Kovacic does look gundo-esque, just no where near as good … yet.

The probing snd short passing is there, im looking forward to doing it higher up the pitch, like gundo did

Kova is top class and much nearer to Gundo than you seem to think.

Also, not many players slot into City’s midfield so seamlessly. He would have been MotM today bit for a stellar performance from Foden.

I've self nicknamed him The Glove. Seamless.

Imposing performance from City today. Bossed it very impressively aside from a couple of short spells in the second half.

Expected a tougher game given the team's midweek exploits in Athens.

Watched the game today in the bar in New York where the NYC Supporters’ Club gather for games. Having done that once before back when Hughes was manager, at a different bar, it was interesting to reflect on how both the team and our support have grown in the intervening years. They’re gonna need a bigger bar.

Great performance, huge early season win.

Foden brilliant, Kovacic fantastic, Grealish very good. Haaland.... Might as well have played a brick wall.

Haaland has plenty of credit in the bank. We forget the guy is 23. God help the league and Europe when he starts connecting on some of these shots

Just got to the South Coast, still buzzing!!

What a performance on and off the pitch.

I'm amazed by our boys, I don't know how they keep up the pace, especially foden. They were knackered towards the end and pep should have made a sub. But maybe that's why we won.

Rodri is playing that good at the moment that I have him as motm most times but he was edged by foden today.

Walker is just so masterclass. Our team are so experienced!

Rodri set the highest standards and he was slightly below those today. One underhit pass could have cost us a goal. But he remains arguably our most important player. True collosus.

Said in the pre match thread and it came to fruition. This team, regardless of injuries and set backs are the very best in the world. I’m sure those who have a downer on every little thing are just like that in their lives so you’ve got to let them crack on but fuck me, if you can’t have faith in this lot you’ll never have faith in anything. That’s a sad existence.

Peps reaction to the fan in the stands was classic. Good response when asked about it also. We all think we can do better recognizing when we need subs but he sees the game differently to everyone else. He’s doesn’t like to disrupt tempo in close games.

Foden looked like a captain today. Won’t be long before he is the captain of city and England.
