Thought Cole could've come on for Erl after the hour, give Alvarez a bit of No 9

Top win that and it sets a marker for the rest of the season. All about mentality in that final 20.
We’re levels above Newcastle and everyone else for that matter.
The job this week is to sign the players we need to make sure that injuries or suspensions don’t prevent our quality from making the difference at the sharp end of the season.

For me the most impressive thing with these players is the mentality. Dias is the embodiment of that. We are incredibly blessed to witness this.Think it’s no surprise the team play better with Dias in the side. Colossal. Seeing pep look so proud of the players in his interview was nice to see. Very lucky to watch this special side.

I thought it was an absolutely superb performance. The game management in the last 15 mins was immense.
Cracking win that.

I agree other than continuing to have absolutely no clue how we got Alvarez so cheaply.All things considered — when you think what we paid for him, when you think that nobody expected anything very much from him — Akanji is the most startling buy in that team.

Really hard game that, as expected. They’re the hardest team to play against in this league.
Considering the things going against us tonight (lack of numbers, tiredness from Wednesday) that is pound-for-pound one of our best performances of the last few years.

Pep operates a meritocracy so KP getting what he deserves. I cannot understand how the same scouting team who bought Kovacic also sanctioned a move for KP. Surely there were better options available?
I watched that Amazon documentary about him just before the season started. He seems like a decent lad (his Dad is in prison but he was happy to discuss it openly and his tough upbringing) I hope he makes it.
Is there not some rules in place where you have to have a certain number of English players (or academy players) in the squad, was that not one factor in his transfer-in?

Good controlled performance by City. That was a potential banana skin after a midweek game played in suffocating heat. I don't think Newcastle ever really troubled us. I had my concerns with all the absences but at the end of the game I can't say they were missed.
Great to see a full stadium on 90 mins too, lots of singing on the road down to Piccadilly. Great three points to get this early in the season.

Yes, that's a weird one too. And what of Bernardo??
