A few things shone out last night:
- Nunes, absolutely a City type player. Didn't look out of place, in fact he just seems like a younger version of Kovacic to me. Picked up some nice space as the free man, will take some time for him to completely get it but i think he pretty much does.
- Doku, fucking hell what a player we've got here potentially. There will 100% be games where he annoys us with poor end product, but if someone can teach this guy that back post tap-in like Sterling, we might have a winner! So direct, it was exactly what was needed on that left side.
- Rodri, what else to say about this guy? So calm, never phased when in trouble and it just sets the tempo again.
At some point you gotta think what is Phillips showing in training? Surely this game was tailor-made for him? Sit next to Rodri and control the game, but if he can't get in against these lot when we have all these injuries, when?
