Personally, I think the buying of Nunes allows multiple combinations in midfield.

It's such an astute buy.

He could play with or replace Rodri for rests. His position could work with Phillips, Kovacic or Stones.

I'm really impressed with the buy and I don't say that out loud, too often.

3 days after tough game at Wet Spam
Just off the international break
Bedding in new players
Empty bench
4 starters out
Bernie going off

Win 3-1

What's not to like?

That's far too positive for BlueMoan. You'll need to get with the programme, PDQ.

Pep looked in pain in that interview. I wonder if he’s still not fully recovered from his surgery?

He'd just had a quick skim through the match day thread to see how happy people were with the 3 1 win

I've noticed that as well. Ha.

Me too

Don’t be silly
Rodri’s never getting a rest

It's certainly a time of rich and gluttonous attacking, this last few weeks, with chances coming in a blizzard at times.

All eyes on Haaland it seems, and you have to say his finishing is way off his best, in fact it's quite poor by a premier League player's standards, but he's always there to miss them, crucially.

Of course we should have battered them, and I think Pep will be having a lot of words about the sloppy passing and the manner in which we allowed easy and fast counters. The first half was almost arrogant in the way City went about it, which I think was bollocked out of them at HT as they were much more business like from 45 to 75.

Walker and Dias poor, in my eyes, Ake fine, Foden bit off it. Nunes played much better second half. Doku exciting, Alvarez fantastic.

Onwards, a really weird and chaotic way to win a football game, but enjoyable also.

How that game wasn't 10-1 is baffling. Poor finishing and some good saves by an eccentric keeper is probably why. These games mean nothing really except three points, no injuries and getting qualified as soon as possible.

Six wins, players injured and new ones bedding in and we are still a bit rusty. When we get a fully fit squad and into our stride and fitness we once more will be the ones to beat.

Nunez fairly quiet I thought…..

Imagine if we ever become clinical. Some poor team could be on the end of a serious tw@ting.

He’s got that ability to beat a man and really attack dangerous areas. We have some amazing options in there now with him and Kovacic that compliments what we already have and he’s young so will improve a tonne.

Like you say, a really good buy.

Nice post match interview from Rodri, gave some credit to Ortega for his goal – apparently Stefan pointed out that the keeper was always focused on the aerial threat and wasn't watching his posts
