Possible Talking Points

  • Starting to get a good run of form going - 4 wins on the bounce in the PL and a reat opportunity to make it 5 against Middlesbrough. Should continue to make ground on Top 4 if we do so

  • Pogba was fantastic again and it seems other people are starting to recognise this now which should mean he won't get as much flak

  • Zlatan didn't have a fantastic game but then suddenly turned it on and scored a nicely finished goal and put in a wonderful cross for...

  • ...Mkhi's amazing goal. Offside schmoffside, it was an incredible goal and should go down as such

  • What were your thoughts on the game?

  • Who should start against Middlesbrough?

What I love most about this season is that, despite the draws, we're completely dominating games at home. We're having 20 or more shots against the weaker teams and hitting double fits in terms of shots against the bigger teams. As Mkhi, Pog and Ibra hit their strides, this should turn into a greater goal difference in the coming month or two.

Thought Martial was pretty good when he came on. Hope he can get a decent run in the side.

Mikhi's goal was great but Blind's goal was also great. Started on the opposite side of the field with a throw in, 13 passes later it was on the other side with our LB drilling it home in the bottom corner.

I'm just happy to have a solid squad that's playing entertaining football

Ibra, Mkhi and Pogba aside; the most positive thing for me by far was Blind scoring a quality goal. Like, the former three you expect to produce the quality but to be champions you need a few from the more defensive minded midfielders and defenders too and that usually doesn't happen until the mentality of the team has changed so much that the self-belief of the leaders has trickled down the ranks.

So for me personally that's massive. Add to that Mkhi's outrageous goal and Jesse's sublime assist the match before that, and the signs are there that the team is finally starting to become greater than the sum of its parts.

Mkhi 3 goals in 3 games.

Unbeaten in 11. WDWDWDWWWWW

Zlatan's 17th goal of the season, same as top scorer Martial last season.

City play Liverpool at the weekend.

Next 2 fixtures very winnable on paper.

We have this unpleasant knack of conceding goals from rejected bin-dippers. Hope we put an end to that. I feel for big Dave, if he is to rightfully get his golden glove we have to do something about conceding a goal or two even when winning the game comfortably.

Mkhi should have earned himself the right to be one of the first few names on the teamsheet when fit, we looked so much more threatening once he came on. That being said, boxing day football was a treat.

We've played well but we haven't been able to get the results we ought to but now we seem to churning out the much needed wins. The team looks like it's beginning to click. Let's take it one match at a time but the Middlesborough game should be very much doable if we continue to play like we have in the past few games.

I wish Herrera would get forward a touch more.
