***City v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

Nice to end on a typical fuck up.

Gonzales only on the pitch because of a Kovacic red card , shows us and Pep what he can do ,

De Bruyne shows us he can't do it for a full game ,

Bernardo was my MOTM worked his socks off and fought for everything.

Not sure Rodri needed to be risked ,

Haaland not at the races

[zuricity]

Stadium singing the guardiola song. Mancityfans.net goes into meltdown.

I wouldn't say a meltdown , but there has been a hell of a lot of hot air blowing through recently.

[Sparklehorse]

Well, credit where credit is due, not bad at all and goal of the season to boot

[dave watson's perm]

Jack's final appearance at the Etihad?

Embarrassing, frankly.

Anyway, 3 points, goal of the season, rodri returned, Bernardo looking back to his old self and an almost perfect send off for the best midfielder I've ever seen. I can go to bed happy.

Nunes cant go one match without a brainfart, hes playing better game by game but costs us at least once a game, fuck me its frustrating.

[Sparklehorse]

Fuckin ell, KDB’s farewell and sky showing about half an hour of ads

[nottsblue]

Given what was at stake and after the emotions of losing the Cup Final, fair play to the boys tonight

Decent performance and a good result.

[KinkyKinkladze]

The whole stadium has stayed behind for Kevin's farewell.

Well done blues. Proud of you.

Probably tells you why Pep won't stick him in the middle as well. His passing isn't up to it when there's no pressure, let alone in a packed midfield. IF he stays, back up left winger if there's nobody else and that's it.

[nottsblue]

Pep sobbing away at the KDB tributes

[KinkyKinkladze]

This is brilliant. Well done sky for actually showing it. All the ex players getting a warm cheer and applause from the crowd. Fantastic stuff.

That’s the problem, you look at it and he has size pace and think he could do a job in the squad fill in couple of areas for a few games not necessarily starting but Jesus he just has it in him to drop a bollox at any given point. I don’t think it can be coached out of him or even he would learn at his age to stop it. Seems a popular player aswell with the squad but he just can’t be relied on

Dias is way too slow. it's not the first time this season he has been caught out.

[Sparklehorse]

Did he mention Pep ?

[carl_feedthegoat]

Decent game with a few dropped bollox.

We have pep next season with CL qualification ( he would have been here even if we didn't qualify) so we just have to hope the bald cunt changes his management style.

Next seasons success depends on him buying top players as its the only way hes going to win anything by having wc players in most positions...any lessor players like Doku and Savhino and we will have a repeat of this season IMO.

[Mase]

So if Forest beat Chelsea we could lose and still qualify?

[carl_feedthegoat]

We still need a point to make absolutely sure , apparently

[Indianablue]

2 bad back passes, needlessly made because we like to pass it around and keep possession, 1 results in a red card and a yellow for our keeper, the other ends up miscontrolled and a gift of a goal. .
Miss of the season from KDB, he didn't do much else and Haaland showing a lack of confidence and abiliry to harry and chase to get the ball back.
A GOOD WIN but Bournemouth could have scored 3

[stupot]

Well we did score 3, should have been more. Rodri back, unbelievable emotional tribute to super Kev and Kova until the sending off the best player on the pitch again. Always driving forward, really clever passes. If he plays Saturday, we win the Cup IMO. Goal of the season for Marmoush and 50000 plus singing the Guardiola anthem. Great night
