Subs: Ederson, Carson, Walker, Dias, Kovacic, Grealish, Bernardo, McAtee
A livelier team than weekend up front.
Vladi Weiss starts for SB and Robbie Mak is on the bench.
Plenty of rested players. I'm in favour of rotation as it is a very long season.
C'mon City.
Easy does it. It looks like a nice relaxing evening. A fantastic finish from Phil and great to see Gundo on the score sheet. I'd like to see McAtee given some time in the second half.
2 up, cruising. But really we should be creating and finishing better in the box.
Clearly Haaland read my post and has responded.
A nice and chilled evening. Rico and Phil can pick a pass and there was never any doubt that Erling would put that one away after a slightly wasteful match for him really. It is great for McAtee to come on and get one, he needs to produce in these appearances before he gets a chance in bigger games.
Breeze in the park.
Not playing anywhere near our best which is normal for the start of the season. Pep's way. We get rolling later in the season, around December.
Good result , bit of a stroll in the park
