My first thoughts is there any show she s not on these days but at least, unlike Keane, to know and acknowledge we are behind Arsenal in our pre season

That **** shouldn't be at our game either tbh

Not really listened to Emma Hayes before. Much prefer listening to her than many of the typical pundits.

Can ITV not find a City supporting pundit??? Flipping heck Chelsea Women manager and Keane!!

Get Buzzer on.

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.

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

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.

Nowt to shit the bed about. Bit of a lack of creativity going forward and a lack of left footed defenders is making that press easier (plus Saka did Akanji a couple of times). Walker is terrible on the ball in the final third.

Rodri & Kovacic is superb. Johnny Stones has been excellent. Alvarez has looked bright. Decent level considering our reduced preseason.

Better than expected at this stage of the season.

Tidy on the ball, just need to find that creativity in the final third.

Far, far too reasonable and positive.

Give your heads a wobble!
