Half time, 3-0 up and missed a penalty. Palmer the culprit, missing a penalty that he himself had earned. Mahrez looking brilliant. Barnsley will be hoping that he is off at half time. Edozie looks like he might get a few run outs in competitive games this season. He got the first, lovely finish from a great ball from Mahrez. Knight and Mahrez himself with the other goals.

God first half Mahrez running the show and running riot. Unfortunately for Cole but an average attempt, so definitely a City player prospect. Expecting 11 changes for second half.

Nice 4th goal. Back heel from Pablo Moreno to Nathan Ake who turned and scored.

Not ten changes at half time but nonetheless a number of changes second half affected the flow. Overall, an impressive run out though again.

Looks like we play Blackpool on Tuesday at 18:00 on City+

It's nice to see us playing Northern teams for pre season for a change rather than these big tournaments abroad.

The big tournaments are good as we are usually up against top teams, but it's just nice for a change to play locally and against lower league teams.

Get Pep down to the Butcher's Arms to play the mighty Droylsden! UP THE BLOODS!!!

McAtee stood out particularly while several other young players shone. I’d say plenty of Championship teams will be trying to poach a few of them on loan.
