Let's hope he stays there.

We really should have scored in that first half dominance.

May well regret not if our second half is typical of this season.

C'mon City

Decent first half performance and we should be in front. Here's hoping Mr Hyde doesn't turn up for the 2nd half.

Decent half but nothing to show from it. Poor final ball and finishing again.

He scored the penalty. I didn't have much faith. But they did it. I love them all. The race is on.

Some people might say that was a good game for the neutral, I am a total nervous wreck.

The ending was hugely entertaining thanks to VAR who also kept my prediction intact.

That was good, then flat, then dire, then hopeful, then nerve-wracking, then superb.

Incidentally, I think Khusanov is going to be a fantastic player for us in the future. He is improving game by game.

That is a massive win. Bound to instil belief and confidence in the team going forward.

Third goal being disallowed is absolute nonsense. If it had just run in with no foul from the red card player, would it have been chalked off. NO WAY.

I'm absolutely buzzing after that comeback win, and I have a gut feeling that Haaland will be back on song for the rest of the season.

I agree, common sense should
prevail here. Keep the player on and let the goal stand. Haaland did not touch the ball.
However, if the Rags or bindippers need a goal to win,I speculate that goal would have stood moreso with 15 seconds left.
Yet again poor officiating by the officials.

Tbf, it was correct officiating to the letter of the law.... just you don't always need to apply it fully
