I also hope Roberts keeps trying to take on defenders even tho he lost the ball there a minute ago
Your time to shine lad

[kinkylola]

love the look of roberts on the ball

[Cocacolajojo1]

You switch to a Spanish feed and the commentator is having a monologue comparing De Bruyne with music, where the silent moments are needed to make a whole. Or something like that. I think.

Suck it Tyler.

Yaya encouraging him a moment ago, when he passed back to him, he passed it straight back, sort of a 'go on son'

[PeterParker]

is yaya playing??

What does he actually do?

[mr_nool]

MDM lucky not to be sent off

[Moonchesteri]

Oooo daft Martin that could've easily been a red.
And I actually think it would've been of this game wasn't four nil! Got away with one there

[bigblue]

Willys made some good saves today

[mr_nool]

Navas goes off and we fall apart...

[PeterParker]

Amazing Willy, but the save at the offside of Van Arnhold was class.

Willys definitely grown in stature and is sticking out a bit during the game

[mr_nool]

So we're in effect playing a 4-6-0 now?

[Tony P]

KDB not happy with Sterling.

[bigblue]

So we're in effect playing a 4-6-0 now?

More like a 2-4-3-1-0-2 but it's all the same

Now that would be typical City; play brilliantly and win four nil away but then get disqualified for playing too many men at the end!

GET IT TOGETHER PELLERS!

[blues2win]

Who do we blame Martin or Willy? Probably both.

[Beefymcfc]

I'd like to say that's deserved, but it isn't, we've took our foot off the gas.

Those pitxch invaders are by far Sunderland's best bet of getting a score.

It was a very well timed run, to be fair.

[Mase]

Otamendi has Dunnie calamity written all over him!
