How's Sagna playing?

Haven't seen that much of him really - he's not conspicuous by his mistakes so that's a good thing. He's letting Navas have the right wing (and Navas has been one of the standout players so far)

[Redna]

GET IN!

[mr_nool]

Ha, I've been hanging out in the wrong thread.
I actually think Bony's been really good apart from his very clumsy challenge that easily could've been a penalty.
Silva keeps scoring too.

Danny Mills on BBC website:

"Looking at these two teams, it's very difficult to say which side is nearly top and which side is propping up the league. Man City are not playing with confidence, and this is very laboured."

Are we really playing that bad?

Nice one. Navas along with Kolarov I take it?

[Dameerto]

7 shots, 2 on target to Leicester's 2 shots 1 on target - City with 72 percent possession in the first half.

[DoomMerchant]

I take it these lazy, bottle-less cowards are up the their old tricks again?

not at all imho.

The team is working hard and running and fighting. Just trying to find a way through 11 men parked at the edge of the box is always tough.

Now if the Foxes come out for the second half and actually try and play some football we should put 4 past them.

cheers

No we're not. We're flat but we're clearly, clearly the better team. It doesn't take an idiot to see that....oh, wait. It's Mills we're talking about isn't it?

Well yes and no. Yes, in the sense that there are things that aren't clicking that used to click, and the players are giving each other a bollocking from time to time for making basic errors and misunderstanding each other. We're not up to the standard that we've come to expect from Pellegrini. But we're clearly the better team. First 15 and last 10 were ours. All of them. So I don't know where Mills is coming from... or wait!

Not at all. He's a fucking thieving cunt. And an idiot.

Ha! Great minds and all that.

we have like 75/25 possession and have created some very good chances. Leicester have been dangerous twice on the counter.

[Dameerto]

Despite Pellegrini's talk about not changing how he does things he's playing Aguero way deeper than he has done all season - at times it's like Bony is a lone striker - Pellegrini seems to be trying to take more of the midfield away from Leicester and it's worked so far.

[guv111]

GET IN!

Is this a lie?

[Green & Blue]

Lovely to get the lead on the stroke of halftime.Silva looks to have found his shooting boots big time, scoring for fun this season .

Are you sure that's just not Sergio dropping deeper himself to get more of the ball?

I'm pretty sure it's instructions - he's lining up with Yaya and Silva behind Bony (with Navas almost level with Bony out wide right)

No. We have been much the better team. A bit more cutting edge and this would be over. Bony has been very effective IMO

[twosips]

Possibly the most muted reaction to a goal on here ever that. One solitary 'GET IN'

[Aggressive Walkling]

Some nice takes and good hold-up play by Bony. Navas looking very good. Lads as a whole seemed to come alive after about the 35th minute.
