fantastic connection between savi and foden , hope they both get to play together more minutes.
rico fuck marcelo lewis
nunes -he baked it he ate

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Another victory for football over anti football

 

[BlueDan91]

Not downplaying his legacy as a city Legend by saying this but Manu Akanji is the next Vincent Kompany.

What a player.

Thrilled for Nunes too, brilliant performance.

 

[OB1]

Fine result in the end. Frustrating not to get the second goal sooner, lack of precision with final ball plus some very good goalkeeping.

We eventually saw why teams play with low blocks: when you don’t, you get cut apart.

Four fabulous goals.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Much better 2nd half after a slow opening half.

Some excellent goals.

We have dished out some right hammerings over the years but I’m not sure I’ve ever watched the opposition just give up. Our defenders being able to stand still with the ball for 30s with nobody within 20 yards of them is hardly a great advert for the new format.

 

[Blu1]

Lots of players played excellent for parts of the Positives ake, akanji back.
Overall Nunes did well & deserves a start v saints at weekend.
Moments of foden at his best.
Rico was solid again.
Haaland being haaland but I think savinhio was non stop. Attacking & tracking back all game. Motm for me

I love akanji but...

 

[mancboy]

Behold, a player discernibly improving in their second season under Pep…

Well that almost never happens .....

 

[Lost in space]

4 academy lads on the park with 2 runnin the show and 2 newbies holding their own is a thing of beauty

 

[jimharri]

Professional job done. 5 goals, a clean sheet (!) and no injuries that I'm aware of. What more do you want?

 

[Mr HJ]

Pragues manager is Rob Beckett

More Philip Seymour-Hoffman for me.

Everyone touched the ball equally , almost but savi was ruthless

I love akanji but...

Nothing wrong with a bit of hyperbole after a 5 star showing

 

[hihosilva]

Too many daft teams in this new format. I’ve seen better Sunday league teams.

Love watching Savinho and thought Mcatee looked slick in his cameo.

Good to see Nunes shape himself. Needs to start doing it against professional football teams now.

Yeah & them having Rob Beckett as manager doesn't help.

 

[Stoned Rose]

It was good. If Hoddle doesn’t calm down he will be back in hospital.

Hoddle is such a fanny.

 

[city saint]

these injuries have come at a good time for nunes as it will give him time to show what hes about.loved erlings second goal for the team work his first was just taking the piss

 

[ComfySeats]

I like that new tactic from the centre halves just waiting for them to push up

Hopefully we adopt this in the prem. Breath of fresh air seeing this tactic.

First half:

Second half:

looking at Pep’s demeanour at half time I am not surprised the second half was very different.
