Meh was coming. Some finish

 

[Trusty]

strike

 

[Andybtsn]

Right strike.

 

[lemonkettaz]

Always going to happen when they have 200% possession in our half.

Glad the home fans clapped politely at that goal too. Treat for them.

 

[bingham67]

About time

 

[Trusty]

Gk error i think, should probably tip that round

Good strike but probably yea. He doesnt move.

 

[the wopster]

We look like the team that played on Wednesday night

He says the same thing every summer, no matter how many hundreds of millions you spend and then he'll spend half the season complaining about owners and greed and how football is broken. This relentless spend spend spend culture we have is the biggest problem football faces.

I agree completely. It's strange though because even though they keep spending money, they keep vastly over paying for players and never seem to buy a players to fill the gap in their squad.

They've needed a striker for years and years but keep buying players at the end of their career Falcao, Zlatan etc or get guys completely out of their depth on loan like Ighalo. Then go a sign a guy who barely played last season for a £70m or what ever it was.

You'd think they'd learn but they don't they continue to sign cast off from other teams - kind of like what Saudi is doing. It's like they do other big clubs a favour whether it's Schwini, Casemiro, Ronaldo, Varane.

Get Kane, he's on the market, just pay what Spurs want rather. If it's £120m so be it. If you're willing to spend £70m on an untested youngster, it's worth doubling it and getting the real deal.

Soft yellow there

think the ball moves in the air because it was hit so clean, maybe what stops Pope getting a clean hand to it.

 

[scarps]

You get booked for anything nowadays, sent off too after seeing the Mac one today.

They invited our press for 30mins and just played round us like we weren’t even there!!

They had every intention of Greenwood being that striker.

Hopefully this stops all the stupid comments that we’re going to push City for the league

 

[bingham67]

Newcastle looking like Ready salted today.

 

[scarps]

Have City got a lot of injuries? can't remember who they have sold over the summer, didnt even know they had Kovacic but the bench looks a tad, who the hell are they, even Bob has got a seat

 

[Trusty]

I think Pep will wanna start seeing more from Grealish, he's played well over the 6/9 months but i feel his end product is too often just a foul/blocked cross or corner.

 

[Purdy]

Commentators confused why Gordon tried to control it. You can’t dive if you shoot obviously

 

[the wopster]

We have done well to get in on 1-0 down
