Really strong lineup from City tonight.

Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Mangala, Kolarov; Toure, Fernandinho, Navas; Silva, Sterling, Bony .

and aguero on the bench

Past 5 PL winners began their season on Monday Night Football.

Man i hate stats like that, when there not in our favor. Lol

Congrats to West Brom!

Why are the City shirts so baggy? Looks like every player is a kid wearing their dads kit.

And the white tips of the sleeves ruin the shirt.

[zolayes 14,489]

a little lucky but Brom dont even look like attacking

[Pizy 17,860]

Effortless domination here.

City did what we dont do, just SHOOT!!!

[lucio 5,371]

Hope wb go down. Horrible little club , that bring nothing to the league.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

City look excellent. Scary thing is this is them without Aguero & De Bruyne.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

OH MY GODDDD WHAT A PLAYER

[Pizy 17,860]

City look excellent. Scary thing is this is them without Aguero & De Bruyne.

I really wish we could play like this in the final third. Arsenal do it too. Players instantly form triangles and are in constant motion looking for angles and quick, short passes that defenders can't keep up with. Our players often times just stand around and watch the player with the ball. They aren't even really giving the opposition a chance by dominating the ball so much.

And like you say, this is without the league's best striker and De Bruyne to come in.

Oh, now 0-2 as I type.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Imagine thinking Yaya Toure is a liability. Best midfielder in the League.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

Toure back?

[Jase 43,479]

West Brom barely putting up any effort here, almost standing off City. Just watch them play the game of their lives against us next weekend.

We played like this in the first half of last season but we've been terrible ever since Spurs hammered us on New Years, Swansea away the only exception.

[zolayes 14,489]

30 minutes and game over

[Gilvorak 3,734]

West Brom will go down this season imo. Pulis is the most limited manager in the League.

So frustrating.

I think having a proper, creative #10 like Silva would be huge of course. We don't have that wizard in the hole that can dictate the game. Cesc was doing it in the first half of last season but is woefully out of form now.

And they are going for another in De Bruyne.
