    We're doing better than I expected. I still don't want to get my hopes up too much for the second half though.

    Some bloke on Facebook before the game saying "Get Osvaldo out of the club". Hope he feels silly now. Cork and Lovren excellent so far, but Gaza fills me with dread.

    Keep it up boys.

    Osvaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Also, i'm taking a great dislike to Gazzaniga. He's hugging the goal line and is terrified to come out and it's causing us all sorts of problems.


    Other then that, a superb performace all around. I'm proud of the lads.

    Goal of the season from Dani. City need to get a taller goalie, 6 foot 8 just isn't enough.

    Have to say I haven't noticed it being that problematic.

    "it's call us all sorts of problems" - present tense. So I'm not sure that was the point.

    Very pleased with our performance after a shaky start. 61% possession and more shots than City.

    That's the goal we have been lacking...you can't walk them all in.

    He has probably decided not to take the risk, as long as our defenders are doing their thing it's probably ok. No point criticising Gazza for not being an experienced confident GK.

    Anyway, things are better than expected. Our back four and Osvaldo are cheering me up a lot.

    Well it did. For example, that one time Aguero or Negredo, can't really recall who, failed the control the ball in a clear goalscoring opportunity, and Gazzaniga did nothing but observed, he should be there under his feet.

    If the goalie lacks confidence it is best that he stays on the line. He may even be under instructions....Gazza stays on the line and defence does the rest.

    Just seen Dani's goal. As good as any from Suarez or Aguero. Just one more like that will do nicely.

    Exactly, better he plays conservatively until he gets settled. The last thing the defence wants is an unfamiliar keeper rushing off his line all the time.

    Chambers looks every bit the converted winger...quite dangerous going forward today.

    Have to say that Chambers is such an impressive stand-in for Clyne.
