CITY XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias (C), Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Rodrigo, Reijnders, Bobb, Foden, Savinho, Haaland
Subs: Trafford, Stones, Ake, Kovacic, Cherki, Doku, Nico, Bernardo, Lewis
Bobb starts. Cherki back on bench.
decent team , but would have preferred Doku starting on wing because of his excellent form
Sadly I think Rodris days at top level are over
That is just a hamstring injury. Hopefully a few weeks and he will be back. If it was his knee I would be worried.
We have played really well but should have scored more. Phil has been a bit profligate. Concerning that we are not finishing teams off. But we are playing a lot better in the last couple of games.
Their player didn't handball it purposely because he was confused by it coming off his team mates arm. Two handballs no penalty.
need to kill the game early second half
We are playing flowing 'attacking' football. The goals will come and we will get better throughout the season.
Rodri will be fine but going through a difficult patch with injuries.
looks like we are falling apart again second half
Time for a couple of changes to try and kill this game off
Awful second half. Absolute purgatory. But three points thank fuck.
That was a tough watch the 2nd half.
I don't think the potential pens were pens. Wasn't deliberate and arms weren't away from body.
3 points off the top.
One concern i have is that the other players aren't scoring
I think we are getting there, 7 unbeaten , back in the title race , good times 8)
