it's a pen for me. Been very lucky there, in my opinion.

Cracking game though. Still not convinced with Trent in midfield from a team perspective. we're just playing without a right back, so I'm sure many will argue nothing has changed! I believe that is our first win in the league in that ridiculous white kit this season too.

The inverted right back is very dodgy - when he gets on the ball and creates it looks good but it really does need a strong quick CB and without Konate there was a big gap. But with the ball at his feet TAA was superb - not sure how they move forward with it



In other news Haaland breaks Salahs record and that’s prob the title done

Oh look! @Aztecs27 is talking about Forest injuries... AGAIN!

I mean, it looks like Neco Williams has got a broken jaw

BT sport would have been better getting Cheryl Cole than those two - they make McManaman seem knowledgeable

City never got out of second gear and coasted that easily. Arsenal were too afraid and powder puff. I thought Ramsdale could have done better with three of those goals but did deny Haaland several times.

Massive game for Rotherham Utd tonight on Sky - the re-arranged match against Cardiff that was abandoned due to rain previously. Both teams on equal points and a win for either would leave them 6 points clear of the drop zone with 2 games left to play. Both teams have a better GD than the teams below so could be a cracking game (or a bore fest with neither team wanting to lose)

The single most over rated goalkeeper in the prem.

Great personality, great guy, passionate but really not as good as everyone makes out.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - take a bow lad.

I really hope KDB stays in the prem for the majority of the rest of his career.

He will go down as one of the best of all time, he's an absolute monster of a player.

Every time we reach a tournament I hear the calls for him to replace Pickford, still waiting for him to make a mess in an England shirt by the way and having another strong season in a poor team. Ramsdale is a good keeper and will hopefully get better but he is not there yet.

The last one looked a bit soft, but the game was gone by then.
He literally kept them in it for large periods of the game.
I think keepers are best judged by watching them in the flesh through a season - the subtleties of the position are hard to appreciate on the telly.

Yes he is a joy to watch, what a player.

Whilst he did make some great saves - the first goal was poor keeping (and defending it must be said)

I'm not having that, it was taken early and curled in from 2ft outside the post with pace.

What you are forgetting is forum members, as well as hitting drives 350 yards+ and can get round as a fourball in under 3 hours, they are experts in many other things

I mean its just my opinion mate.

I'm not saying my nan could have saved it... She's got bad knees

Odd thing is he was struggling by his standards 3 months ago.

He is a truely generational world class player - prob would have been top of the tree in any era of the game.

Prob Citys best and most important player.

Glides along the playing surface and appears to find it very easy.

Yeah that saga was all a bit weird, never really thought he was playing badly but as you say - his own high standards are insane.

He's got his head down, don't the work and now back in fine form - in perfect time for your end of season push too.

Am not gonna lie I never saw the turnaround coming. City have hit a rich vein of form and look as good as I have ever seen a City team. Yet at the same time Arsenal have fell off a cliff and no one saw that coming. It’s now City’s to lose but it was Arsenals to lose. Don’t think the title is done yet.
