Souness is an absolute cock how has he still got a job at sky the shot he spouts

No one can say anything against Sterling or you’ll have Rio and Ian Wright huffing and puffing on Twitter 10 minutes later.

Captaining De Bruyne on fantasy football paid off

Maybe he just doesn't want to blow smoke up his arse, Ron.

Apart from the red card they got NDombele is great with directing the ball and himself so much that we are more grounded when he plays. Otherside for the most part we are a team of runners (Ok Lo Celso is good with the ball too and some good passes by Winks) We need exactly what NDombele has and had we had it from the start City wouldn't have had as much control possession etc for sure. So I thought he should have got a mention but maybe he isn't Joses type of player I don't know.

We need to drop Dele for the next game. It's like playing with 10 players.

I hope he can recover his form, but right now we are giving an advantage with him in the starting lineup. It's been too many games playing like shit. I'd rather play Lamela or Gedson

I know what your saying but to quote souness “his momentum took him down, because he moves a such a high pace”. Absolute bollocks.

It’s clear that Winks will flourish playing in a team with more creatives next to him. It lightens the burden on him significantly.

Really hope fans don’t give up on him, after his difficult spell.
It makes a difference having Lo Celso in there who puts a foot in and works hard defensively as well. I agree with you completely.

Both his comments about Sterling were bs. His tackle was horrendous. Could have lost Ali for 9 months.

I’m surprised City don’t pick up more red cards. Their tactical fouling is relentless. Every time a white shirt went past a City player, he was brought down

Winks and Lo Celso aren't the perfect cm2 in a million years, but they're the two most mobile and are both tenacious little fuckers who will scrap for the ball. At the moment we should persist with that duo.

Not really, he’s only a few points off where he was at this stage last season.

Liverpool have just run away with it.

I still think he’ll look to leave. I can’t see him wanting to do a semi rebuild of city.

Im looking for problems? I have backed Mourinho since he has been with us. NDombele was sensational when he came on. He mentioned others but not NDombele

Probably because others did more and gave everything whilst it was 11v11, Ndombele put the icing on the cake but other players deserve more credit for the performance today. Ndombele's time to be praised will come.

Apparently pep hasn't come out of the changing room after 45 mins, he might get fined.

I dont think he was that bad today. He is such an instinctive player that he will always get into those positions where he can create. It isnt coming off and I agree that he shouldn't be a nailed on starter, but he is still an excellent player imo.

We see these type tackles infact with Aurier and also in the past Wanyama and others. It didn't look intentional but he didn't hold back either. There is a fine line between it being a bad foul and not a fail. He did get the ball first. If the situation was reversed what would we have said,That's how you get to the truth

I agree. He basically achieved perfection last season with City. There’s nowhere to go but down from there.

It would a fitting endpoint for him if he was to leave after winning the CL this season. Either way I think this is his last at City.

Usually teams under Jose do this remember Pepe at Madrid him and Ramos were always doing it.
