Think walker will be ok but that was one nasty fucking tackle

It was. Yet there's still idiots on twitter, sorry, x saying that VAR is corrupt and that it was never a red card.

I'm with you here, it wasn't a full boot and walker's leg wasn't planted. More of a glance, unlucky to get a red.
As for hough end I played on there lots of times in the early 90s.
Nice memories there.

Clear red for me under current rules.

Wonder if Grealish isn't 100%. Seemed strange him not getting on the pitch at all.

He got to stop all his 'lad' stuff and demonstrate complete dedication and professionalism.

Competition at City is tough and likely to get tougher....only the VERY best will play !!

Don't fuck with Pep,Jack !!

Great win tonight and a good performance. Rhodri was incredible and so was Haaland for his finishing. Shame Kevin got injured I was a little bit surprised he started but no doubt he will be back soon enough. Up the blues.

Er no - but I did have one once that started to ignore me - now I know why

We've all been there!

Interesting to see Pep and Haaland having an animated discussion at half time - they are both perfectionists and hungry and by definition clashes like that are inevitable - remember this is after a treble winning season - but would rather see that than the shoulder shrugging passive gestures you see from other “top players and managers”

Wouldn't call it an argument, haaland looked to basically ignoring him

Mcatee probably stays around now if KDB going to be out for 2/3months

Very similar to the backend of last season. Not at our prettiest but probably at our most effective.

Thought Burnley had some decent spells, but there's a very soft underbelly there they will need to fix very quickly.

Think when Alvarez and Haaland click there will be a really special partnership there. They're still getting in each others spaces but give it a few games and I'm very excited by it. Haaland's first touch and link-up play dramatically improved from this time last year.

Not many variations of a back four from the 6 or 7 that we could choose from that make me nervous at this point. That season of Fernandinho, Otamendi and an injured Vincent Kompany feels like a long and distant memory.

Was that four academy kids on the pitch at the final whistle (and five including their lot?) Only seen glimpses of Cole Palmer, but he looks a bit calmer and more confident in his play.

3 goals and a clean sheet great result.

Burnley will cause teams a few issues this season, I thought they had a good go first half. they looked knackered second half though.

Rodri, haaland, Walker were brilliant tonight.

Overall good performance to shake off the rust and getting back to winning ways is the most important thing.

Why are Burnley fans booing.

Jack banging their sisters?

I think they'll be doing a good job of that themselves.
