CITY XI |
Bravo,
Sagna, Kolarov, Otamendi, Clichy,
Navas, De Bruyne, Fernandinho (C), Yaya Touré, Sterling,
Iheanacho
CITY SUBS | Caballero, Zabaleta, Nolito, Agüero, Silva, Stones, A. Garcia
Aguero being benched is no surprise to me. Silva probably being rested.
Could we play any less effective than the other day, please God no.
C'mon City a dynamic win to start a new year roll of wins to help us leave memories of 2016 firmly behind in our minds.
I feel sorry for Stones, it's not as if he was the worst defender against Pool!
They better pull their fingers out today.
Has Nolito and Sane been injured?
Is Fernandinho stupid or what?
Navas is totally ineffectual.
Same old same old in new year
We are shit, we are shit, oh yes we are shitttttttttttt

I still believe we can win this but we are overloaded with to much indirect football. FFS Pep lets just rip and go all out second half. attack, attack, attack.
Some of our decision making is unbelievably shocking.
Almost as bad as our corners.
Finally a goal and playing with spunk and passion.
God bless Gael Clichy
2 0
No penalty
Incredible goal by Sergio
Playing with so much heart and passion now.
That was some finish from that angle.
Well done Bravo.
Prick.
Bravo exposed as weak again.
Sagna deserved RED
DeBruyne lashing out.
Discipline so, so bad.
Finger tips and hanging are the words coming to mind
Second half grit and passion to win was so good to see. I got tired of sterile non productive football. Sensational win.
Good win in the circumstances. Footballers are ruining football with their behaviour. Sick to death of seeing grown men rolling around play acting. Fernandinho was rash but their player was disgraceful with his rolling around and just seen same from that rag Jones to get a man sent off too. Makes me want to give up watching football.
More spirited performance from City in the second half at least. About time we played in a first half though. Lovely finishes from Gael and Sergio.
Good win and more importantly a better performance. I'll discipline is becoming a concern though. Dino deserved his red. What happened on their goal? I was level with the goal line and it didn't look to have crossed until Braco was fouled? I can only assume it had gone over the line in one of the previous 2 attempts because no way should it have been given for the third attempt.
Anyone seen Peps post match interview?? Interesting!
A great result. Cant keep waiting for the second half to get going. We need a signing or two, or we will finish outside the top four.
I watched on a stream and the ball apparently crossed the line on the second attempt, so the foul was after they had scored.

He's getting a bit pissed off with refs, journalists, city fans behaviour in the ground and other things in England. It has been visibly building in his interviews over weeks now. No more Mr Nice Guy.
I think Pep is incredulous at some of the refereeing decisions and quite frankly bias against City. No protection for City players, just look at the foul on Silva today at edge of their box not given. Happens time and time again with no referee protection. A worse than Fernandinho foul in the Utd match not even a yellow and another clear offside goal given to Utd.
Dean is a joke, Mason today was at very best incompetent - and that is a nice way of putting his performance. Not saying it was not a sending off as it was but other teams are getting away with the same or much worse and Mason give no protection to our world class players being chopped down time after time.
