Fine result.
Plenty to be optimistic about and a fair bit to work on, as would be expected after a 2 week preseason. I’d expect energy levels to rise as match fitness improves.
Wolves were aggressive and physical and won plenty of duels; helped by a bit of refereeing leniency?
Scrappy start to second half where City couldn’t keep the ball and it remained that way somewhat, punctured by two more fine goals.
We knew what we were looking for from Cherki and Reijnders and they did not disappoint. Tijji had an outstanding debut. On the debut front RAN was solid and James Trafford demonstrated composure beyond his years.
Oscar Bobb sprinkled some fairy dust about. His partner in crime Rico Lewis had an accomplished game.
Nico G did well. Bernardo did a captain’s job and it was a pleasure to see Stones and Dias back in tandem.
