And he didn't need a year to settle....
A sign of pure quality.

This this and this !!!!!

[Outcast]

We want 5

[mr_nool]

Akanji's first ever PL goal: scored with his arse.

[blues2win]

Doku can play on the right that’s clear!

[Bear60]

Doku what a signing what a player settled in with ease

[blues2win]

Erling had a chance there. Took too long.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Akanji Being awarded the third goal apparently

[KinkyKinkladze]

Daft question this but do you reckon big Erl is lacking in self belief/confidence right now? A few times over the past couple of months he's been presented with chances to smash a shot off first time. Last season he would have. This year he seems to be taking an unnecessary extra touch to set himself.

[nottsblue]

Just what the doctor ordered. A nice lead and we can just stroke it around second half and not use too much energy before the CL tie next week

[john@staustell]

I hope he doesn't bring Akanji back to the starting line

Most skilful backside in the PL

[PrezIke]

Very, VERY pleased thus far with this game and to follow from the last.

Doku woof. Only the sky the limit for this lad. He, like Haaland, really seems to have great attitude that gives me a real sense he has a better chance to fulfill it compared to others.

Bernardo bossing it, Rodri too. Surprise, we also have Stones, and Akanj looking much better.

[PeterParker]

Bernie & Alvarez - woah, what a partnership.

[Beefymcfc]

Phil coming on, hopefully no injuries.

[CTID Hants]

Sit down Bournemouth

[mr_nool]

Very poor by Ed. Saved by the linesman.

[Beefymcfc]

Need to concentrate and not treat it like we’ve already won.

[blues2win]

Hope Erling injury isn’t too bad. Just a precaution?

[PeterParker]

Hope Erling injury isn’t too bad. Just a precaution?

Most likely with Chavs, Murderers, Villa and Spuds coming up.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Off the beeb : -

Erling Haaland is injured
Man City 3-0 Bournemouth

Simon Stone
BBC Sport at the Etihad Stadium
Just before the half-time whistle blew, Erling Haaland didn't make a move towards a low cross into the Bournemouth box.

He didn't appear to be moving quite right and when the whistle finally went he flexed his leg a couple of times as he was speaking to Julian Alvarez.

There was clearly an issue. Pep Guardiola will hope it is not serious.

[blues2win]

Bournemouth in it more. Come on City.
