Seeing City get spanked, you just know they are going to pull a worldie peformance against us next weekend.
23 Nov 2024 19:46:42
Was thinking the same. but we could be 11 points ahead of them. let's hope!
23 Nov 2024 20:00:28
Must win game tomorrow and go from there. hopefully they turn up thinking they need to win it which should make it a wonderful game to watch.
Let’s win tomorrow and hopefully we give the team a proper Anfield welcome next week. We have to see this as a huge opportunity to put some daylight between us and city and Anfield will play a big factor in it.

City are resetting after winning 4 titles in a row and selling half a dozen players. Their rebuilding is on the corner. Let’s not fall for it. Zubemendi / Ricci in January plus a defender and a cover to Haaland.
23 Nov 2024 20:33:40
What 6 players have they sold ?.
23 Nov 2024 20:36:40
Bet they're glad Pep signed for 2 x more years after that S**t show. I have a feeling its going south and he should have left as a legend. No pressure on next weekend :)
23 Nov 2024 20:41:16
For me that city team is falling apart at the seams, still some quality players but a few ageing badly and some of the younger ones aren't at the same level as before.
23 Nov 2024 20:59:28
Let’s have it right it’s not like they haven’t got the money to buy a new team .
23 Nov 2024 21:04:17
They will buy their way out of trouble xx.
23 Nov 2024 21:05:27
We'll do them. Something bad is going on over there at the min, I was thinking they'd probably come back with a win today which they desperately needed but they got beat like that? yeah we'll smash them. Not worried about it at all.
23 Nov 2024 21:19:25
Damn that Singha beer went to my head. Kisses!?
23 Nov 2024 21:35:34
But Arsenal won!
23 Nov 2024 21:57:48
Wonder if Pep has a 14 day cooling off period in his new contract.
23 Nov 2024 22:11:28
Spurs would’ve been thinking the same. Playing City away after an international break when they’d lost 4 in a row before?
You’d be expecting City to be right up for it and to take you to the cleaners. But the same old problems showed up again.
They are still decent on the ball but when you win it back they are so open. You just have to run straight at them and they fold.
Spurs could’ve scored with every attack, City’s defending was absolutely woeful.
They’ll be coming to Anfield hoping for a draw.
23 Nov 2024 22:17:39
You seem determined to kill the buzz @Lee. Are you really sure you are on the right forum.
City have the same squad as last year apart from buying the youngster with potential.
They couldn’t reasonably be expected to shell out the regular millions when they are finally having to account for their past activities.
KDB is finished at the top level.
Foden’s form has dropped off a cliff.
The troll who lives under the bridge isn’t quite so devastating when he doesn’t get the service but, most of all, Rodri is out injured for the season.
Rodri not being there exposes the average players at the back, which hasn’t been helped by the defensive injuries they’ve had / have.
Everyone can see the animal is wounded so teams are actually giving it a go against them. Spurs aren’t that good but they made City look eminently beatable.
23 Nov 2024 23:14:31
City are going through what we did after attempt to lift the 4 trophies they look like it has caught up with them no disrespect to spurs who were outstanding.
23 Nov 2024 22:49:38
@MJJ, City aren’t resetting - they are basically the same squad as last year, they signed one player over the summer - now there’s a surprise given the 100’s of charges they are trying to wheedle their way out of- and he’s basically a promising kid.
The difference is KDB is finished at the top level and Rodri is out for the season.
The service to the creature that lives under the bridge is suffering and the best shield for the average defence they have has gone.
They are vulnerable and the word has got out and teams are - for the first time in years - having a go at them.
Funny thing is Spurs aren’t that good. City are just average. It would be interesting to know what percentage of games they lose or draw when Rodri isn’t there.
From our perspective, and as ever, our match is the most important game of the season, although given the obvious boost of going 8 points clear if we win it is probably even more important than usual.
23 Nov 2024 22:52:50
Pep left a mess behind him when he left barcelona. Same with munich. I wonder has he stayed too long at city and the players have had enough of him.
23 Nov 2024 23:24:49
In fairness us being top of the league at Christmas isn’t an uncommon theme.
Let’s just hope we are still top in May.
24 Nov 2024 00:00:35
Is the service to Haaland suffering WWW3? He had some decent chances today. Chances that Nunez would be crucified for missing.
They look nervous because they know that if they lose the ball they could concede.
They start playing too safe, lose the ball and the defence just run away from the player in possession. How many times did Spurs players just run in a straight line and get into goal scoring positions?
City just look woeful without the ball which is feeding into all aspects of their play.
24 Nov 2024 01:59:17
More in general than today @BP. Although I do take the point that he had some chances today.
24 Nov 2024 02:46:50
Making excuses already, they are currently a mess, winners take advantage when the opposition are in turmoil. Stop making excuses, they are a mess and we should win, if we don't its on us.
24 Nov 2024 05:57:52
Just to add WWW. that promising kid was bought from within the "City Group" - which adds fuel to the fire that they are in serious trouble with these charges. There is more going on behind the scenes than we know.
So nice that they are going through this "crisis". couldn't happen to a nicer club!
24 Nov 2024 08:11:16
Just to add to my comment above.
Great to see City lose again though and it’s definitely advantage us.
Ball is in our court today. Bring on Southampton. The way the play and when comparing the two teams we couldn’t ask for a better opposition first game back in this current climate.
24 Nov 2024 09:14:55
WD3 is right, they’re missing Rhodri. I also agree KdB is not the same player, his still has the technical skill, but his legs have gone.
We’ll just take it one game at a time, any sort of lead is irrelevant at this stage.
24 Nov 2024 11:20:32
It’d be a fun time to to chat to Noel and Liam.
