    Don't get me wrong, obviously an exceptionally technical group of players, but for the love of god someone shoot. I wonder if there's a team in world football that has fewer shots per number of passes. I know the stats say 30 shots, but only 8 on target, from a billionty touches

    Just put it in after the Arsenal game. Hope our manager and players have been watching to see how to defend!

    Oh dear. Have to say, really only got themselves to blame. Two hours knocking the ball about to each other, trying to pass it in. That pen from Bernardo though, was a howler. They look great when the keeper goes early.

    Can only imagine the comments if Collins had taken off two of the players most capable of scoring and also able penalty takers!

    Gutted Stones didn’t take one although if he did I doubt it would’ve made a difference as I doubt he would’ve taken it instead of Bernardo or Kovacic

    I prefer City winning over any of the other big clubs. People act like City are something new, when in reality the 'big 4' always had a monopoly and did whatever they wanted for years & years. I love seeing their downfall. I mean talk about cheats, Arsenal literally cheated us out of promotion to the top division all those years ago...:)

    And lost. I’d love to see the shots on target per 100 touches stats.

    It's the cynicism of the current Man City that really gets me. They weren't bought as a money maker, they weren't even bought as an expensive toy for a billionaire who likes football. They were bought by a state to launder its reputation and distract people from their human rights abuses.

    It's a genuinely grotesque appropriation of the sport. Same with Newcastle, I hope they both win nowt and go bust.

    I personally dislike City for what they’ve become, not their history. They have a fine tradition and of course were seen as the ‘proper Club’ in Manchester, for many years. But the sheer scale of sportswashing that’s gone on there is truly deplorable for me.
