Re Raz - I’d like to see our fan base back raheem through this poor run. He’s much much better than this.

[City64]

I'd happily see Sterling replaced by Grealish.

Get our £50 million back this summer best all round solution. Sterling owes us nothing but it is time for him to move on .

Well Done Blues , great performance.

On another note , really sad there is no post about Peter Lorimer , great player and one of the best shots I have ever seen RIP.

I think it is now time to be extra proud of the achievements of this group of players and the manager in the most difficult of times they have produced performances and results beyond the hopes of most fans, well done City

Poor form? Does the term “form” stays when are at least 2 years of him being shit?
I would say 4, but let’s go with just 2.

Thanks Mate , should have checked.

Is it a poor run though? His good performances are the exception rather than the rule. He was great in the second half v the dippers but has resorted to his usual level since. He does the same things game after game and the result is always the same. No end product.

Raz is class. He’s just having a bad run. Why do we always need to hate on someone.

I remember when everyone (not everyone but you know what I mean) wanted shot of Gundo. Now look at him. Same with Zinchenko and mahrez. Can’t we just support our players without always having a villain.

[Nick]

Pep normally plays him every minute to sort it, he's missed games since the derby

Pointing out someone is shit doesn’t mean it is any hate involved, but that is actually a problem that needs solving in order to progress.
Today was another example we are far better without him.

For example, If people point out Sergio is not because they hate him, but because they realise his time passes.

You haven’t been keeping up with socials then, hearing lots of people giving abuse to the lad. I appreciate the frustrations, I do. But when we’re winning almost every game the abuse the ls gets seems excessive to me.

[City64]

No abuse here aimed at Sterling. He owes us nothing since he arrived and has won just about everything . But now he has become surplus to requirements due to his shocking drop off in form .

Is this him engineering a mega bucks move to line his bulging pockets further?

This is fair. But I think he will come good. Not long ago mahrez was a one in 8 game. Keep the faith.

Well said friend, you wonder what team some on here are watching. I stood next to a Paul Power hater on the Kippax for a decade - never a good word. He had a point though unlike Raz's critics, they forget too quickly. He is a player at the height of his powers and still climbing - he just has had a few extra bivouacs lately

I don’t think it is. You can see how frustrated he is. He’s always been a confidence player - he needs an arm around his shoulder constantly. I think Arteta did a lot of that with him (from the Amazon Documentary) and his poor form has coincided with Arteta leaving.

Who would we replace him with? There’s only a few of his type that are good enough and they’ve already been here - Sancho, Sanè. I honestly don’t think it helps he’s played out of position all the time.

Grealish. Can play left or central. I think Pep would improve him too.

[Whassat]

Grealish would be a nice signing I think.

The beauty of this team is that when you reflect back, you realise how comfortable we were. Did steffan do anything?

He was good on the ball...
