Aguero on bench
Cmon City
CITY XI | Ederson, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Delph, De Bruyne, Silva (c), Fernandinho, Sterling, Sane, Jesus
Jesus and Sterling - 2 nil :)
Now David Silva makes it 3 nil, looking good for the team - and my fantasy league team :)
Dream football with only one attack to defend and it's 3 1.
Twas fantasy football for much of that first half.
Dinho not having the greatest game of his life...
4-2 now :o
6-2 and still 25+ min to go. And Chelsea :P
Seven.
Looking forward to Sparky's post-match interview...
What a win! 8)
9 points ahead of Chelsea at this stage :o
Watched it on a Canadian station. Stroll in the park. Missed Stokes first goal but saw Walker's unlucky touch
Dinho tried to block the shot, deflected it past lightbulb
Great game, disappointed by two goals for Hughesless. Hope Walker is alright. What with Sanchez, Messi and a speedy left back to come in and the new Nesta in the summer, we are going places. I dont know who the new Nesta is...
Some of the football City are playing is incredible and a joy to behold. We are so lucky. KDB was in a completely different class. I didn't think it was possible for someone to consistently pick out passess of the class he did today. He goes off and the subs we brought on in the second half were Gundogan, B Silva and Yaya. It is bordering on unfair. Yes, Stoke got two goals but no-one can be fooled into thinking that they were anything other than completely outclassed. It is becoming the norm. We could walk away with it this year unless we get injuries or deteriorate considerably for some other reason.
Dream football and then when suffering a two deflected goal setback we kick into a new gear of great football.
Utd park their bus at Anfield against 1 win in 8 Liverpool. Chelsea lose to bottom of league goalless Crystal Palace and Arsenal lose against Watford.
9 points clear of Chelsea and Arsenal, with a better goal difference of 20 and 23 respectively after 8 games (Wake me up somebody). 2 Points clear of Utd now putting just a little pressure on them and their negative football (is there a Utd fan still awake after watch a Jose 'Masterclass' today?).
Now that's what I call a good day.
Just read:
"City’s goal rush saw them become the first top-flight team to score 29 times in their opening eight league games since Everton in the 1894-95 campaign and equalled their best ever start to a season. The last time City won seven and drew one of their first eight matches, in 2011-12, they went on to win the title."
Talking about passes, did you see the ones Delph was pinging to Sterling and Walker!!!
Highlights of kdb.
The Sane pass was my fave

Superb stuff.
De Bruyne was a God.
InSanely good
KDB, must be worth at least double what we paid, as must a few others
All this without Sergio
On a par with Neymar price
Amazing stuff! The team needs to stay focused and not become complacent, it's still very early in the season but things are looking very good!
An outstanding performance. Not so many years ago we would have panicked after Stoke's second goal but de Bruyne just seemed to click into overdrive.
Possibly our biggest test of the season to come on Tuesday, hopefully we can keep the momentum going.
