol can’t play against Liverpool.

We’re gonna lose LOL

Stupid, stupid goal to concede

Nunes bringing so much positivity to this midfield… always looking for the forward ball. So so refreshing 🩵

My captain, Ilkay Gundogan… he’s back. He’s cooking. Welcome home Mr Whippy, finally showing glimpses of the man we loved for years on end.

Gvardiol really making up for his mistakes against Spurs. Been our best player by some distance

Being a prat runs in the Timber family apparently 🙄

Is this REEEAAAALLLY Phil Foden?

McAtee still unable to get a start. Appalling. Deserves a start.

Why not let McAtee play, Pep? Our midfield is getting overran and absolutely fucking destroyed and the youngsters deserve a fucking chance. No excuse, nowhere to hide. The youngsters would be fighting and running and fighting for the badge. Certain players today just looked lax. Not like City that

Pep not making subs til after 70 mins is utterly mind boggling. Today’s performance was inexplicable and inexcusable. Losing 2-1 is one thing. Getting absolutely smashed 4-0 is an absolute pisstake.

Losing Kova really showed today. We lost all control in midfield. Bernardo running around aimlessly but actually trying. Gundo too slow. Rico looking far out of his depth. Kova really has been huge. Losing Rodri was like breaking our arms. Losing Kovacic is now like breaking our legs too. Shite.
