Akanji played him on the dope
The computer image showed it was Akanji's hand that was playing him on though which isn't possible as the hand is obviously a body part that you're not allowed ton play the ball with.
The graphic shown on DAZN had the line on Akanji's heel, so he was onside. Looked on in real time, to be honest.

I hope to God that this bloody stupid thing with the players coming on one at a time doesn't catch on.
It's painful to watch.

I was watching on DAZN and couldn't see the bit of heel playing him on. Makes more sense that way. The graphic was just flashed up and my eyes aren't the best.

Its early days, but the much needed shake up of the squad and the coaching staff seems to be paying off. If we could only add a right back.

Rico Lewis will be fine in a high functioning City side that has possession, moves the ball well and doesn't get rinsed in the counter. The new look midfield will reduce our defensive frailties immensely.
He was just hung out to dry last season because we were shite across the board.
Even Nunes will be ok if we keep performing like yesterday

Just flying back to CLT right now great game good atmosphere, loads of City fans came across the pond awesome to see not read anything yet to bloody early lol , wondering if the wankers in the media rubished the “empty seats” cause there wasn’t many 55000 there great turnout for a midweek game during working hours
Oh and a massive shout out to the Orlando supporters club great time in Murphy pub
Met Jolean and Shawny Right right right
Good times

Great result, dominated a poorish Juve side . Can only beat what's in front of you. Good to see Sav show his quality. We look a much quicker side going forward.
Ederson brain fart as per usual and a goal on the break still showing we have flaws to be worked on

enjoyed the game, went to mates to watch with beer and food, thought new players are blending in well, still not easy at the back, to much sloopy defending and goalie not doing to much to help, but going forward its a good start

It’ll never be perfect but it sounds like we are much more exciting than large parts of last season
A very welcome development

Agree with this.
As a right back - Lewis is not big enough, too slow and caught out on the wrong side more often than not. Nothing you do with the rest of the team will change that.
Half decent in midfield
