Wonder will we see a host changes here for second half

Nah, same team for the full 90, per usual.

City + is bobbins . Dropping out half way through. Got a great stream on Sport Digital (DE) .

I've got it on Arena Sport (Croatia I think). Great picture, no drop outs. Can't understand a word they're saying but it's a million times better than the commentary on Sktly or BT.

Hopefully for the commentator.

Good lord Natalie pike should never try and go on a quiz show

Guess you didn't watch her on eggheads then : )

Well you haven’t waited have you? Don’t be comparing after 45 mins of football

It’s not a rocket science :D

But if you have noticed I asked for more time for these players to be assessed, it was just my first impression

Don’t trust these dirty Spanish cunts with KDB or Norwegian marauder

Spanish adverts are really wank

The bench players all look decent.

Alvarez - He's a fighter, he'll score ugly goals simply from his tenacity, and I love it.

Gomez - He's a good passer, and looks dogged defensively, pretty good for his first game.

Phillips - Got caught out a few times and needs to be more careful, but otherwise doing okay.

Lewis - Like Phillips, he sits on the ball a little too long and needs to pass, but he's also done a couple good things in progressing the ball forward and is moving everywhere.

Ortega - Not much I can say really, that goal was bad but meh.

I’d say that Ortega played some good passes out to the players. Talking about his good points is ok. Obviously he messed up for the goal but if he hadn’t we’d be complementary.

Pep not even making early subs in a friendly. Consistent.

Alvarez, Lewis and Gomez definitely the highlights for me. Palmer looks unsure at 8.

I know it's a friendly but to me it does reinforce the point that we are light up top.
