We could deffo nick this one.

Although I fully expect Pellegrini to make a few changes (eg Negredo) and knock 3 or 4 past us.

Are we playing 19th century football or being tactically superb?

We're defending superbly.

We just don't have the outlet with Bowery up front.

I'd love, love to see Grealish come on. Fuck Bowery off, play Weimann up top on his own, stick the scrawny little Villa kid in the middle.

Fireworks would occur.

I like this plan.

It's mental that they have those kind of options on the bench.

Then grealish for KEA or Weimann

I've just realized if Norwich don't beat Arsenal on Sunday then we were safe after the Chelsea game and I've been shitting myself for 7 weeks for no reason.

Proud of that solid first half dispay. But Bowery seemed to be rattled by two early blows to the nose/head v Kompany. Tricky to man up, when you're named after a topless model?

Like Astral Weeks I know nothing about Grealish - is he a real prospect?

He glides across the ground like Michael Jackson.

Spent all season on loan at Notts County.  Looked far to good to be in league 1, although just how good he is remains to be seen.

He's a tricky winger type of player.
