4. 0. City away win

I hope to see a real bounce back from the surrender of Saturday.

Come on City

Quote from: reddishblue on January 20, 2026, 16:58:16I always fear the worst when I see Lewis in the starting 11.

I've never understood why Issa Kabore hasn't been given more of a go.

There is a lot of attention on the defence and rightly so to some extent but we were completely toothless up front too.

I think the midfield in general was to blame (individual errors aside). Everyone was too far apart and passing became impossible

Hopefully a decent win this evening

Most probably. We were awful.

Yes he should have seen red, but that doesn't change the fact we were sloppy and toothless and non-competitive.

I always fear the worst when I see Lewis in the starting 11.

If Rico has another shocker, I'd say that's curtains for him. I'd like him to succeed, but RB is not for him and I don't think he's good enough to get into the middle.

I'm getting annoyed with a player being appointed captain and then leaving... Not since Vinny have we had a regular captain.

S. Distin - 3 (Seasons)
R. Dunne - 3
Kolo Toure -1
V. Kompany - 8
D. Silva - 1
Fernandinho - 2
I. Gundogan - 1
Kyle Walker - 1.5
K. De Bruyne - 0.5
B. Silva - 1 (likely to leave at end of season).

Isn't it time we had a regular captain? At 28, Dias would be my shout.

CITY XI: Donnarumma, Lewis, Khusanov, Alleyne, Ait-Nouri, Rodrigo (C), Reijnders, O'Reilly, Foden, Cherki, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Bettinelli, Ake, Marmoush, Doku, Gray, Mukasa, Noble, Mfuni, T. Samba

Strong side
