Doku worries me, as he is prone to losing the ball far too often.

C'mon City

Doku wasteful with the ball. Foden has had a stinker: wasteful with the ball, wasteful with chances and giving the ball away. Haaland wasteful with chances. To say we need to fucking buck up up front is massively understanding it.

We should be level. Foden and haaland misses were poor. Doku having a tough game and should get hooked.

Still 45 mins to turn it around. We've still been by far the best team.

Bobb for Doku and Alverez for Haaland

It is such a shame Doku has no end product and loses the ball so often.

Foden amazing.

We are far superior but a cracker goal or a fluke goal or a bad penalty decision can always change a game. We have to score to win not just dominate and that is exactly what we did.

Brilliant from City.

Foden turned it around in the second half. A cracking finish for the first. I thought the second took a bit of a bobble but they'd had loads of luck. Haaland took his well in the end but one goal from the chances he had should be the least a top striker gets. We need to be more deadly against decent teams. Because the rags are not decent and I'm not being spiteful. They were a very far second best and lucky it was close for so long.

My opinion of the rags

They are like a Sunday League pub team

The proverbial men against boys. Foden is in the form of his life. With the work rate and commitment to match.

Just before the next game, it is worth reflecting on just how superior we were to the rags. 3-1 really flattered them. We should have been winning at half time and have gone on from there. At the time, I said it was one of the most one sided games, especially derby, that I had ever seen. That is really borne out by all of the statistics. The rags should really be embarrassed at their performance.

Yes, I read that. If I was a rag (shudder) then that is what would have me most worried and want him sacked. They were awful in general play and weren't worthy of a goal.

How quickly did the rag end empty after that third goal? I'll give it to the rag fans that was truly amazing.
