Steffen, Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne (C), Foden, Bernardo, Sterling.

SUBS | Carson, Aguero, Mendy, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Delap, Harwood-Bellis, Mbete.

C'mon City strong team

KunDB · January 03, 2021, 15:38:21

Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker, Ederson, Ferran Torres, Tommy Doyle and Eric Garcia are the six first-team confirmed positive Covid-19 cases.

Even with 6 first team layers out no spot for Laporte, what is going on with him?

gavin · January 03, 2021, 16:09:06

Laporte has to be injured or ill. Good to see Cancelo isn't one of the Covid positive people as it was widely thought he was. It at least gives us the chance to start with a balanced XI.

Stephen Paul · January 03, 2021, 16:14:21

Going to be difficult

Stephen Paul · January 03, 2021, 16:14:53

Probably take a point now but we need all 3

lee · January 03, 2021, 16:17:22

We'll beat these they are not that good

Stephen Paul · January 03, 2021, 17:04:05

Decent

KunDB · January 03, 2021, 17:11:26

3 0 coming up to half time and best performance of our season, itâ€™s been coming.

gavin · January 03, 2021, 17:23:47

Great first half from the lads. Gundo superb. Some great stuff from Phil and KDB too. At times I watch Bernard and wonder how he doesn't collapse through lack of oxygen. Just how fit is that bloke.

Stephen Paul · January 03, 2021, 17:46:16

Solid at the back
Dias some signing

KunDB · January 03, 2021, 18:16:18

Dias best signing in the summer of all signings.

Hal paced training canter second half, with eye on Carabao Cup semi final.

KunDB · January 03, 2021, 18:23:32

Disappointed to lose the clean sheet.

The Blue Blooded Maniac · January 03, 2021, 18:27:35

Ye was a shame to let that goal in at the end. Class otherwise.

I know they came on late on in be game, but Kev, Gunda and Foden worked constantly and were replaced by Dinho, Kun and Mahrez. You could see straight away where the space was where Kun and Mahrez weren't tracking back. We can all forgive Kun I'm sure but Mahrez is what he is.

I hope Pep sticks with that starting line up for the next match.

lee · January 03, 2021, 18:28:48

Cancelo looks the bollocks to me this season

Player of the season so far

Neil Mcnab · January 03, 2021, 18:40:31

A great team performance, in second gear for the last 45. KDB, Gundog and Bernardo have have been at times not 100% this season. They were today and the performance showed it. Having a few days rest cant have hindered either. Hope we can carry on and stamp all over the shit.

Stephen Paul · January 03, 2021, 19:36:40

Good for Steffen getting game time also

KunDB · January 03, 2021, 21:11:29

Gun dogs on fire 🔥 recently and helping drive performances, while KDB has been relatively quiet. KDB firing today and Bernardo and Cancelo great again. Only player worrying me with his performances is Raheem, but he will get back firing them in soon Iâ€™m certain.

Hesperus · January 03, 2021, 22:55:17

Good win that. Weâ€™ve got a good run of very winnable league games now. We need to win them all and see where that takes us.

Paddy · January 04, 2021, 03:03:54

stones and dias successful pairing keeping laporte out. Fantastic first half and a good overall performance. We are still in with a chance on that show...

Swiss · January 04, 2021, 08:20:49

Think Laporte must be a covid case as he didn't make the bench.

But yes, dias, stones partnership looks good.

Ace win. Was good to see a great, hardworking performance from a lot of players. Even Zinchenko had a decent match.

My only negative was that Rodri seemed well off the pace.

Other than that, a really good performance.
