has never really been given a go in midfield where he might do a job.

That's the thing though, he might nominally be left back for us, but he ply's his trade primarily in midfield or overlapping down the left, which is why that Jenas analysis was good, today he was often central, doing the job Cancelo does from right or left.

They said it in commentary on Sky, what exactly is City's formation ? The answer is we don't really have ONE it changes regularly through a game, which makes us very hard to play against, and now we have a defender like Dias, also incredibly hard to score against.

Playing with 1 striker scored 1 goal

Last game played without any striker and ended up scoring 5 goals !


Is the team playing better without any striker ?

It's definitely worth a discussion, but I think we would have always racked them up against West Brom and scoring against Sheffield United would have been difficult regardless of personnel.

We scored only 1 against Brighton without a striker too, and 4 against Crystal Palace with a striker.

Whilst you may be right, you've 100% rushed to a conclusion there.

I like zinchenko. He is mobile. He is skilful. He works hard.

I think he plays as well as he can. He plays to the limits of his talent and offers much to the team. He has great spirit and personality based on the all or nothing documentary.

A much underrated player and a great asset to the squad. I think the rest of the players rate him.

We made hard work of that today but got there in the end. Surprised we didn’t bring any subs on earlier.

They never make it easy. A win is a win. Quite relieved.

What game were they watching? Every bounce going our way? I don't think that has ever happened, ever.

Having just seen the head injury sustained by our bright young star, I cannot understand why Foden was not immediately replaced as a precaution. He has to miss the Burnley game surely.
