The naughty boys are back
C’mon City.
Rotation sorely needed at this busy time of year.
Ruben seems to be in a bad mood tonight?
There's a few City players in bad moods after that half. The ref is determined to give them free kicks every time they go to ground. Not a great first half from City regardless. Hopefully, we will get a stronger grip second half and not allow them to fall in our half.
Very physical and referee near to losing control as he has let them away with too much. Toney is a sly bugger.
While it stays at 0-1 we could do with not giving away soft free kicks in our own half.
Chelsea drew 1-1 with Brighton
The way this is going it could easily go the same way
3 points that will do nicely. 8 points clear and Chelsea v Liverpool next up.
Playing devil's advocate a bit here, but I felt our tactics were a little negative. Playing the full width of the pitch with Grealish, Silva, Foden, and Jesus all pushed right out to the wings - and no real punch up the middle.
Hard up against such a packed defence. Not one that will live long in the memory. But I bet Chelsea and Liverpool would have taken a game like that. Three points. Onto the next one.
Great result against a very impressive Brentford
