That was coming.
That was coming.
that guy has a goal-ratio that now borders insane
I'm an idiot for not finding this thread earlier. This is literally a minute's walk from my house ffs!
2-2 ft.
United didn't really get what they deserved from an excellent team performance. City could have nicked it at the end though.

He's becoming pretty important to the side as he provides some much needed width and thrust down the flanks when we are playing without wingers. He's really come on of late.
Tunnicliffe was outstanding today too, drove the side on constantly. I think he was booked after the whistle, but it was hard to tell.
How is Michael defensively?
I am sure I can do worse if I try
City's site amusingly reckons they dominated the game after Cofie's goal and that we just about hung on for a deserved draw
They also say Thorpe got booked - I don't remember that, unless it was him who got booked after the final whistle.

On another day we would have won by 4/5 goals. If it wasn't for Frankie jnr they had nothing to worry us at the back. It was the most ordinary City side I've seen in a while at that level.
Good to meet you btw.

Likewise. Pretty sure the guy who wrote the City match report didn't even watch the game, judging by some of his descriptions.
No change at the top following yesterdays games - I still haven't got the result from Wolves vs Bolton - but Liverpool lost to Stoke, and Blackburn destroyed Everton 3-0
so Bolton will still be top regardless - Everton 2nd - us and City shared 3rd and Liverpool 5th.
Bunn has now scored 9 goals in 6 games - and has scored 9 of City's 15 goals. Those are impressing stats

A correction - it was Thorpe who squared the ball for Pogba's goal. McGinty with the assist for Cofie's goal.
The lad who set up Bunn's first for City was Alex Henshall who is quite highly rated and they won a battle for in the summmer BBC Sport - Football - Swindon Town's Alex Henshall to join Manchester City and who we were linked to https://www.redcafe.net/f40/alex-henshall-266461/

Girish, if you were a carpenter and I was a lady, I would marry you anyway, I would have your baby.
Well I am in the market for a new caf husband..
It's like cheating letting Pogba play in academy games.
Pogba's very composed which is great, has a good touch, a great strike. But he needs to work on his defensive skills. He's not very mobile and isn't much of a help in a midfield two. Should up the effort.
I've been impressed by his defensive work.
I think Pogba's loping gait is a little deceptive in terms of pace.
He's pretty solid defensively, the main area he has to work on is his temperament as he gets distracted in games and loses concentration if he feels he's been wronged.

Yeah, good observation.
Anderson suffers from the same affliction.

Is it possible that he makes the step up to the Reserves anytime soon?
I think he will do in around a months time once he is back to fuill fitness. However, I don't think that he would getting a starting place as Corry Evans and Eikrem are almost guaranteed CM positions at the moment.
Did you see his matches for France earlier this year?As for the lack of effort ive never been left with that impression watching him
