De Bruyne is simply world class.

First half possession stats is 82% for Man City. Pep Lambert would approve of this.

18% possession for Newcastle. Bruce would approve of that 8)

Visited a friend in Newcastle last night and he had a spare ticket so I went to the game with him.  Quite refreshing to go as a neutral and was interested to see what Man City were like.  The thought did flash through my mind on a few occasions just what their movement would do to the likes of Whelan if we did go up and seeing Newcastle set up ten yards inside their own half got me thinking what exactly Bruce would be like against those kind of teams.

Went to Man City v Bournemouth and I had the exact same thoughts, frightening to think what they would do to Villa, the goalkeeper is a better passer of the ball than anybody in our squad. The really frightening thing is that they made it look so effortless and could have stepped it up a gear or two if they wanted.

It aint too long ago that we turned City over at our place. Where did it all go wrong?

Now down to 9th with Preston winning at Cardiff, but the upside is that the second spot is only 6 points away if we win tomorrow

Highlights how much these next two games are 6 pointers. Win them both and we could be 3 behind Bristol city. Lose them both and the gap could be 15

Wolves down to ten men.  We need them to get a result here.
