Good strong team

C/Mon City

Getting close to full strength again. Great to see. Bit curious how he keeps putting Carson on the bench.

Shame about the scousers but at the start of today I'd have settled for us to have to win to go top.

Jammy scouse bsatards

Did not deserve their goal.

[Stephen Paul]

Sterling on fire

[Stephen Paul]

Dippers top of the league for 46 minutes

[Stephen Paul]

Bernardo is on some form

[gavin]

Seems wrong to complain at 2-0 up at half time but I'm going to do it anyway because I'm ill. Our finishing has been dreadful again. It is beyond ridiculous how such a talented team can be so bad at finishing.

As for Grealish, I'd be tempted to get rid on a free after that first half performance.

We need a striker.We need a lethal finisher in the box.Im not complaining about our play but as Gav said above we are wasteful.Should be 4 or 5 up!!

[lee]

Grealish looks lost!

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Nasty 'professional' foul that...

[KunDB]

Definitely need a Pep striker, lethal and industrious for the team.

Three points job done.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, City top of the premier league tree.

[gavin]

Good win again. The table is beginning to take shape now 

We need to improve our finishing still or it will cost us in a big, tough game.

[Victoria]

Grealish a waste of money not worth 100m

[Victoria]

We need a striker or 2 that can give us 20+ goals a season. That I think is our weakness. Liverpool are scoring goals for fun and I think if Sala and Mane don't get injured they will win the premier-league.  The goal difference between  us an them is getting bigger by the week

[Hesperus]

ACON could impact Liverpools forward line with Mane abs Sarah away.

Agree though we need a striker. We’re doing well but it feels like we’re not scoring as many as previous seasons  (haven’t checked the stats though).

If Haaland has a £75 mill release clause that starts in Jan. I’d be all over that If I was Tixi.

[Stephen Paul]

Sergio will be hard to replace but Haaland would be my first choice

[Stephen Paul]

Bernardo in top form this season

[Neil Mcnab]

Great result, onto the next one. Does Haaland suit Pep?

[zacc]

Bernardo is on some form

such a joy to watch

[KunDB]

Grealish a waste of money not worth 100m

The one thing we do know about Pep is that no matter how good or average a player is who comes in, Pep and his coaching team will rebuild him and make him unrecognizably better.

First he plays the player in all sorts of odd positions, that the player has never played in (like Grealish as a number 9), effectively growing players understanding of the role of others. Then he develops their technique, passing, possession, positioning and eye for the game.

Give it 6 months and we will be seeing an amazing Grealish, I offer Cancelo & Rodri as recent examples.

Exactly 💯

[Stephen Paul]

I didn't rate Rodri or Concelo when they arrived at City , but now they are almost irreplaceable

[gavin]

If Pep approves his signing then he must have faith that he can mould him but I think that Pep was really impressed when Kane played in midfield against us and he will still be number one target.

I was talking to a Spurs fan today and he reckons City will be back for Kane In Jan
