Can we make a sub and bring Windy on so we can finally see all 5 foreigners on the field at the same time.

A black hole would collapse and the Earth would be consumed if that ever happened.

I must be crazy. Why is the free kick inside the box? 

6 second (or whatever it is) rule. Keeper must get rid off it before thst. Never followed never enforced 

[haz]

I need to swap Noone for Cabrera in my fantasy team.

[Mr MO]

Cabrera MoM full stop.

Absolutely smashing it isn’t he.

[Bannon]

fuck we have played some nice football, defense still a bit lacking but that does not matter when your banging em in.

[Harrison]

Sublime touch from Berenguer. Class.

Our whole game plan should be aimed at exploiting the right wing, they've been playing Koutroumbis out of position there all season and he's regularly exploited.

Green line plz

Yep. We needed to show this against Perth, not just against the second bottom side.

[Tommykins]

I'm not intentionally hyperbolic but I genuinely can't remember a game where our keeper has held so many.

He’s done well they stick well on his glovers.

[haz]

Another hammy

[mus-28]

FFS, now we'll never get to see 5 foreigners on the pitch. Fold the club

[Shahanga]

Wouldn’t mind another sub. Get some fresh legs on. Either wales or metcalfe.

[Mr MO]

Noone and Luna are cooked

Luna looked buggered at HT. Surprised he’s been able to run out the 90. 

[haz]

Wales still shit

[Tommykins]

Jesus christ Wales. 

Where in the fuck did that come from Atkinson. 

[haz]

We could have scored another three goals

I'm glad they are making him run out 90 when it's a game that's over. He will gain more out of that than playing his 70 every week

[HEARTinator]

Glover has been quite the gloveman tonight

No doubt good for his conditioning. 

[Tommykins]

Luna a touch further forward seems to be the creative player we need. 

[kingofhearts]

What a fucking win!

Credit to the Uruguayans they were fantastic tonight, cabreras best game for the club so far.

Should smash the mongs next week

[hyperfuzz]

satisfying

[Deluka]

Great game and great to get that next clean sheet!

You mean a Star would collapse and form a black hole right?

I can see it now, Glover will be good today. Possibly keep a clean sheet, but next week in the Derby he will fuck it all up. And it will bite us on the ass then 

It’s coming home 😎

[Shahanga]

What a win that was.

Some champagne football and that first goal, what a ball, then a classy finish (not that there was anything wrong with the other goals)

[belaguttman]

I spent last Friday night's game, unconscious and intubated, in ICU after an elective heart valve replacement. It sounds like I was the happiest City fan in town at the time. Today has boosted by recovery.

Positives:

We won, and with a clean sheet

a good reaction after last week, and we won away

Glover, commanded his box, always looked confident, and I wasn't used to feeding calm if the ball was approaching the box.

A very well balanced performance, no weak links, a definite game plan where every player understood their role.

Both Uruguayans performed well and showed what CFG saw in the them just need to stay at this level every week

Genreau, very good

 

Negatives:

We should have converted more opportunities

Just watched the highlights, wow that looked impressive. Cabrera and Luna go bang, great to see. Now tear Victory a new one next week!

[xXCiTyZeNXx]

I criticised Florin last season but I gotta say, tonight he opened up the midfield when he came on which creates attacking opportunities. He is not a number 10 by any means and that belongs to Luna but he is a central midfielder and I feel as though we missed him to be honest.

 

We just have to wait and see but I would like to see all three Luna (att mid), Florin (central) and Brilliante all starting to he if we can create even better results against Victory and Sydney.

Way too many positive posts in this thread, I worry the forum may collapse due to the lack of negativity.

Describing it as 'well' may be a hopeful exaggeration at this stage, but home from hospital and on the road to recovery. I've gone from an Aloisi level heart valve to a Mombaerts level of cardiac performance by the time I fully recover. My goal is to walk to a home game this season

Good to hear that you're going alright mate. Being home is a huge step forward. I'm sure that everyone on here wishes you all the best for a full recovery. As fans we should also be friends.

Glover starts on Saturday or we riot

[jw1739]

Just looking at the "mini-match" again - some  delightful football played by City and Newcastle not so bad going forward either.

Tom Glover had a great debut.

Cabrera grabbed at his before coming off. Watch the last three minutes before he's subbed.
