Phil is visiting Santa tonight with his children lol

Glad Ortega still first choice. Happy Kevin is back.

Interested to see how Ajanji performs tonight.

Finally Walker is deservingly dropped.

Big night for Gvardiol who had to avoid stupid errors, reviver boss confidence and get back to being world class.

C'mon City

Plenty of stupid mistakes still in evidence but we haven't been punished. It's all about getting a win though and so far so good.

[KunDB]

I'd forgot what it was like to win a game. Not great but an all important win, sorely needed for confidence.

KdB a different class.

[gavin]

Three beautiful points. There's still plenty of work to be done at the back. But it is great to win. We have to build on this at Palace. Fantastic to see Kevin back although he too was careless and could have given a goal away. We need Erling to find form now.

[Stephen Paul]

City are back 

[Stephen Paul]

Where was Foden , at the xmas panto ?

[Hesperus]

A much needed win and a confidence boost. Still a lot of issues in the team though. Defensively we are bad and better teams would have punished us.

KDB was great , Grealish in CM was good. Doku played very well.


Ake injured again though.

[Stephen Paul]

Akanji also out injured again ffs

[gavin]

Phil had Bronchitis. He does seem a very sickly young lad.
