That team is more than good enough.

Interesting line up that.

Everton will almost certainty double-up on Mahrez and Grealish.

Happy to see the one paced Gundo dropped, thought he was shocking against Leeds pressing midfield.

Would that be the bit where one turn that took out their midfield and set up the key opening goal?

Gundogan was probably our best player the other night..

There will be a lot of space in the middle then!

Brentford are a decent team who move the ball well and know what they are supposed to be doing. We are none of that. Easy win for you and its not even Haaland I fear tbh, its the general football.

Think Frank may go 5 at the back and sit deep to avoid a thrashing. It will be awful to watch as we cant counter at all so it will be attack v defence until it breaks then its damage limitation.

4-0 City

Back 5 as predicted. Park the bus and hope Dom gets onto any long balls or pray for Gray to go on a decent run with the ball.

Tbh I cant even criticise as the thought of a back 4 and midfield with massive holes against you is traumatising.

Iot sure its the best game to bring Dom back for though. I'd have saved him for more winnable games.

I wonder what’s going on with Phil? Can’t be due to the World Cup as I’m pretty sure he was on the bench an unusual amount even before it.

Phil might need to rethink his future plans if he can’t get a start for City. He shouldn’t be wasting his precious career on the bench.

Tbh when he plays nowadays it's like being a man down.
