Also b Silva has been quiet in his preferred role, shame he's not continued from last week

[blues2win]

To be honest I’d love Tintin on for the full 45 but I don’t suppose Pep will do it. Probably hook Gundogan although I don’t think Bernardo’s been great. As you say play Mendy as orthodox left back. Like to see Sane running at their defence for 20 minutes or so.

[john@staustell]

Pleased with mahrez so far. Walker been good and aguero and sterling look sharp. Sloppy patches in the middle and mendy still rusty. I’d take kdb for gundo or Bernardo at the moment. I’d keep mendy wider until his touch is back too personally.

Gundogan has been awful

[london blue 2]

Think the whole team need to simplify thier game and we will be good. Cut out the needless shit

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!!!

[bigblue]

Need a quick goal to kill the game. The stadium looks extra empty today

[blues2win]

Attendance apparently nearer 60k. Season ticket holders not turning up I suppose.

[Paul68]

Mendy having a mare.

Its not all fun and games and Instagram posts. You did fuck all and “won” three trophies. Get to work on actually playing football

What I've been saying all along.

Carl, you need to have a better pop at him... works when you "do" Serg...

Its building up.

Hasn't worked today mate... have a go at our fucking awful shooting/forwards...??

[blues2win]

Dreadful foul on Kun by Xhaka.

[sheblue]

We're doing our best to fuck this up. Come on lads..

[phips]

get Mendy out of midfield and get Kevin on now for possession!

[blues2win]

Kevin coming on at last

[Mase]

get Mendy out of midfield and get Kevin on now for possession!

Mad how we can all see it but Pep's doing his best impression of Stuart Pearce and waiting until we concede before doing something.

[phips]

KDB on for Mahrez presumably with Bernardo going to the right and KDB into CM

[blues2win]

Mahrez off which is a surprise.

[Sideshow Bob]

wtf?? mahrez not gundo??

[aaron bond]

Mahrez off???

Silva or Gundogan have been worse.

[Mase]

Imagine being able to bring the best playmaker on in the world from the bench

I feel sorry for everyone else.

[CTID Hants]

Why were gooner cunts booing mahrez?

[carl_feedthegoat]

Mendy again
