Ah those rosy specs. 3 of those got us relegated. Beagrie was only involved 50 % of the time and Summerbee is one of the worst players I've ever seen in a City shirt. Famously putting the v sign to the (new) Kippax after fans voiced their opinions
LOL

A win is a win. The spine of a very strong team is being built. It’s odd watching some struggle with basics. We have some of the most gifted players who are not at the races why is the question…. semenyo and Guhei a future captain, class.

Nunes beat the defender crossed and Marmoush scored. A few weeks ago Nunes swung in a cross Halland headed a goal. The weeks in-between wide plyers usually get into those positions and turn back or pass back. Halland doesn't make runs into the box because he knows the ball wont be coming. Please unshackle the players.

If he gets left on the bench to recuperate it triggers a host of 'why the fuck is Doku dropped, Baldy out' posts

Alan Ball got us relegated. Those same three players had a great season under Horton, the season before we were relegated

Did you know?
Since he joined the club in the summer of 2022, Manchester City have won 18 of their 22 Premier League games in which Erling Haaland has not started (D2 L2), a ratio of 82%, compared to a 63% win rate with him starting in the competition (73/115).
