Good line up

C/Mon Cityyyy

A slow start but a good half in the end. Lovely goals from Phil and Erling. Good contributions from Doku but Savinho has had a very good half. Keep it tight now and it will be a very good start to the League phase.

Where is Rodri ?

[gavin]

Not even on the bench, he has had 'a little setback' according to Pep.

A decent win. I was getting slightly concerned at 3-1 but Dortmund are a decent side so we should expect some worries. Great to see Phil firing again.

[KunDB]

I get the feeling the team is ticking over nicely and building slowly to a very high level. Might even see the top level for this team early, second half of the season.

This is some squad, just oozing talent everywhere, including on the bench.

Decent result,  going into the Liverpool game this weekend
