This wont be popular at all and trust me im ecstatic about us winning but that first half in particular was awful in an attacking sense. Defensively we have improved although we still give away chances but this is Man City but going forward we had no idea particularly first half. Is this not worrying even slightly? We cant just get Kane back and all we do is long ball it to him.

Ecstatic about winning and hopefully this will be the catalyst for a great second half to this season. Vital win. Tanganga was super impressive, Hugo was brilliant. Winks was good

You're right, we were awful at retaining the ball in the 1st half.

The person I quoted said he went over the ball, so was relevant to say he didn't.

Sterling goes for the ball, no excessive force, is in control (not off his feet).

If that breaks a leg, then it's just unfortunate, but it's just a late challange.

I know it got over turnt but was sons red any worse than that?

Just back from the game and really impressed with the effort the lads put in today.

We’re no where near the finished product yet, but today showed plenty of signs of encouragement for next season and beyond.

He didn't make any attempt at the ball and it was from behind so I'd say so.

Tanguy will be the man who makes this team tick. It’s no coincidence he came on and suddenly Son found himself through on goal after Tanguy weaved some magic.

He and Gio are going to be an incredible partnership. Throw in Kane, who is extremely clever, and utilise the pace we have out wide etc, I think we’ll be more than fine

Yeah, I'd say we're about 3 or 4 signings away from being a serious force. Add a proper DM, a new RB, a backup to Kane and, if we're being greedy, another top attacking player, and we'll have one hell of a side.

I don't think too many of our rival fans yet realise how good Lo Celso and Ndombele have the potential to be.

This won't be popular with the football snobs on here but I honestly couldn't give a fuck how we play if we win something.

I agree but playing like that you would end up losing more than you win. Thats the problem. It puts pressure on our defense. It exhausts the players i think. We wont have teams missing chances and we wont have teams going down to 10. Its proper chaotic at the moment.

I can’t think of a team that has done any good retaining the ball against City in the last few years.

I think Jose got the tactics spot on today, everything went according to plan.

I think he will definitely make us more creative up front, I have no doubt that he will, just the long balls man - argh.

Maybe you just need to show a bit of patience, I doubt we'll see a proper structured, consistent, Jose team until next season tbh.
Until then just hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

Completely agree with that last bit. They’ll be in for a massive shock next season.

Are you saying it should be a red because son was sent off?

For me, Son's wasn't a red either. It was a freak accent (easily a foul and yellow) that led to the horrible injury.

But anyone saying putting a player in danger has to say son's was a red, right? Even though, as you say, the fa overturned it

They need to grow beards before they can leave...

Hate to break it to you mate, but we played plenty of long balls when we were doing really well under Poch.

People conveniently forget about this little nugget.

Somehow amongst all of that, one of my fave bits was seeing Hugo go absolutely mental at Sterling after the penalty save and resulting altercation. He was proper fired up and squaring up to Sterling - don’t think I’ve ever seen Hugo like that. Got a right buzz out of that and Toby lifting the single tier stand

I think he was also laying into Walker, which I enjoyed seeing.

We won't play Manchester city or Liverpool every game.

Obviously, you haven't spoken with many Korean people.

Ndombele and Lo Celso are gonna be amazing for us. Very exciting.
