Answer could be to sub Gundo out when we hit 50'-60' - He started the game very well but as soon as he got tired he started losing the ball and duels. We have to acknowledge he's way to old to play this much.
@@MattylovesCiteh It could work.. Imo it's just so impotant to have him a bit further up - maybe as an 8. His ball carrying is next level and really helped us last night. But imo no idead should be off the table. We still have to improve alot so it could be an idea. Just maybe not against Juve
Jury still out on Bernardo has been getting progressively worse for two seasons. Let's see how he goes rest of matches. But Gundo and Walker should be put out to pasture.
I loved our team yesterday. We still made stupid mistakes that could have lead to goals but I’m absolutely happy after that match. Grealish was a complete baller yesterday.

Super....Super Jack....Super Jackie Grealish! Haven't seen him smile like that in a while. Jack and Kevin with bernado and gundo....was working nice yesterday. Josko is morphing right before our eyes. Erling playing the false 9 playing Josko through. New roles, learning curves. End of this season will be 🔥
I've been asking for false 9 Haaland since last season, it took a crisis for Guardiola to remember Haaland's abilities are more than just tap-ins in front of goal.
Good start to this december month. The Liverpool game sucked, but that's over nothing we can do but to focus on ourselves. On to Palace where we'll need another great performance. Hoping to see Jack start in the midfield again
6 games to play in all of December. I have said previously when we was in the middle of the losing run. Judge us at the end of December, so much changes.
Let’s be honest Bernardo Siva played top class because he was put back in the right side and a certain individual has been stinking it up there for the past 10 games for us. Yes, Phil Foden has 0 goals, 2 shots on target in 10 games for us in PL this szn. He’s been super mid. No wonder why we lost all the games with no attacking prowess other than Haaland.
Can’t believe the amount of glazing Ortega gets. It’s like people are blind to his constant mistakes passing out from the back. He is often the direct cause of chances against us because he keeps passing the wrong player or pass them in an awkward position and lazy passes too
This is true. His distribution isn't even close to Ederson, but nobody in the world is. He does save shots alot better than Ederson though. I think the problem is Ederson's mind might be half out of the team already since his summer transfer saga with the Saudi league. Probably thinking about the money. Can't blame him. Already won everything possible with City.
if we can not lose for about 6-8 games were in with a shout. May need two excellent signings in January. (RB and CDM Ideally). Personally i feel Gundo/kova/Grealish as 8 is decent as long as we get an actual CDM as our 6 and then If we get a solid RB and let Rico play as a squad player again we are fine everywhere else! The summer will need some brave decisions on outgoings though!
The Lewis hate baffles me, the lad is barely 20 and everyone acting like he’s already washed. He needs time and he definitely needs minutes. Walker is definitely way past his prime tho.
@@SebastianDalhedFootball is all about opinions and I don’t think Rico needs minutes, I think he needs a rest. I think the hate is because he’s a bit lightweight, which is unfair. City do lack physicality in midfield. Agree 100% about Walker
Fancy the prospect of beating all of Arsenal, Lpool & Chelsea in the reverse fixture, therby throwing the race wide open and instilling panic in the 3 contenders.
Whilst Grealish did commendably well in midfield for starters, l wld urge him to avoid falling as much as possible for a (holding) midfielder. Should watch videos of Rodri moves.
I love the fact all city fans reactors and social media influencers are saying city are back to winning ways and not acting like united fans saying WE ARE BACK😂
Grealish was great in the midfield, i've said it in comments on past videos a lot of his strengths are very midfield oriented. I've been a vocal critic of Doku but he got his goal contributions in yesterday so I was very pleased with his performance. Honestly I think the time off from his injury might have been the best thing to happen to him because I have no doubt the coaches were hammering in tactics and being unable to physically train during injury may have had him focusing very hard on that. I still think he has a lot of developing to do and you can tell that some of the plays I want to see him make are a bit unnatural to him, you can see him almost start to do something silly and then stop himself and make a better play. That's a very positive sign but full development will include getting him to a point where the plays are second nature to him. Ederson is a beast, but Ortega has always been an extremely strong shot stopper, so in a situation where our CDM dominance is somewhat compromised due to injuries I think it makes a lot of sense to have Ortega in the net with the amount of defensive lapses and counter attack pressure the team has been faced with. I still think Ederson is an absolute beast and he is a good shot stopper in his own right, but in the current situation I think the shot stopping edge that Ortega has probably makes more sense given the teams drop off in control of the game in Rodri and Kovacic's absence
As a Liverpool Fan I wouldn't rule you out .The same way I can't rule out Arsenal and Chelsea . This season might be the survival of the fittest. I also truly believe we are the best team and we should get better and better .
Ortega concerns me, and the fans who rate him concerns me. Everyone raves about his shot-stopping, but no one talks about him causing those chances in the first place with his poor and lazy passes out the back. His distribution is piss poor and his stocks goes up every time because of this. Every time he puts a pass wrong he gets to make a save that makes every football idiot salivate. Ederson should still be our number one if we’re going to continue playing possession football and playing out from the back. Otherwise we might as well go back to old school Mancini era tactics and get Hart out of retirement.
This is what I've been saying. We've been slaughtered by injuries this year. Imagine Liverpool without VVD and Salah. Same thing would happen to them. We also have the pending court case so doesn't make sense to spend money to reload the squad.
Well as a rival fan (Chelsea), I honestly mean it when I say I don't fear you this season. You've not looked yourselves all year, not just in November, good team but totally beatable. Irritating we had you on gameweek one before we began to start ticking. See what next season brings.
Yesss johny bro I was at the game last night&bed did look like we’re getting better,Gundogan looked sharper Doku was highly impressive &for me Grealish was proper outstanding in a slightly different roll more in the middle &kdb showed his class again that we both know he has&aparently the reason kdb hasn’t been getting on is cos he’s got/had a sports hernia,Dias starting to look sharper again&the leader he is&when Walker came on did a good job&still belive he’s got stuff ya give for us atleast this season,gutted though Ake picking up another injury hope it’s not as long as expected cos he’s proper class&solid,as for Gavardiol still would like to see him learn defensive midfielder as for 1 worrying thing is we still look week on counter attacks especially straight down the middle 🫣hopefully we can kick in Haaland was quiet but he’s created gaps for other players,all in all will take that&yeah Liverpool but far ahead &can’t see many defeats for em yet can see a few draws in there could it be last game of season stuff all over again 🫣😜as always johny class&good ta see ya a bit happy again 😜👊👍
Doc pep is master of the games with the talisman and the entire man city's squad will decide regarding lifting the fifths premier league title in a roll . All the best
Unfortunately with Ake & Akanji they wont fear us for long with Walker, Lewis, Dias & off form Gvardiol as our only fit senior defenders lol😐 ...l like Jackie in the midfield, hope Pep sticks with it
Gvardiol’s concentration is severely lacking. Walker has been poor. Sadly, injuries to Akanji and Ake mean that Gvardiol and Walker will be playing every game for a while.
yes KDB had an amazing match, but he is 34.. soon 35. cannot relay on him for the future, and he is injury prone now last year and this year he missed a lot.... Same for Bernardo his legs are old. Walker also.
The "slump" was nothing to worry about as I've said all the way through. We had a short bad run because the core had been ripped out of the team, NOT because anything was wrong, because players were past it, because Pep had taken us as far as he could and had run out of ideas, or any of that nonsense - and sadly a lot of those comments came from so-called City fans. How does a team go from winning the title to being "past it" in the course of a few weeks? Get a bloody grip! An "in-form" Liverpool scraped past Southampton, we're flattered to beat an out of sorts City team by 2 goals on their own turf and drew at Newcastle, having conceded 5 in 3 matches. Doesn't sound like a team that is likely to pull away at the top of the table to me.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Grealish brings stability in the midfield, he should've played there against Liverpool.
I have been sayin tht for years.thts how u get the best out of a player like dis
KDB, Dias, Jack's, Silva and all City players had an excellence performance
Can't relay on a KDB anymore... you cannot be a 1 man team he is 34.... City needs to move on next season and find a long term project replacement.
Don't forget Ortega.
I also love Haaland’s contributions , greatly appreciate it!
Haaland did an excellent pass for doku which led to the goal.
Grealish gives us something others don't. Pure ball possession. Its hard to take the ball off him without fouling him
Exactly
Haaland could’ve had 2 assists but I’m sick of city not using haaland’s pace. If he got 3 long passes a game, chances are he’ll score one
True
Just the kind of win needed. Let's now see a run like in 20/21 season
For a non-Haalandesque performance, he actually impressed me soooo much
Hello from USA …. Go city 💪🏼💪🏼
That midfield is still shaky out of possession we need a proper 6
Let's focus on December matches then we will see who comes in during January transfer window.
Absolutely agree. I have counted 5 ball losses (and dangerous ones) in our own half. Gundogan is ready to retire.
Answer could be to sub Gundo out when we hit 50'-60' - He started the game very well but as soon as he got tired he started losing the ball and duels. We have to acknowledge he's way to old to play this much.
Grealish in the 6 who says no
@@MattylovesCiteh It could work.. Imo it's just so impotant to have him a bit further up - maybe as an 8. His ball carrying is next level and really helped us last night.
But imo no idead should be off the table. We still have to improve alot so it could be an idea. Just maybe not against Juve
Agree about Bernardo. This was his best version we have not seen for quite some time. Ball wins, interception, movements...
De bruyne and doku brought some new life to the team
Jury still out on Bernardo has been getting progressively worse for two seasons. Let's see how he goes rest of matches. But Gundo and Walker should be put out to pasture.
He really played good. Hope is start of something good to come
I loved our team yesterday. We still made stupid mistakes that could have lead to goals but I’m absolutely happy after that match. Grealish was a complete baller yesterday.
I’ve been always proud of City’s success!
Grealish could hold down the fort in the midfield even if KDB is injured. Jack does everything in the midfield, Foden is supposed to do.
We did not miss Foden. KDB was the orchestrator magician. Silva, Doku, Grealish & Haaland supporting him.
I'd like to see grealish more and more in that position he's top
So happy to see grealish smile while he played 🎉he did such a job
Difference is no Rodri but that January signing could take us there. KDB & Doku need to start
Grealish played well in midfield … Gvardial looks great going forward and KDB is still King
Grelish in midfield. I love it.
Grealish, Doku and KDB were absolutely fucking brilliant.
We could have easily conceded 2. Thanks to Ortega's save and Wood's miss.

These Rival fans know they are scared of Man City because we have done this before but we got to take it game by game Crystal Palace next come on City
Haaland not getting enough passes in the 18 box. A worry. Foden to come on as a sub to KDB going forward.
I ALWYS KNEW AND FELT THE LOSING STREAK WAS PLANNED 😂😂😂😂😂😂💙💙 .CITIZEN FR LIFE
WE ARE BACK BABY💙💙💙💙💙💙😎😎😎😎
When de Bruyne went off city player said you ok to him and he said “I’m tired” 😂 only him can do that
Glad we finally saw Grealish in midfield
Walker and Lewis are always shaky with balls. Grealish should be kept in the holding midfield.
Super....Super Jack....Super Jackie Grealish! Haven't seen him smile like that in a while. Jack and Kevin with bernado and gundo....was working nice yesterday. Josko is morphing right before our eyes. Erling playing the false 9 playing Josko through. New roles, learning curves. End of this season will be 🔥

6 games to play in all of December. I have said previously when we was in the middle of the losing run. Judge us at the end of December, so much changes.
Suddenly feels good again to be City fan
It's always good to be a city fan
Liverpool don’t just have to lose 3 games, they will more than likely have more draws like last night. We have to play them at home to.
I understand why Gvardiol is being criticised but keep in mind that he's most likely physically and mentally tired from all these starts
Spot on Jonny pal! It’s been 7 years of dominance. No wonder they’re still scared of what we can do
Let’s be honest Bernardo Siva played top class because he was put back in the right side and a certain individual has been stinking it up there for the past 10 games for us. Yes, Phil Foden has 0 goals, 2 shots on target in 10 games for us in PL this szn. He’s been super mid. No wonder why we lost all the games with no attacking prowess other than Haaland.
I agree, if you look at first few flawless games by Manchester City, we did not had Foden. The chemistry was much better.
Before January we could play Jack and Kova as a Double pivot
Jack and Kova yup am having a bit of that getting rid of Gundo it's perfect
City had an excellent game yesterday. It was on fire 🔥
Can’t believe the amount of glazing Ortega gets. It’s like people are blind to his constant mistakes passing out from the back. He is often the direct cause of chances against us because he keeps passing the wrong player or pass them in an awkward position and lazy passes too
This is true. His distribution isn't even close to Ederson, but nobody in the world is. He does save shots alot better than Ederson though. I think the problem is Ederson's mind might be half out of the team already since his summer transfer saga with the Saudi league. Probably thinking about the money. Can't blame him. Already won everything possible with City.
I had a good night last night. A decent City performance and win and discovered The Sleaford Mods first time in my life. Bangin
This title didn’t age well😂
Can you imagine if we were to win this league, it would be peps most impressive achievement, God it would be so special.
We are still loosing balls in dangerous situations. Mid-field, especially its defensive aspect, is barely functional.
They can never be a perfect match,i believe Pep will be fixing our problems as we move
Gundobwas the culprit has been the culprit all season
We finally had a clean sheet. I couldn't be more happier 😊
City. Let's keep this form going till we get a full squad in January.
Signings are needed
The "Without KDB" photo caught me off-guard, priceless😂
Football is football! Anything is possible.right! We city still have enough opportunities to win the five in a row 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
City!!!
if we can not lose for about 6-8 games were in with a shout. May need two excellent signings in January. (RB and CDM Ideally).

any great team has a game changer...KDB is definitely is that player..
Good to hear that 💙💙
My city is come back!!!
good honest vlog tx johnny
Keeping walker and Lewis out of the first team will help.
He will play now as Akanji is injured
The Lewis hate baffles me, the lad is barely 20 and everyone acting like he’s already washed. He needs time and he definitely needs minutes. Walker is definitely way past his prime tho.
@@SebastianDalhedFootball is all about opinions and I don’t think Rico needs minutes, I think he needs a rest. I think the hate is because he’s a bit lightweight, which is unfair. City do lack physicality in midfield. Agree 100% about Walker
attacking wise very fluid but defense was still shaky....fresh legs in midfield are must ...get somene asap in winter window
I love the smell of fear in the morning! BLUEMOON PHIL
Top 4 spot for me this year I wouldn't complain we've had a fantastic few years which I never thought I'd see well not in my lifetime 😂
We are so exposed on counter. Need a proper athletic 6. Fun seeing Grealish run free. Akanji must be the right back.
Everyone’s talking about giving Salah a contract why is no one talking about giving KDB one the stats say it all
I think injuries is the main concern. He may be going to NYC or Inter Miami next year
@@hitendersoni2011 well clearly he still has something in him after recent performances at least give him 1-2 more years

Yeah this result defo cheered me up 😂 Nice one Stephen mate
Ctid💙
Do you read my mind, Johnny? Everything you said was exactly what I thought 😊💙
To be honest I'm not worried I know that we are going to win the league 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ortego in the poles please cause he made amazing saves against Forrest he deserves to be a regular for now ederson concedes a lil easier to be honest
No one’s giving Doku credit
Doc pep is master of the games with the talisman and the entire man city's squad will decide regarding lifting the fifths premier league title in a roll . All the best
Unfortunately with Ake & Akanji they wont fear us for long with Walker, Lewis, Dias & off form Gvardiol as our only fit senior defenders lol😐 ...l like Jackie in the midfield, hope Pep sticks with it
Grealish in midfield all the time will be devastating news for every team
Mate you are becoming Pep❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shaky midfield and still a few sloppy moments; Gvardiol and KDB. Injuries to Akanji and Ake are concerning
Bro mark my word..
City will win the league by ☝️ point
Gvardiol’s concentration is severely lacking. Walker has been poor. Sadly, injuries to Akanji and Ake mean that Gvardiol and Walker will be playing every game for a while.
Silly headline Johnny,we have lost two key defenders after last night , top four if were lucky. Must recruit in January.
The January Transfer window will determine if we winning or not
The reinforcements we getting will determine everything
I think the fear factor is out of the window and gone for this season.
call me crazy but why are no premier league teams attempting to acquire miguel almiron? yeah, he's 30. but his determination reminds me of kdb.
yes KDB had an amazing match, but he is 34.. soon 35. cannot relay on him for the future, and he is injury prone now last year and this year he missed a lot.... Same for Bernardo his legs are old. Walker also.
The "slump" was nothing to worry about as I've said all the way through.

No, they don't fear city. City won against a slumping Forest team. It's going to be rough road for City this year.
Rival fans tears incoming
I'm a Liverpool fan. I'm pissing uncontrollably in my pants at the moment. My third pants actually.
Why bro
Your stats about kdb didnt play in 23/24 season was wrong..we lost the game because rodri missed that match,villa arsenal and wolves away in prem..
Go Blue Moon🔵⚪ from India
He knows what he's talking about he said Cole palmer wasn't good enough 😂
City prank the rest of the league.
