Thrashing injured Stoke is all well and good. And they're being hyped as the best team in Europe right now. The match against Napoli on Tues will be a good test of how far they've come (or not).

Stoke are pretty good yes, but I think the best team in Europe is a bit much.

So far it looks like we’re passing this one

[stuartmmcfc]

This is brilliant football. Could be 4-0.
I don’t think we’ll regret those very close misses.

[stuartmmcfc]

Oh dear

[stuartmmcfc]

Not really

[stuartmmcfc]

Anyone got anything to add?
Over on 'the other two threads it’s like the Messiah has been spotted.
Even though he’s busy wallpapering over some cracks on one of them.
You know who I’m talking about

From the BBC website:-

Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri, when asked if City can win the Champions League this season: "Yes, I think so.

"They are an extraordinary squad. They have tremendous physical, technical and tactical qualities and if they can maintain their physical shape they could go all the way.

"You have to divide the game into first 25 minutes and then the rest of the game. They deserve a lot of credit for how they started the game - their technique, speed and movement were outstanding - but also, we didn't apply enough pressure.

"But credit to the team for coming out of that situation against a team that is destroying everything that is put in front of it."

You have to be wanting to win it this year...with what you have spent and your manager alone surely anything other than winning it he and the owners will see as failure? There is no reason for me why you cant

[jammy-git]

Isn't it the whole reason City spend several years pursuing Pep?

[stuartmmcfc]

I don’t know about winning it, it depends how lucky you are as well as how good you are.
I don’t think the owners see anything less as failure tbh but we are heading in the right direction which can only be a good thing.

[stuartmmcfc]

Just heard Burnley are 28 -1 to win today.
I’m almost tempted to have a £10 on it myself tbh at those odds.

Poor game but once again we still got 3 goals in the net.
Plus Utd lost

Be fair here , it really could have & should have been 7 or 8 ,

De Bruyne really is without doubt the best player in the premier league .

[stuartmmcfc]

That was hard work!
Well done Wolves
Well done Bravo.

[Wacky Racer]

Well done Bravo...should do his confidence a power of good.

All teams need two top class goalkeepers.

Hard luck Wolves, well played.

[stuartmmcfc]

I can see today being tricky.

How have we passed both tests against Napoli?
