Very average from City tonight. Final ball often poor against a disciplined feyanord side. Thought we missed David Silva. Nice to see Foden get a few mins. Bernardo Silva doesn’t look entirely fit to me? Mangala looked ok. But a win is a win and it took Just one real moment of magic from Raheem. Think we should play a entire reserve/young team in the final game as it’s three days before the Derby.

Foden and Diaz on the bench. Yaya starts, D Silva Kompany rested. But it’s a really strong side.

No worries fellas. We don’t have first sown up yet but if we win tonight and shakhta lose we will have. Doubt Kompany will stay fit till Christmas! but we can hope nine.

No dispute there Chucky. But as Adlab says we were due a decision going our way having been on the end of two wrongful sending off and a Stone wall pen turned down already this season.

Don’t disagree with that Chucky and Adlab, just can understand why the ref didn’t give it. It’s a hard call to make at the time and difficult for the ref to judge where stones was in relation to vardy when he is 20 or 30 yards behind play. Cheers Jim.

Brian, imo the problem with this rule is that it is so open to interpretation. I accept that most pundits I have heard from thought Kompany was the last man and should have got a red. But a few and more importantly the ref thought that Stones was providing cover. The ref saw it once but some pundits saw it several times and still came to differing conclusions. I think its a good rule as it favours the attacking team but its not easy at all to administer. Perhaps a 10 or 15 min sin bin rather than a red?

Foden and Brahim Diaz must both at least get a slot on the bench surely. Along with Tosin.

I can’t stand Pulis. He has never had a good word to say about my club. Something to do with a certain game against Gillingham I suspect? Also when PNE got rid of Darren Fergusson, Alex Fergusson recalled the United loan players from PNE, which I suppose is fair enough if you think your son has been hard done by. But he then rang Pulis and asked him to recall two Stoke players Danny Pugh and Michael Tonge who had just gone on loan to PNE. The shameless Pulis did exactly that! Add to the major fact that his football is truly awful. I Hope the old dinosaur he leaves the game for good. Good riddance.

Brian, Sterling set up the first goal yesterday and so far this season he has 11 goals to his name and two assists. I think the problem he has is that his movement is so good is that people expect more of him with that final third. But personally I think he is more than pulling his weight. He has improved vastly since last season. I was sceptical of his performances last season but now I feel he should be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. He is getting bettee and if he continues improving on this trend he will be in a league of his own in a couple of seasons.

Dan Hegarty sadly died at this circuit a couple of days ago. Road circuit with Armco. No run offs. Very dangerous and even more so on two wheels.

Hang in there nine please. For this site to continue be interesting and diverse it needs posters like you. NB can I suggest that you try and be a bit more restrained in your posts at times. I know you have attracted more of your fair share of nasty responses over the years on different forums but that is no reason to have a pop at other posters like nine on this forum. Please try and keep things in perspective. Cheers Jim. Ps I hope you take this post in the spirit that it was intended.

To be honest I don’t think Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs are consistent enough to challenge for the league this season. But no way is this league over as Chelsea and United played some good football yesterday and are more than capable of chasing down City in the next few months. 8pts is nothing.

Was on the lash in Manchester then on to Deep Purple so was following on phone. Just seen MOTD. Kompany a bit lucky to be honest. The tackle was very early in game and Stones wasnt far away so that just saved him. But that aside the goals were superb. KDB shot was sublime. If Coutiniho is worth over 100m then what is this lad worth. Real shame about stones. Two Stupid pointless friendlies in a week and he is out for 6weeks. Cheers Southgate! You wonder why players pull out. Really hope he doesn’t play in the two further pointless friendlies in the spring.

Yes strange from Spurs, the games where they need to press on with their good form they seem to stutter. Didnt play like they can vs Utd either. Poch needs to sort that somehow?

2-0 at HT A foul when it clearly wasnt leading to an offside goal and a second goal that could have easily also been given offside. I wonder if the whinger wenger will mention those? Lol
