Bah, first time this season we haven't scored 3 or more in a home league game. Emery out.

That was just fucking awesome in every way.

I've never seen a team work so hard. They must all be absolutely knackered after that.

I love every one of em.

Emi-10. That double save just different class
Konsa 10 Magnificent again
Carlos 10. Few outmuscle Haaland. Ever. He did.
Torres. 10. So calm and assured.
Digne. 10. So solid again. 
Kamara. 10. Won so many battles.
Dougie. 10. Rolls Royce of our team.
SJM 11. Out of this world tonight.
Telemans 10. Best game for us yet 
Bailey. 12. Motm and unplayable. Deserved the goal
Watkins. 10. Work rate as usual.

Subs
Duran 10. Good touches when he came on
JJ 10. Because he’s JJ
Diaby 10. Helped close the game out

Manager 15.  Different class this man.

Wasn't even nervy towards the end, you just knew we'd see it out, it's what we do now.  Fucking glorious, roll on Saturday.

I thought that Emery picked the wrong team and was late making subs. But he seems to always know exactly what we need.

It’s been said before but echoes of 89-90 when we beat Man Ure Boxing Day and Arsenal a few days later, great days.

Tarquins should be shitting it.

What a game, what a team. It was weird, it was the first game in years that both by buttocks weren't fused together for the last ten minutes. We are back! Proper manager. Great club. It's a very long time since we've had a good man at the helm.

Loved Emi as he walked down the tunnel at the end: "At last a clean sheet!"

Absolutely superb and I bet we see a different line up against Arsenal. Unai is exceptional.

The Ref also deserves a special mention, no bias and no contentious decisions - including the time added on.

Eddie Large...the Gallagher twats...
Bernard Manning...

About 600 million students at my university...young people here love Man City. ******

For now they do….

I will put them through turmoil today.

They'll have to redefine the meaning of power harassment in Japan 😂
