Going to the Fulham match. Making a huge effort to do so. Hope to see Foden start and at least a look at Doku. Plus a few City goals of course!

outside of the assist (which lets be honest was a bit fortunate) , grealish was fucking abysmal! still holding the ball too long, no end product and no creativity. failed to release haaland at least 3 times when obvious through balls were on. this is what, his third season with us, and he still hasnt learned to look up and release the ball quickly??

Astonishingly it’s the first time we’ve won the first three matches of a PL season since 2016/17 in Peps first season. As an aside we won the first 6 that season

Certainly hasn’t started the season the way he finished last season. Maybe Doku will spur him on? But he wants to shape up and fast

Corners are especially shit. Given a lot of our defenders are big lads, Ake, Gvardiol, Dias, Stones and Rodri is a tall lad as well, we don’t present nearly as much of a threat from them as we should.

A long standing bug bear of mine

Grealish’s assist was not fortunate. It was a quality cross begging to be buried. Foden’s assist was lucky. He should have set Haaland on goal at least once though.

Inspired substitution once again !

Presume phil was under the weather and only came on as an emergency.

Job done, 3 points in the bag when no one had their shooting boots on.

Jack was very wasteful gets ball goes down wing then stop, needs to move it a lot faster, thought I saw the last of that with sterling, and we do need a sub on about 60 mins not leave it late

Their goal was offside right? And they ignored it?

He’s been told to play like that though. He’s following orders.

Lillo confirmed that Foden had a stomach bug and wasn’t deemed fit for 90. He was not dropped.

No

Be very disappointed if that was chalked off us.
