Mainoo, obviously.

Tbf, I think Mainoo is a very good player, we tried to sign him but he chose the Rags, a shame because Pep would have been a great mentor for him.

What injury did he pick up, I haven't heard anything yet.

He gave an interesting insight into his philosophy after the game. He said Spain 'play like a big team with the ball, and like a small team without the ball'.

Sounds like something Pep may have said to the City players.

My daughter said: "He sounds like Pep", after his interview.

Ain't no doubt that Rodri is a product of Pep's coaching and guidance. Rodri is a smart guy and clearly a top professional but I have to think he would not have become the world's best player if he had not had several years being coached by Pep.

I read hamstring last night, not heard since.

I had to miss the second half, he get injured?

No, he just knows when to put the team ahead of himself unlike the England captain.

Mainoo can't do anything wrong in his eyes, he's always been a proper bitter red, talks absolute shite at times, usually just ignore him.

I flicked on the post-match on ITV and there was Gary Nutter. Fuck off, I thought. Tried BBC and there's CamelGob. Went to see what I had in the 'recorded bank'!

To paraphrase Lineker:

Football is a simple game. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, Rodri always wins.
