That’s a disgusting stat. Sounds made up - incredible. I’ll be using that one at the pub!

He’s a goal freak.

I’ve been waiting for a thread where this is relevant; but the full backs are delivering such little quality into the box. They get into positions well more often than not, and both work really hard no doubt. And there are games/moment where this improves, Dasilva against Huddersfield springs to mind. But the quality is so often lacking. I’ve no idea how Pring isn’t challenging Dasilva for that spot, he’s a real talent!

Not a bad one to miss mate. Eyesore at times!

Absolutely. Our bad decisions don’t even out so can only help us surely.

We’ve had some shoddy defensive performances this year but we dropped the already low bar today. A really weird game where we were always one pass away from imminent danger. Add in our missed chances and a typical refereeing performance and it wasn’t our day - at all. Injured: Kalas James Benarous Building fitness: Bajic Klose Also worth mentioning, Conway took a nasty hit but didn’t come straight off so we’ll see. Also, is Scott suspended for 5 yellows? Still more good than bad this season. Let’s back them for the 3 points on Tuesday.

You can just grab one for free in most newsagents. Mine is underway. No City players in this iteration, we’ve had representation of late with the likes of Nagy and Magnússon but Semenyo didn’t make the Ghana page so we’re not in

True. If he never wins an FA Trophy, his career will always have an asterisk next to it. It’s why I don’t rate Messi.

Yea he was always unlikely to go and play National League though, they never would've been able to pay his wages for starters plus no Champions League football.

Pretty sure they have an injury list longer than the Nile, so maybe a bit harsh. But Hull struggling only ever makes me happy so long may it continue.

I've always really liked watching Haaland play and would watch Dortmund periodically for that reason, so I'm over the moon he's in the Prem now (albeit I'd have preferred him at a slightly more historic club). I've known for a while his goalscoring exploits are pretty special, but reading this really puts into perspective what he's doing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62825097 I wonder if we're seeing the formative years of a player who in 15 years time we'll be calling the greatest goalscorer ever. With his pace, power, finishing and game intelligence already this good at 22, maybe even the greatest player ever...

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere. A journalist named Alan Biggs has made the link after Warne left for Derby. Rotherham are currently above us in the Championship so it'll be a big challenge to maintain that form with their squad. It'd certainly be interesting though to see his second attempt at this level. I liked Dean, hope he does well if offered the role (without negatively impacting our cruise to the play-offs of course).

That was very encouraging. Really enjoyable game, and a bit of optimism going into the WC. (that’s World Cup not loo).

If he wants a L1 relegation on his CV, he may as well do it at FGR where he's revered! Barton in

Couldn't write it could you.

Tuchel, Benitez or Poch please ? we’ve been poor. I wonder if our last two tournaments have been good despite Gareth. Not often City have a better manager than England. Pretty cool really.

Arggghhhhhhhhhhhh

Good spot Nev. I’d missed that.

Yea always a fun derby to watch. Two nice Real goals and some fiery moments too - could boil over later. Some Atleti fans have been racially abusing Vini Jr. tonight and of late. Hoping he scores and dances in front of them. Top young player being subjected to vile nonsense.

Game on. QPR then Cov for us after the internationals, take a point against Gers at the gate and do Cov and we’ll stay in the mixer.

Me and my dad were immediately head in hands, saying ‘yellow, yellow, yellow’ in hope ?

Impressive call at HT. You’re in Nige’s head. I struggle to ever want to see Scott off the pitch, though that yellow had slipped my mind (it was a darker yellow too). Yea it’s not always obvious the status of each player. I just like to keep record for myself and figured I’d do it here so people could look at a glance. Some guesswork but hopefully with my shiny new category it’ll be slightly clearer. Onto the bloody Nations League now, wish I could hibernate for a fortnight.

I mean it’s really disappointing to lose two in a row after 8 unbeaten… but horrid fixtures to face back to back and we’re still top-half. Hopefully we can push on in the league after the break. And win the League Cup. Gonna do something slightly different from now as some players play for the unders before reappearing for the firsts. Injured: Kalas Benarous Building fitness: Bajic Klose Couple of close calls today. Conway and Scott off at HT surprised me (Conway clashed with the keeper about 2 mins before HT) and Williams almost hurt himself with a weird fall. But we’ll wait and see.

Nothing new to report from the lineup today. Kane Wilson remains a mystery, you heard any whispers @Davefevs?

You don’t think Klose would be on the bench if fully fit? That’s why I think he might’ve aggravated or something. No new injuries I saw tonight is a plus, think all changes were just about chasing more goals. I really think we can do something special this season, but my god, the team need to sharpen up defensively.
