A win like this every now and then is so important. Feels sooooo goood.

I have been critizicing him a little, but I have to say it was a very good game from big Ron today.

It will be a volatile ride watching Luna this season. He can be brilliant at times and then the worst left back ever. But I agree with the sentiment here: something about this guy makes you like him. And I think it's his heart. He gives his everything and loves doing it. I believe in him, he will be a very good defender one day.

Thought Luna was great. Atleast on the second half his speed was needed against Nasri and Navas. Don't remember anything about the first half.

Why in this game then?

Andiiiiiiiiii

Bacuna! How bad is he now???????

Why are you guys on Bacuna's case so much? He's not been any worse than our other "players".

I can't believe some here think it's ok to play like this just because it's Man City. Can't understand that thinking. We might just forfeit then. Just put up a fight guys. Don't play scared. Try to create something.

Ok, that's it then.

Well done Milner!

Thread looks overly pessimistic. I would play the team Outbyeaster suggests, maybe put Bennet in for Luna. City will attack, that should play to our strenghts. We're definitely not favourites, but I think we have an outside chance. It's not going to be pretty though.

Don't care about Europe. The money would be ok though.

Hope for Bennett to be in. And Sylla.

Wrote him off a month ago. Copy here what KSV said.

Well done for proving my point. What we're doing currently is taking small risks and trying out inexpensive players in the hopes that some of them will come through fine. I would think that means unusually few of these players will actually make it. To me Tonev is an epitome of a project like this. And my opinion is that he will fail. On the other hand I agree with you that our crowd isn't always behind our players in home matches which infuriates me. So you've already written him off? But then you say our crowd doesn't get behind the players which annoys you? Erm take a look in the mirror. I know what you're saying, but outside of this board, where I express an opinion, I don't express my displeasure. Well, except for in the heat of the moment, ofcourse.

Czechlad knows what he is talking about.

Not this one.

Lambert shouldn't be mad at him at all. This is what he bought in Tonev.

I'm more at ease with Bacuna as RB than Lowton at the moment. Let him continue as starter.

Left back?

Mostly agree Steve. We put more weigh on defense thereafter though, that probably had an effect.

Like him but...

Because of our lack of clean sheets, I haven't appreciated Brad as much as most here. That changed today.
