Phil is ill 

[KunDB]

Gutted Phil is ill.

Still a strong team.

C'mon City.

[gavin]

Cagey start. We're not imposing ourselves as we need to.

[gavin]

And then we score from the corner 

[Stephen Paul]

bloody let off there

[Stephen Paul]

need another goal here before the half

[Stephen Paul]

very lucky to be winning at half time

[gavin]

It was a poor half in many ways for us. Not convincing at all that. Pep needs to get into them at half time or this could be a very tense second half coming up. Gvardiol was playing up front at one stage.

[KunDB]

We were fairly average and do not really deserve the lead.

Team needs to improve significantly second half or the PL title could be slipping away from us.

Doku cannot defend.

[gavin]

Great finish. Needed it too as we've been shite today.

[gavin]

An excellent three points but not a performance that inspires confidence that we will win the rest.

[KunDB]

PHEW!!

[Stephen Paul]

more confidence second half
Big man looked sharp and hungry which is good

[reddishblue]

Gvardiol continues to impress me.

He improves with almost every game now, can't wait until he's settled, we might not need a new left back.

Totally agree , he looked a bit uneasy when he arrived at City , but is improving game by game
