You don’t care, but others might appreciate how he’s getting on. Dont like it, then ignore. Simples. Excellent FH at Watford mind 7 1 Quote Link to comment
winsaw Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Very enjoyable match so far, would say that's the best 45 minutes from us since the management change , we are looking a very good attacking side so far today Quote Link to comment
ralphindevon Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 What a half! Things are getting serious. Quote Link to comment

CardiffRed Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Absolutely dominating a very good championship side - win/lose/draw we can see exactly what Manning is trying to do, working wonders with a squad full of players who aren’t his signings. what a job he is doing, waited a long time for quality football like this. 7 1 Quote Link to comment
Tim Monaghan Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 I’m sorry, I don’t care what anyone says, but Pearson didn’t get the same group of players playing like that. What a beautiful first half!!! 6 2 Quote Link to comment

cidercity1987 Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 What odds for Scott in the Euros squad? That is a fantastic assist, to even pass the ball after the end of that run is the sign of a brilliant player 1 Quote Link to comment

Atyeo's lift Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Superb first half. Winning possession time after time when we shouldn't - Watford being very sloppy at times and City just on song. 1 Quote Link to comment
Silvio Dante Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 My third favourite goal of the day. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
BCFC Rich Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 That half was fantastic. The one criticism I would have is not being decisive enough when we had some really good opportunities - Plenty of good attacking build up then didn't result in shots on goal/chances created when they should have. The goal just before half time takes away the nagging feeling of "should of made more of that while we had the chance.." I really, really, really good performance - stopping short of saying a complete performance because of the above. Great stuff! COYR! 3 Quote Link to comment
marcofisher Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Best half of football under Manning. Back 4 have been immense. Pring gets all the plaudits due to his physicality, but Tanner, criminally underrated by some, has also been outstanding defensively and makes us so hard to beat. TGH needs to be signed up immediately. He is everywhere. James is a class act but I think with the style of football LM wants to play, the mobility of this midfield 3 is the best fit we have. Mehmeti looking confident again and it’s now exciting to see him on the ball. Conway is getting in some good spaces, needs to work on his link up play a little as has been a bit wasteful, but that will come! Watching this on a beach in Jamaica and so glad I am… COYR!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Boston Red Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 We were killing them down the left in that first half with Mehmeti, Pring, and Conway. Quote Link to comment
BCFC31 Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) I dont want to speak to soon but watford look a poor side trying to play out from the back but they don't have the players to do it by the looks of it. Been watching city way to long now though to get carried away even if we are 2 up Edited December 26, 2023 by BCFC31 1 Quote Link to comment
Jerseybean Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 First half reflections Not wishing to speak too soon, but that first half was one of the most complete City performances I’ve seen this season, in fact, for a long time. If we had shown a little more composure in and around their penalty area, we could’ve been ahead by more. As per my opening words, let’s hope we can keep this going and continue to take the game to them. I would hate for us to sit back and defend a two-nil lead. So far we have made them look very ordinary. Let’s carry on doing that for the remainder of this game. The City fans have been a great credit and really seem to be enjoying themselves. 9 Quote Link to comment
