Didn't like that at all but 3 points is 3 points however you get it.

Little invention in the side without kdb and foden, that has to change moving forward, hopefully doku will help massively with that.

Once we got the goal, i really didn't like our approach. They didn't change at all, still sat in and let us have it yet we completely took our foot off the gas sat on the ball and invited pressure which then led to mistakes instead of going for the second and killing it off and it put us in danger of dropping points.

Midfield 2 of rodri and kovacic were majestic throughout, backline was great, Gvardiol slotted straight in looks brilliant already yet there's plenty more to come from him.

Ominous for would be challengers if we dont have our usual slow start and dropped points to the season. The mental fragility of the rest will work in our favour.

Get through the Fulham game get pep back. Get stones back, doku settled and hopefully another signing or two before the window closes and we'll be in the best shape to a season we've been for a while.

They definitely did change after the goal. They came out after the goal and did well.
 
Good win in the end, but it should’ve been rapped up after an hour.
Funny thing is though this sort of result kills the opposition hopes even more.
 
Wonder if those 7 minutes would have gone on the board if it was 1-1. Overall a solid win we made it difficult but have to accept teams like them will go anti football for 90 mins.

Couple of hundred miles from London actually. What a pathetic response. But it's true that a lot of the worshipping of Phil is clearly bc he's a local lad. It's tedious. (I have nothing against Phil, of course he's a great player, but he gets overly bigged up by many in our fanbase.)

Changed the game again today. He’s one of best players in Europe for his age. We missed him but he’d been ill:

Lillo also explained that Phil Foden, who came off the bench to set up Rodri's winning strike, had experienced stomach problems days before the game and that was why he did not start, after a superb performance last week against Newcastle. "Phil had some problems with his stomach, he wasn’t feeling in the best condition. We could see he wasn’t feeling very well and we were able to use the squad," he said.
 
Weird game, really. Always felt like we were playing in first gear, and as soon as we needed to step up, we did.

Overall a good performance to continue that 100% record!
 
Sheffield worked hard, yet what was it 80% possession, 90%? and who do Sheffield play next - they will be knackered for it.

I wonder if it will get to the stage at some point, a bit like with Cup games, that a Manager of a club like Sheffield or Luton or Everton will play the under-21s and B-team players to save their first 11 for games they have a chance in?

We might see some more records broken with school match type results: 15-0, 16-0

Or are there rules to stop that happening?
