    Another 45 minutes of Fraser not having a save to make. For me, the lack of shots on target we have conceded this season is easiest the biggest tick on Puel's book (best in the league).

    Excellent half, to restrict city to no clear changes is fantastic

    They'll be a different side in the 2nd half. Perfect first 45 though...

    City will give away more chances. We have to take one of them if we want to win.

    Markus certainly shined over us that half.

    This is the first time City have not had a shot on target in the first half under the management of Pep Guardiola - that's the first time in 15 games!

    Wow! That's a very good stat from our point of view.

    I thought it was composed finish by Redmond... some would even say a strikers finish!

    Well, turns out we're a pretty good little team eh?

    Had the absolute fear Clasie was going to get a second yellow when Sterling broke at the end of the half, but haven't been terrified as yet. Sane going for the record for the most nutmegs of McQueen in one game.

    Think we've been excellent, and Clattenburg has refereed the game very well.

    A bit different tactical approach, we're playing a 4-3-3 with Austin trough the middle

    Cracking finish. Could easily have skewed that wide.

    Man City is actually moving the ball well and enjoying most of possession. Not really threatening, but they can wear us out by making us chase and eventually open up a gap.

    Hopefully their stupid fans keep booing them and making them take bad shots. They are starting to get impatient and frustrated and that plays right into our hands.

    Puel is winning this game for us tactically. Completely outfoxing Pep. So far.

    I've never had a beef against him. He's a very good ref.

    Claude looking to get round the sides of that back three and then whip the ball across, which makes sense.

    We've played it perfectly - so far.
