Ortega Moreno, Stones, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Mahrez, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland
SUBS | Ederson, Carson, Grealish, Laporte, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Akanji, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand
A wake up call perhaps for an off key Ederson v Brighton?
C'mon City
Think he's probably just given the new guy some time in an almost dead rubber. Eddie did get an assist on Saturday, even though I agree he hasn't been so good lately. Interested to see Alvarez and Haaland together again.
C/Mon City
Let's give the haters even more to hate
Didn't know the Reyna playing for dortmund was son of City's ex yank captain Claudio Reyna. Good lad.
Piss poor first half.Mahrez offers nowt.
Not great half I believe - been disturbed by work so missed a lot too. Sort it out second half.
Mahrez has been well out of any form this season. Needs benched.
Mahrez.
Is.
Shit.
And I wrote that before he missed the pen!
Pathetic penalty attempt. Why is he not told no talking penalties. Grrrrrrr
Missed most of it but very disappointed to see City playing between the defenders endlessly at the end. We should be making a better attempt to win than that.
He should never take another pen . And why the feck is he wearing gloves when it's not even cold? Wimp

And he was arguing with Diaz and Gunda over a free kick in the first half. He should have got in the summer but hopefully he'll go next summer. Let's hope he puts a good shift in the cups so we get a decent fee for him.
He should have been subbed well before the pen, but after he missed it seemed that Pep feeled obliged to keep him on. Shite.
Ake MOTM for me. Good to see Stones back, he was a bit slow in the first half but vastly improved in the 2nd. Excellent management IMO.
Yes having big Stones back is a bonus
Haaland slight foot injury
Didn't see it, alas. Mahrez should be off pens. Why isn't Gundo hitting that? Mahrez has seemingly passed his sell by date. It can happen suddenly. He's been brilliant for us. But, unless there is a rectifiable, non-football reason for his fade, it's probably time to put him out to pasture.
I disagree BBK, he's had a few good moments here and there, but I can't say I've been impressed with him for any longer than one game. He's a one trick pony and only seems to do well against the lower placed teams who might have a left back that is daft enough to not realise that he's just going to cut in on his left side and shoot.
Maybe brilliant was over stretching it! I still view him through the prism of that PSG performance (possibly both legs).
He's been very good and contributed well to a very good team for long stretches across 3-4 seasons. I think when he has a slump it is more noticeable, perhaps because his skill set is limited, but overall, he's been a solid performer for me. He's fucking frustrating at times which I think also amplifies his poor/less effective games.
Never seen a player who can bring a ball down and trap it like Mahrez.He's got great tekkers.Never been a fan.Still cant forgive him for that penalty miss against the dippers.
