3-0 to the Champions

Early kick off
3 to go

In Pep we trust

If it wasn't for Haaland Gvardiol would have got my man of the match. He is rapidly becoming world class imo.

Nice and easy does it. A nice confidence builder for the last few games. Haaland hopefully on a good run now.

That was the stress relief first half I praying for.

Beautiful football from players who've finally had a decent break between games.

I hope wet kick on second half and double the score.

We stayed pointing the ball about with some pace which was a good sign from the start. This should be a big boost for Erling.

Ederson, Walker (C), Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, Haaland

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Dias, Stones, Grealish, Doku, Alvarez, Gomez, Nunes, Lewis

The champions look strong

City to win 4-1.

I prefer Ortega at the moment, he knows when to hoof it and not piss about on the edge of his area.

Probably Ortega in net again though Ederson is pictured in training today. There's not much between them really. I expect Haaland to start after his excellent goal in the last match. Phil should hopefully be well enough to start again. It'd be good to see Dias back again too.
