Cracking bit of skill and play from grealish and foden ending with a top goal from Phil ..

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I feel like Camara needs a yellow card, maybe then he'll get the picture

He's a bit clicky.

Now we only need someone to replace Matheus Nunes and this will be 5-0

 

[TrentGrisham]

A bit boring of a half but you've got to give credit to Young Boys. They're very well organized and have good pace and physicality all over the pitch.

Really want Jack to move into the middle full-time next to Bernardo now that Doku's on the left. He's so, so good at finding space, sitting in little pockets, then suddenly springing out of them and slicing the opposition open.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Think it’s more the fact that he hasn’t found his rhythm yet nor that of the team. Don’t think he’s been poor, as when he carries the ball and runs off it he has been penetrating their lines.

I was quite disappointed he missed Stones's run into open space...would have been through on goal.

Looked like he was pontificating a little too long on the ball without being fully aware.

But I do like his ability to ghost a man or two.

Young boys..... swapping shirts..... Foden tucks it inside the goalpost. Marvellous isn't it?

 

[SamBlue]

Our Phil!

 

[drthingy]

That’s Remington on the list

All except City's half.

 

[Chi-town blues]

He's a bit clicky.

His focus is bit off and can’t read the depth of field clearly.

 

[Gabriel]

I’m not sure on his position so far he seems to be sitting a bit to deep

I think Guardiola is rotating Kovacic, Lewis, and Nunes into the deeper position, with Stones also coming up. It means two of the first three appear to drift in and out of the game, but they are constantly pulling their opponents hither and thither.

 

[Blu1]

Foden & haaland off for me no need to risk them.

 

[bluemoon32]

Foden will peak aged 25-32, and the world will tremble before one of his final form, as one of the 5 most complete technical players of all time.

All time? Behave

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

BBC spot on as always

 

[applecentral]

He's a bit clicky.

A big flash too
bit

 

[Kippax77]

I didn't know Morrissey had turned his hand to football management

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

What a goal. Finally Phil's scored one of them, where he's all limbs and silky touches, gliding along the surface and bouncing off defenders. Normally he slams it straight at the keeper or doesn't quite get the shot off but he finally connected this time. Amazing, amazing technique.

He’s so much better with his left.
He doesn’t trust his right foot sometimes.

[Nascent Blues]

Lovely goal
Decent performance First half though you can tell the midfield haven't played too much together.

Exactly. The midfield has a handful of minutes together, so this will do them the world of good.
