v The Gunners Carabao Cup

[KunDB]

Steffen, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Fernandinho (C), Bernardo, Mahrez, Foden, Jesus

SUBS | Ederson, Walker, Stones, Sterling, Gundogan, Aguero, Torres

Good to see Laporte get his chance and plenty rested. Still a very strong team.

C’mon City.

[Stephen Paul]

well deserved night off for KDB

[gavin]

All senior players! I'd like to see Bernard have a really good game tonight.

[Stephen Paul]

Looking decent early doors

[gavin]

Firmino scores the opener for City.

[Stephen Paul]

Sky saying that could have easily been a red

The keeper clearly got the ball you biased bustards

[gavin]

Piss poor defending from Laporte for the equaliser. He's not going to get back into the league team with defending like that.

Mahrez is bloody frustrating at times. Beats his man, into the box, then pulls it back to let his man back in front of him, and loses the ball. Ricky Holden at least used to beat his man a couple of times before losing the ball.

First time i have seen a proper wall in front of a wall for a free kick. Is this the latest thing?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Lovely goal from Foden. Great build up from Dinho.

[KunDB]

Real good performance and goals galore. All good 😌.

Most teams have a bloke lying down behind the wall now.

Good win, not the most difficult match but hopefully a confidence builder with the goals.

You can only play whats in front of you and they had a few good opportunities.

Frustrated that Jesus missed a great opportunity to score when through.
He needs to be scoring these types of goals, although he has an obvious strength in the air.

VAR would have chalked Fodens goal off, but thought he played particularly well tonight. Some great creativity from him.
