Impressed with City keeping the ball. Nice warm up.

Kovacic is a steal.

Arsenal two good chances while we haven’t had any but they are chasing shadows for the most part. Imagine the moaning on here if we had had as little of the ball as they have.

Result totally unimportant.

 

[City Raider]

Considering we’re a couple of warm up games behind them, it’s ok.

What does stand out is we’ll be totally relying on KDB and Foden to create unless we get more bodies in.

Dont think cards count for anything today.

Classed as a competitive first team match as far as I know.

 

[Blue warrior]

We have done fairly well looked a little jaded when they came into the game but that’s to be expected.

Not really creating much going forward but no KDB and Phil. Definitely think we need an extra creator/winger this window.

 

[Keeper!]

Brilliant player.
Never stops moving

Has done more in 45 mins that Phillips showed all last season

 

[Saddleworth2]

For this stage of the season that was a fine display. Kova and Rodri both very very good.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Ortega, gives me kittens. He’s just so casual on the ball. I like him.

 

[Brad mcfc]

What a signing Kova has been so far.

 

[christened at st marks]

Got to get Phil on

Neat and tidy, moving it nicely from Ortega through to the midfield. Few scares with them getting in behind Akanji, but I honestly expected more from them, given where we’re both at in terms of preparation.
Obviously lacking a creative spark, but no surprise without De Bruyne and Foden (and Gundogan or even Mahrez). Kovacic, Bernardo, Grealish and Alvarez are all great at what that they do, but are never going to make masses of chances.
