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!!!

Never the less a great 1st half

[Curr Avon]

The difference is our ball recovery time. We're turning defence into attack rapidly and creating great chances. We must be more ruthless in the final third though.

[W-S-M Seagull]

Really enjoyable first half.

Here’s a stream for the second half:

Great first half but we need to stay focused. They are bound to attack us hard in the second half. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

That was great.

Our possession has been dropping a bit in the 2nd half is the 1st half but Mehmeti looked good, Pring fantastic to see him on the scoresheet..forced Watford into some mistakes.

Nice and controlled (not in a possession dominant sense), compact and looked dangerous with the ball.

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 

Think that part is very underrated, most would have a wild shot after that kind of run. Look at Sterling against wolves as a good example. 
 

I think the euros might becoming a tad to early but would be 2 if he didn’t make the wc squad in 2026, bar injuries ofc.

Bournemouth fans already resigned to losing him...

Impressive half. Eating some humble pie

What a superb performance against a form team

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 

Watford are a decent side imo - we're making them look average.

[Top Robin]

City just played one of the best halves of football for years and there are some on here gushing over ex players and other teams scores. FFS start separate topics surely?

You don't want him to go up in value then?

Let it go mate. You're obsessed.  

But yes at times we did. 

[Malago]

Can we carry that performance into the 2nd half?

Best football  under Manning.  Momentum building.

For the second, don't think Sykes would have got there at the far post, so very happy for the defender's little contribution.

I like how the "new" manager plays Mehmeti. A very good first half, I was not watching any games in the last 4 weeks, but now I have to say that is one of that first halfs when you are confident. I mean, I don't see City dropping 3 points. The things can only get better after we get back atkinson Mcrowie and we bring one more striker at least.

Penalties, own goals, this is what you need to have the Championship good luck winds blowing in your direction. Excellent, as we have not had any for years. 

Injuries steadily easing up too.

We must be due a lot more to get back to par!

First part 100%. If we see it out today, I agree on the second bit too.

Honestly, sometimes we're going to come up sides who are not on their game, but we really haven't let them play today. Genuinely much more about us today. The press has been almost perfect, the midfield 3 have been amazing, we are outplaying them and not letting them play their game.

There are only certain people that keep mentioning Pearson and that's those that were always anti Pearson. The rest of us have moved on. 

[Alan Dicks]

In Jon Lansdown we trust  

[TheCulturalBomb]

Let's hope we can actually hold this lead for once. Big test this.

You have pressed us very well and been particularly dangerous down our right.

 

You probably should be more than 2 up !

Because he's made a worldy of an assist. Thierry Henry like I would say
