Man City

The first half was everything I feared. The second was everything I hoped. Call me an optimist, but I’m choosing hope. In the 15 minutes or so we were on top, we were well on top and enough chances were created to win the game, let alone fight back into contention. Podence was suddenly a […]

I think the less said about last night the better. We’ve taken giant strides under Nuno, but it’s repeatedly obvious that attempting to break down a side content to defend and get men behind the ball exposes a weakness in the system.

The only disappointment was that Wolves were never in the game. If I’m honest, I think we’re out of this one before it’s […]
