Sorry to bring up the possible red card thing again, but i've just remembered all of the Brentford players going over to the ref and drawing little 'VAR boxes' in the air with their fingers, asking for a review, then being waved away by the ref. Made me laugh. Footballers, never change.

maybe a bit early to ask - but anything on Bobb? shame for him, he was nailed on for FA Cup and hopefully league cup 1st leg.

i thought ~42k (or whatever it was) was quite good! Maybe i'm living in the past. I remember not so long ago, ~2005 season, that we played Scunthorpe in the FA Cup 3rd round and there was about 23k (?) or so. A couple of seasons later we played someone like Sheff Weds in front of about 26k...

I like Trafford. I also like Donnarumma. I understand why the club went for the latter, but i feel for the former.

Did well, needs to grow into it now.

looked like he tweaked a hammy when taking his slightly shanked shot to the near post. Hopefully nothing serious.

I think Reijnders is being molded into the unexciting glue of the front 5. He is the Dark Matter of the team, the presence no-one sees. Little passes, constant link up, always available etc. I am not sure he is doing it particularly well at the moment, but i can see a need for an advanced player...

From where i was sat vs Brentford, there looked to be about .... 42k? decent turnout. The atmosphere was a little relaxed, but there was a constant noise from South Stand, I thought it was better than some league games actually. Brentford fans were quiet, though their team didnt give em much to...

I enjoyed the match, i thought it was a good run out for the squad and they did the job well. Lots of nice interplay, good minutes for many, and i thought it felt quite realxed. I had a feeling Foden would be a rare subbed-on and subbed-off situtation. Khusanov red? i felt the attacker had...

Which part of the stadium is he sat in?

see how he goes, he got 36 goals in 33 starts a few years back, now he is 17 goals in 16 starts. Very similar.

One team took their chances, the other didn't (or was offside). Great away performance and win.

He's a Benfica boy for sure, you can't take the boyhood club out of a player, but he knows exactly the importance of what he's achieved at City, no doubt a blue through and through
