Zinchenko and Ake were excellent. “Did ok” lol, clueless

Zinchenko and ake are not a drop off, both are outstanding footballers.

My very slight gripe I've had the last couple of games concerns the academy boys coming on it last 10-15 minutes.
Being comfortably winning, tge team are usually in game management mode passing it around the back usually. Means the academy boys don't really 'get' into the game.
I know the whole match day is part of tge learning experience but i would ideally like tge tempo to be a tad higher in situations like this so the academy boys potentially see more of the ball in competitive mode.

You want Academy lads to come on in a tight game when we need a result at the expense of a top class established player!

I'm not sure we played with tge same level of control or game management we do at present 2-3 years ago.
When the boys came on yesterday I was eager for them to get really involved, but our management of the game and the ball really prevented that.
I'm not being hugely critical, just want the boys to show what they can do in tge cameos they're getting.

To anyone at the game, can you upload any videos of the fans from yesterday, some great noise. No wonder Pep was bowing to the support.

Thought they were fabulous yesterday. Was on row 2 with a great view and their reading of the game and running off the ball was excellent, a lot better players than a lot give them credit for

No, where do I say that. I merely suggest that we try and keep a bit of tempo in these games when the academy boys get on.

Zinchenko made a big difference to the the fluidity of the team. When he got the ball he moved it quickly and to me we look a more balanced side with him in it.

That’s currently our most dangerous front 3. I was actually excited to see our strongest front 5 with the possible exception of KDB in for Sterling.

Fernandinho is on his way out but I just love watching him play.

Zinchenko never lets us down.

We could/should have been 3 up in the first 15 minutes.

I actually thought Ake looked more secure than Dias.

The control of games that City have, is incredible. All eleven of our players look so assured and calm, while the opposition (who in the Premier League, are almost always internationals themselves) scurry around like headless chickens, chasing shadows.

And it goes on week after week. Doesn't matter who's in or out of the team. Our control is relentless.

It really is incredible to behold.
