Grealish had a very good first half.Foden and Haaland working well too.Haaland will hopefully shut the dickheads up a bit now.

Kev anonymous and Cancelo more a liability than an asset,again.

Don’t think Foden has done much. One incredible touch and one decent cross. I’m sure he’ll improve in the second half and in coming games, he’s not had a proper preseason.

Otherwise wholeheartedly agree.

Haaland's pace, power and technic is already world class, this kid is very, very special

100% agree.

Haaland isn't the problem,you can see he is quality.

Gundog had a through pass on for him and ignored him.

The team are so used to playing with the False 9,pushing the Ball out wide first.

Once they get used to playing it to him,he is going to be terrifying with that physicality and pace.He will score a shit load,and win a dozen penalties.

I dont give a fuck how they played. We offered next to nowt going forward...if it wasn't for haalands godlike pace that overcooked ball from gundo would have come to nothing too.

Ok, you’re beyond reasoning with.

wow

Go on then, I'll bite. Tell me what you'd do with Cancelo. Please, educate me. He's been off his game today, and has picked up a yellow card. One more mistimed tackle and he's off.

 

[Magicpole]

Sorry son, but that’s Jota’s. Well in though to win the penalty and put it away like a boss, but, get your own celebration. That one is taken. ;)

 

[crossbar]

Jack doesn’t belong in the front three. For me he has always been a midfielder. I know he has to bench both Bernardo and Gundogan to get minutes but he doesn’t offer much on the wings. He doesn’t have the speed or the dribbling skills to beat fullbacks.

 

[bluemonkey71]

On the whole Cancelo has played pretty well including the shithouse lob pass.

 

[OntarioBlue]

He’s been good. I’m genuinely baffled by the hate.

Kev, Foden, Cancelo all been worse.

(Not tryna dig any of em out they haven’t been too bad)

It’s not hate. As @paulchapo said we are all City fans and we want him to do well, but his total contribution today (and in most of the games he has played for us) is a bunch of square and back passes. This is not the player we thought we were getting for £100m.

80 % possession and not at home. Crazy stuff

Are you watching the actual game or just hitting refresh of the anti-Grealish circle jerk that is Blue Moon?

I think you know its the latter
