Nice straight forward win for a change

Frustrating watching us be so wasteful in the final 3rd though, we really could have had 6 or 7 in that 2nd half

KDB repeatedly not passing it to Thor in space, was very very frustrating!!!

Good 3 points against a gritty Wolves side who only wanted to defend.

That Mahrez 4th didn't look off side.

Just the ticket. We are slowly starting to move up the gears now. Hopefully we'll hit top speed at the perfect time.

Professional display and in control. Just what we needed. Foot off the gas in the last 30 minutes but fantastic response to Pep’s rant. Probably just what he wanted to see in the first hour. Fans sounded noticeably louder too. Great response all round! Although arsenal have two games in hand at the minute, that result at least puts some pressure on them. Let’s go City!

What stands out for me is…

The refusal to pass forward into space when it’s clearly on. The amount of times the team go back instead of playing a forward ball that’s on is scary.

Haaland would have already been on 40+ goal this year if the team just went forward when it’s clearly on. I understand being patient and going backwards if nothing is on but good god I’m tired of seeing players turn back when going for the kill is on.

It’s about getting the balance right between risk and control. Pep’s philosophy is to control games with little risk but the balance was much better today as I feel we have been far too controlling at times this season.

A few thought they were on the VAR thread...

FULL-TIME​

Man City 3-0 Wolves
Erling Haaland's hat-trick is the difference as City gain all three points.

You couldn't make it up!

Can't fault the overall effort against (at times) the strange decisions from the match officials and against a team hell bent in spoiling the game in the first half.

Yep, great commitment shown today

We won 3-0 and battered them and that’s what stands out. You sound more annoyed at that then enjoying winning the match .
