If we keep it to 1-0 for the break, I reckon Foden will come on and turn the game around. 1-2 to us, is my bet.

Wow are you all on drugs re guehi?? Yes shite today. Class so far. 10 levels above wanky dias. And this is on enzo fucking eith peps clean sheet defence.

It's a Cherki off at half time sort of game

So far it has been all City with one cock up for their goal. Their goalie is playing well.More chances will come despite the fouls this referee either chooses to see or chooses to ignore

We've responded well to the goal. I really don't get you lot sometimes. Villa were always gonna be up for this and make it difficult. Enzo and Anderson needs to stamp some authority in the middle, the wide men are playing well but service to erling is abysmal. Some better choices when attacking and we'll see this through. Cherki doing ok, definitely not today's week link. If we absolutely had to make a change it'd be Enzo or Anderson for bouady, maybe doku for Phil and swap him over with nduja sausage. Still don't know how to spell his name.

[Nick]

Hes playing on the wrong side.

Hes playing with dias.

We have two players who aren't full backs, who cant llay full back.

Hes been shite I agree.

But maresca needs to stop throwing first halves away with the wrong team. This is the third time now after the swamp and PSG.

Is it arrogance? We cant carry enzo and cherki eith a gash defence.

Anderson and the diddler have to play in all difficult games.

Their keeper showing us everything that donna isnt.

Guehi is a 4th choice centre back for a team with our aspirations. Too many errors. More than laporte had in his whole career and laporte left due to lack of game time!

Nunes missing is huge we are infinitely better with him and we havent got a player who can play there against anyone decent.

Enzo weak as piss in midfield. Id take him and guehi off but he wont have the bottle to take him off.

Big second half its there for us, next goal huge

[carl_feedthegoat]

Guehi is off - that’s how well he played !!!!

He needs to sit on the bench for a few games .

[KinkyKinkladze]

Guehi and Cherki off, Lewis and Foden on. Khus and Dias at the back, Lewis right. Lewis moving into midfield will help, but manzambi is going to fucking ruin him. Bold move this.

[john@staustell]

Lewis on just in time to give it away

[PeterParker]

Count Dooku is really world's best impact sub, isn't he?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Brilliant.
