We need more pace in the central defence, why doesn’t the manager see what everybody else can see

Khus is a terrible right back but one of our best CBs. Should be played there more often

Off the Beeb

Erling Haaland is a machine.
119 Premier League goals.
173 goals in 208 appearances in all competitions for Manchester City.
11 in his last eight City appearances this season.
Insane numbers.

Defensive fart aside, a good professional half.

Am I allowed to wank over Bouaddi?
Hasn't put a foot wrong. Even more box-to-box than expected.
Authoritative!

Cannot be overstated what an incredible upgrade Ndiaye is over savinho. His footwork is great but his work rate is even better.

Bouaddi again with a mature showing. Not so much a tackler but very good at interceptions. Tidy on the ball with an intelligence that you'd expect from someone 10 years older.

Doku can sometimes slow the ball down too much, but just as relentless attacking the fullback. Would have been a pretty perfect half without that Guehi fuck up

Still very young but Bouaddi seems to play a few steps ahead with an elegance that reminds me of a deeper lying David Silva. Incredible player

My grandmother would.be an upgrade for Savinho!

Ndiaye is great. Takes on a man, etc, a proper winger. I think Doku needs to take a look at that flank and change his approach sometimes.

Exactly.
You never get disappointed, regardless the scoreline. Porto game was quintessential.
Proper English bulldogs.
