Something about kev not playing brings the best out in Bernie and gundo.

Great win that after the 1st few seconds. Superb game management in the 2nd half. Negatives were Zinchenko ( Phil got well frustrated with him at one point) and Stones who's resorted to type a bit since England and the pubs opening. We looked a lot more comfortable at the back with Laporte on.
Phil MOTM but honourable mentions for Bernardo, Mahrez and Gundo. Rags slip up against Leeds and Dippers and we can win it in 2 games time.

Foden is starting to look like a nightmare for every defender he faces.
I remember the game in the swamp, in the League Cup, where he owned Wank Bissaka in every way.

So young and already a Big Games player. If his mind will stay on the game, he will be something out of this world. Hands down.

Good game last night, but very worrying the way Gabby played again in his time on the pitch. No where near the ball and when he had it was really off, lost it or his typical offside. I don't understand what the hell happened with him since the international break, but he is in his worst form I've seen him with us.
Also, why no Delap on the bench? When Sergio is not fit and we really don't have a forward option on the bench, why not him? We were told he will train with the main squad next year. Start early, ffs, he wants to prove himself, he can do it.

Let's go and win the final. No rotation except the gk, play like we did and we will be ok.

Massive 3 pts.

Someone put that we'd not won from 1-0 down in the league before last night since Brighton away last game in 18/19. It was actually Leicester at home last season when we won 3-1.

Pep’s said he’ll be training with the first team next season.

MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola has hailed Liam Delap's "incredible" progress and promised the 18-year-old striker a first-team spot next season.

Rory Delap's son - linked with Real Madrid earlier this week - netted on his City debut last September and played his first England Under-18s game against Wales on March 29.

Guardiola said: "Liam is doing incredibly well - we are in touch with Enzo Maresca to see how (EDS players) are developing.

"Next season he will be with us, training with us every day."

I cannot praise Phil Foden enough what a young player he has become, somebody posted earlier, he must be a nightmare for defenders, energy, pace and skill all rolled into one dynamic footballer, I think the jury is still out on how Pep has used his talents lately - I am in the. he hasn’t used him enough section- others think Pep has used him correctly, anyway that’s not relevant now, what is relevant the fact we have a potential world class player and possibly a future captain in our team.
