Should we open up the man of the match thread already?

Two more after the interval and get the understudies on.

On commentary they said the PL had given it to Akanji.

I can see what Bournemouth are trying to do. They are trying to mark Kovacic out the game to stop the overload on the left. Unfortunately, that doesn't work when Doku consistently beats his man. Also. their keeper's distribution is truly shocking.

Keep Stones and Rodri fit all season and we win everything again

 

[TrentGrisham]

So Jeremy, do you have a preference on which artist you’d like to make your statue in 9 years time?

As long as it's him doing his celebration then I'll be happy with it.

If teams play 5 at the back to deal with KDB, Alvarez and Doku what are they going to do when KDB is back? 6-2-2?

 

[CTID1988]

Bournemouth need to tighten up at the back or they could lose this

 

[MellowJoe]

We've got the quality and the bounce today.. this could end up 7-0

 

[SWPISHOME]

Erling struggling after that chance, Looks like he went over on his ankle.

Hopefully he's OK.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Do we see a Phillips cameo?

 

[bagger69]

Looks like we are just starting to reach top form

 

[YatesA]

Its mad saying Haaland hasnt been on it this season & then look at his goals ratio, its true though

It's just an illustration of how many good chances we create. I genuinely think Kane would have decimated the record in this city side. 40+ league goals.

Open it and close it to be honest!

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

City are mint

 

[Josh_D]

A goal and 2 assists for Doku.

Lads at the back also look composed.

All ticking nicely.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

BBC reporting that the third goal has gone to Akanji. So Jessa needs two more now for his hat trick

BbC reporting that the third goal has gone to Akanji.
So Manuel needs two more now for his hat trick.

I would take him off, no point taking chances

Very good first half for us. Bernie, Alvarez, Rodri and Doku all excellent. If there is one negative, it’s Kovacic, he’s been poor again.

Let’s play for goal difference In t second half. No need for game management against this lot. Their heads are gone.
