[Milo]

Good weekend so far 

[Guest bennytwohats]

Harder than it needed to be, but great 3 points, particularly given results elsewhere

But ending up with 3CBs, 3DMs against a Grealish-less Villa?

I think we were so tired so he wanted to conserve energy for the Slavia game. 

[Lcfc82]

Great result.

really good 1st half, made hard work of it in the 2nd. Maddison going off injured didn’t help though

[Unabomber]

Their goal really flatters them

Second half not so good for the old ticker, but job done! 

Know what you mean lol...

[Tielemans63]

Alex Scott absolutely bang-on about Ross Barkley 

[midland_red]

Massive three points in difficult circumstances. Just had a download to celebrate...

[Royston.]

Great win and sorry for being negative but 2-0 at half time yet we shit the bed 2nd half and its torture to watch.

 

Oh yeah.......SH11111T ON THE VILLA!!!!

I think he’s seen enough to know that they weren’t going to break us down easily, so in the end his decision was vindicated. No need to chase a game you’ve already won. Their goal was mainly us switching off provided we didn’t to that again the game was won. So thinking about it, it was actually a great bit of management from Brendan.

Great win but WTF was Brendan up to with his subs? Just inviting pressure in the 2nd half. Tense last 20 mins. If that was CR in the 15-16 season we’d have gone for it and won 1-4

Nobody's doing the double over us this season  (ok West Ham still could but I think we can at least grab a draw there)

In a vacuum I'd agree but in the context of having played the defending champions, away in eastern europe and then away against a lively Villa side (who have already beaten us this year) I think it's ok. Especially as we have so many injuries and key players to manage.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

That was an absolute chore to sit through. 3 points stands us in good stead though and let's hope we can up the performance for next game. Luke Thomas and Cage played very well. Harvey good although needs to mix it up rather than always cutting inside. Vardy was rancid today as a negative.

I've never felt so comfortable yet so nervous at the same time.

 

Stupid early goal forced us into game management mode and we did it pretty well. Probably took more out of us doing that but it's another great win. 

 

Surprised he didn't take Vardy off for Iheanacho. 

 

Everyone moved out of position for their goal, but generally defended well. Castagne and Thomas excellent for the most part. Soyuncu outstanding again. 

 

Barnes a real threat, shame we couldn't get him running more second half. 

 

This part of the season is all about wins. 

Evans gets out fast enough and the cross doesn’t come in...

[KFS]

Can’t believe we let the geezer from Avatar score 

[Shambles]

Considering the lengthy period that Castagne has been out, I thought he was absolutely immense today, not dropping his energy levels and covering the back post at the death. Gem of a player!

[Corky]

We've gained three points on Liverpool, two on Chelsea and not lost out to West Ham or (as expected) Man United.

 

Very good weekend.

[adam]

Redknapp thinks it will be tough for barnes to get in the England squad because of the likes of Rashford greenwood and saka.  Get ****ed. 

[ALC Fox]

Great week for Luke Thomas 

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Can't remember the last time I was that nervous towards the end, but really pleased overall, great result

 

Thomas is the real deal isn't he?

[David Hankey]

Sometimes you have to win ugly. At the end of the day you can't get any more than 3 points from a game. 

[Spudulike]

3 City fans on the pitch. Most of us could only dream of that.
