Missed the game as was working… how did Nico do? And what do we think of his chance of being the default starting LB for England?

O’Reilly has been flawless against Salah…. The best full back performance against (albeit lesser version of) Salah I’ve ever seen. Made him look like a pub player.

“Elvis hips” 🤭

Death, taxes….. penalties

Just catching up on Sundays MOTD as I’ve been away….. surely we didn’t actually line up like this!?!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this boy is ALLERGIC to the back of the net!

Are Liverpool good again, or are Madrid just a bit shit these days?

Well done, much better performance than I expected…. Brilliant

Feels overly negative considering how excellent Thai performance has been….. but my god Savjnho is just crap isn’t he? No where near the level required of a Manchester City player. Conversely, Nunes has been brilliant today (so far)

Not as good this second half tho so far

I thought we were magnificent in that half

Wank

Confidence levels today, blues? I’m at a 6/10 - we’re improving and I have medium term optimism, but right now where the squad is at, I think this might be a test slightly too far for us at this stage.

Cherki

Bobb quiet again… maybe he’s more of a ten than a wide man?

Hmmn, not that good so far

Captain Haaland again or do we think Wolfe made might be a better shout this week? #fpl

I’ve been out with clients in London so only just got back to the hotel and watching the post match coverage. So I appreciate I’m late to the party here… but what is going on with lescott’s barnet!?

Cherki .. Nearly had a goal and assist, in what, like 10 mins?

Pretty low quality half of football that ( from both sides)

#filmsky I just ‘Primer’ for the first time, and oh man my brain hurts. If I’ve understood it (had to read up on it afterward) it’s kind of brilliant (and deserves a Nolan remake!)

Holy shit.. (amostreal) superblack night ahead is a F***** Banger! I’m very conflicted (If you have no idea what I’m taking about check out the 50cent many men rock cover) then follow them over to their Spotify page

Anyone know how Nypan has been getting on at Boro?

@thecityramble.bsky.social loved the show just now (non pep city 11), really enjoyed it….. but(!) where were benarbia, berkovic and anelka!? Also special shout out Jerome Boateng and Daniel Van Buten

Jesus Christ…. I just listened to James Blunt’s “Monsters” for the very first time and I’m in absolute bits. In know he’s a bit of a caricature, but this has floored me. I’m wrecked

Monstrous save from donnaruma today.

Thank god that’s over!

Reijnders is getting closer and closer…. He’s going to get one, break the seal and will score 5 in a row at some point

lol donnerkebab really can’t kick a football! Still love him tho. And Haaland… what a monster he is

Pep is a troll at this point… Doku in the form of his life, so off course he’s benched

So that’s the end of ever being dry again then

Of course it’s him. Twat.

God Gabriel is so unlikeable

As the Mbuemo memes get bigger every week, I asked ChatGPT what it would like by the end of the season:

So… causation or correlation…. Savio goes off and we score 4

Utd lose, Liverpool lose, city score 5 and win…. Just need Newcastle to do something against the Arse tomorrow!

Honestly is savio any good? Like if he wasn’t at city what’s his level? Top half, top six, champions league ?

The boys are quite lacklustre today, wake up city

Do we think Foden starts 4 in a row on Saturday? #FPL

lol Phillips man…. Makes a tackle and in doing so sets up a counterattack for their only shot on goal. Dude is cursed

Has anyone EVER drunk a Carabao?

I’m not able to watch the match tonight, but I’m excited by that team. Looking forward to watching the highlights

Would have snapped your hands off for a draw before the game, so I’m happy with the result

My stream has Martin Tyler on commentary and it’s like putting an old but warm and familiar jacket!

Happy with that half. It’s tough against a conte low block, but no bozo moments and some decent stuff… I like the chaos of Doku in the middle tho

Was helping my mum tidy her a bit at her place and I found this little box of nostalgia!

Give this a read if you want a data driven perspective to supplement what we’re seeing so far this season vs last in terms of play/approach. Thx @city-tactics.bsky.social for this, and I will look forward to seeing how things develop as the season progresses. Is it consequence or prescriptive?

That’ll do…. that’ll do.

Also… Doku playing more inside looked great
