So with Kovacic in there with Rodri we have much more stability in midfield. Also controversial I know but Doku is doing alright in my eyes. Great play by him there as I type this. He may be rough around the edges but that's four shots from him who else has done that. He is positive and direct and draws fouls. Defenders shit themselves when he gets going. Better than pass pass pass and back pass. Come on lad.

Been watching football since 1964, Doku is a good football player, give the lad a chance

Well said mate.
I also believe Kova will come good. The jury ist still out on Nunez, but I'm quite optimistic for his second City season

Erling hits the outside of the beans. No sign of the barcodes getting into this one.

Agree. Think we also need to get Phillips back. He’ll be class in his 3rd season.

Well done Bern. Gave the ball away and any other team would have scored, but wasn’t his fault.

Droll, but not completely outlandish. I don't think Phillips ever will come good for us, but plenty of players have needed a season and a half to acclimatise (Grealish, Rodri, Stones, etc.)

Shame we’ve not got Bob Taylor still. He’d have been class tonight
