Matip has been better. VVD changing them this season is a lazy cliche.

Yeah, I agree.
Do City fans sing any others songs apart from about us?
It is ridiculous how good they are on the ball 
They're almost like a min maxed video game character. All attribute points to technique, intelligence drop everything else to 0.

Grealish looks like a fish outa water in this City side, they are all so crisp and clean in their play whereas he just bumbles about.
87 % possession from City
It's crazy. They have made almost 4 times as many passes as Watford.It is ridiculous how good they are on the ball

He is literally the best portuguese player right now, zero doubs about it.
Yeah this isn't true, he's not the player he was pre injury.
87 % possession from City
Robotic team carefully executing Pep's coding instructions. No bad controls, never a misplaced pass, everything is precise and accurate to the millimeter.
Maybe he isn't, but he does make a huge difference as any top player would
I find it so dull. It's extremely effective, but 25 passes before they even attempt to penetrate the backline is not interesting to me.
Yeah .. I guess Watford are to blame for that one. They tried to press briefly, were sliced apart and now they've just given up.
Ranieri must be close to getting sacked
Every Watford manager is close to getting the sack.
If they hold out a little longer they might get Rafa
Very true.
Good luck to any team trying to challange them for the title.. tbh my opinion is its nailed on for City but lets wait and see as people say.. Liverpool's attack has a higher ceiling than City's but their squad dept is not that great and will cost them in some games.. Tuchel is working hard to turn Chelsea into the same kind of robotic machine of a team like City but for now is lacking some flair..

I'm not watching, but, as a neutral, this type of football is always boring to watch, but I'd absolutely love it if we played this way.
That's how they control the game. And they can up the tempo and put in incisive passes anytime they want because they have the players for an eye for pass (and movement) but most importantly they can execute said pass.
As I said, it's extremely effective, but that doesn't make it any less dull.
It's also 2-0 and your opponents barely want to come out of their defensive shape and put pressure on the ball. Sure you could go for the jugular and get a 5 / 6-0 scoreline but is it worth it?
Looks like after 10 attempts City are finally going to get our first ever win vs Claudio Ranieri after 8 losses and a draw. We've got your number now tinkerman (hopefully, please don't come back)
The City and Liverpool midfield and fullbacks are in another league to ours on the ball.
Whats the alternative, try a pass thats not on. Wait till Watford decide to stop playing a back 9. I've said it before but City can only play the opposition. When games turn farcical its on the team who are losing and show zero intent. For Watford its a choice of whether to press to try and get something back and potentially lose 8-0 or sit in and make City wait for chances. Games like this are always dictated by the opposition and not City. City aren't going to hoof the ball into the box when nothing is one to make the game more exciting. The comparisons in Watford and the heart Villa showed during the week dictate the games
Look at Villa last game.
Gundogan is such a classy player rarely makes a bad pass..
Exactly dude. Villa made that game entertaining and Watford are making this one shite.
Another walk in the park for Abu Dhabi Athletic
What are they singing about Man Utd? The twats?
It's weird that teams like Liverpool don't need to do this. Nor did we in our pomp, or Madrid, or Bayern. You can pretend it's all on Watford if you like.
Look if you find this sort of football entertaining then good for you. I don't. I find it a bore.
Great job, beautiful wife but still obsessed with the high school bully
If Bernardo manages to stay in top form throughout the season, everyone else will find it very difficult to match City's level.
Of course its on them, City are the top goal scorers like 5 seasons in a row, scoring over 150 goals in all comps every season bar last. Also teams didn't park the bus to the same level 10-15 years ago nor have near the defensive tactical nous.
But yeah for sure we should score less and hoof the ball in the box to make games more competitive to appease the masses.
feck off
Nice finish
No Matip hasn’t. VVD granted didn’t have the best of games although we sometimes pick out the littlest of mistakes with great players. Overall has been the best defender on the team as expected.
Beautiful
What a fecking goal
He’s taking the baton from Gundogan from last season.
