I was watching thinking this is Kev's Yaya moment, as in that game away at Newcastle where through sheer force of personality Yaya dragged us to a 2-0 win. Kev not only equalled that, he surpassed it. City as a whole though last night were a team of real beauty, the movement of the front players created the space for Kev to do his thing. Wolves just could not cope with the constant interchanging of Phil, Bernardo and Raheem, this not only created space for Kev, but space also for Cancelo and Zincho. I thought it was possibly Zincho's best ever game for us, he was superb. Gundo and Rodri ticked things over beautifully which meant given our defensive injuries we were never really under pressure. Attack is the best form of defence and if the other team do not have the ball, we can cope without defenders.
Wolves are a team we have struggled against in recent seasons, but its no exaggeration that last night could easily have been double figures, we were that good. We were relentless in winning the ball back which in a way was encapsulated by Kev picking up a yellow for a cynical challenge, dark arts from the white knight.
Onto Kev, never in my lifetime did I imagine I would see a better player in sky blue than Bell, Yaya came close, Silva was a genius, Kev last night was Bell with bells on. Everything he did was magical, from his goals to his almost assists for Foden and he was ably assisted by willing forward thinking players who never stopped trying to create space and overloads. It is almost laughable that the rags had the temerity to think Bruno was in the same league as Kev, sorry, he aint on the same planet.
Treasure last night, it was peak Pep and a performance that will send shudders through the PL . Highest top division scorers in Europe and we adding Haaland.
Fuck me its great times to be a Blue.
