Great performance. Contrarian tonight but gave it to Akanji as he was outstanding in a new position.

Seems bizarre for a club with City’s focus on professionalism that we are starting a preseason with no names assistants for our manager. Seems a bigger deal than it’s being treated as.

Agree with this. He’s normally quite harmless but offers nothing in terms of any tactical insight.

Dias, Stones and Eddie. Went for Ruben in the end - our season changed when he came back into the team and he was equally immense tonight

All of them excellent. I went for Stones. Created the extra man that freed up the other lads. Madrid didn’t know what to do with him

Went to the game - my first time at The Emirates and a 10k crowd with lots of local kids there. Thought the best feedback to share was from my son in law who is an Arsenal supporter. His thoughts at the end of the game: “Thank God we didn’t have to play against 11 of you….couldn’t tell that City...

Loved that team. Remember us hammering Chelsea 6-2. Tueart got a hat trick and Barnes had the full back on toast all game (till the latter got sent off that is)

“Sing when you’re winning, you only …..”

Madrid V PSG please

Rodri changed the game

Rico Lewis in midfield. That’s a hell of a vote of confidence from Pep

More recent but when Pep’s Bayern came to play us in 2013 I was staggered at the gulf between the two sides. We were blowing teams away in England and I though we had a chance in the CL. Was I wrong ! Pep had Lahm, nominally a full back, playing in the middle of the park (sounds commonplace now...

Luton relegation the absolute worst for me. Of our many CL exits I don’t feel as bad about this as : 1. Earlier Madrid (damp squib of a game) 2. Spuds (the elation of the Sterling “goal” followed by the crashing finality of the VAR decision)

Bernie

Johnny boy but thought Laporte and he were fantastic together

King Kev but thought Laporte and Bernie outstanding as well

The man with the stones - thought he held it together when others in our defence were panicking. He’s got to be first choice CB for the run in

Well done to Southampton. Hopefully no other team will take more points from us this year and they deserve a lot of credit for both their performances. Gave my vote to Kev for his second half performance. Thought Jack did well first half and Laporte also in both halves.

I guess there are different ways of viewing things and perhaps I am guilty of your implied criticism of not seeing the woods for the trees. On the other hand, maybe you’re implying motivations on others as wrongly as you are implying them on me. Who knows?

I did see your response first time round. You are right that the word has more than one meaning but I’m not sure your interpretation is the correct one given the rest of the sentence in which it sits. Also ithe same article he writes of the “sensory pleasure of watching this champion City team...
