[Micky Quim]

It could easily be 90-0

So it’s ten at the back and lump it up to Joelinton then. This will be fun. Hoof it out, give it back to them, rinse and repeat. Keep the loss down to 2 or 3.

[ALF]

Dummett made his comeback and it managed to rule him out for 2 more games?

[bodacious benny]

Glad we’ve stuck Wilson on the bench, pointless playing him v City or Liverpool.

[Valentino's fast feet]

I've never noticed 9 subs were allowed

[Toondes]

Matty Longstaff starting ?

[Cal]

Darkest Dungeon was free on Epic the other day, feels like a suitably despairing game to pair with watching this...

[Hjl]

Haven't won at city in about 20 years. Sure we will win this one though ....

[Valentino's fast feet]

Apparently it's our best start in the premier league since 14/15, by one point less, despite one season not being in it. How's that a f***ing stat.

[UlversToon]

Well I suppose we held out for nearly 15 minutes.

[Hjl]

What a s*** run of results this Christmas period is going to become.

[Toondes]

Oh well. At least o got to watch 15 mins. Goodnight all

[originallad]

We've made 52 passes with 61% accuracy so far.

[UlversToon]

We've made 52 passes with 61% accuracy so far.

How many of those have been forward?

[Toondes]

We’ve got nothing as per. Hoof to
Joelimpton - lose it. Man City pass it around and attack. We luckily get it back and hoof up to joelinton. Repeat again and again

[Speedo]

Why isn’t Schär given the freedom Clark has? He’s so much better coming forward... (and Fede should be CB, Schär should be RCB)

[Toondes]

2-0

[UlversToon]

Oh dear.

[Toondes]

f*** me - not sure what cabbage head was expecting when the only outlet is 60 yard punts up top to no ones. Every week - same style - regardless of opposition . Pathetic .
Bruce out
