The first hour was absolutely awful. Gundo being technically superb should come as a surprise to nobody but Pep going straight back those 2 in centre mid is a worry and it was no surprise how slow and ineffective we were until we brought on some energy and drive.

Garcia was not the worst player in the game. Cancelo was(in this game). He is better in the right side with walker behind him.. I am not saying Garcia should start from now on or was good. But He was okay .He absolutely wasn't.
He's a fucking waste of space.

Pep Guardiola on Fernandinho's injury: "Bad news, in the place he was injured [before]. He will be out a long time. It's happened." [

I still have trouble with keeping Garcia and selling for Tosin for nothing. Stones who wants to be here should have played.
Cancelo needs to play higher, he is not the defensive fullback that Ake and Walker are which provides us with stability that our attackers need.
If Pep wants to play Rodri and Gundogan together it can't be in an isolated midfield, they needed Bernardo there and once he dropped deeper it looked like something useful.
Ferran and Foden put a smile on my face for that goal, hope to see more of that.
Mahrez needs to focus on creating more instead of fannying about.
Otherwise well we move on.

I suppose I'm not used to the way we're playing this season. Got spoilt by the quality of football over the last few seasons.

Well he made that very obvious tonight.Cancels is not a defender.
Unfortunately his attacking play and passing game weren’t up to scratch either.
Not his best performance. I’m sure he can play better.

Yes Cancelo is the worst def in the league, Garcia 2nd.
Sounds bad with Ferno, just listening to Peps interview on BT
Fernandinho out for “a long time”.
At the end of the day we don't need Fernandinho in October and November, we need him in April and May, and his role is very clearly as a sub/rotation option this season anyway.
Hopefully more chances for Doyle and Fern will be back in the business end of the season when we need him.

The referee’s performance was a sad reflection of the problems of allowing officials from third grade leagues - Latvia in tonight’s case- to take charge of first grade teams and matches.
It’s all very democratic but it leads to out-of-his-depth performances like tonight’s.
Or I could be making allowances for what looked like some very suspicious decisions.
