Such a shambles we had to fake an injury to have a team talk (which changed nothing?)

As soon as they took their small lads off at half-time they bullied us.

The discrepancy in pace at which cards come out for time wasting for City vs against City is maddening

Who is more likely to finish as City’s second top goal scorer: Savinho, Doku or Maxime Estève?

Totally imperfect metric, but we lost 4 of these opening 5 fixtures last season. Plus Wolves was only a last minute set piece.

I'd absolutely keep him... but, how many project players with potential can we carry at one time when the manager is Pep and the standards are Pep's?

Would love to know if they’re mentioned internally at City. As a fan on the outside looking in they’re the reference point for a successful rebuild. Everything they are now is everything they weren’t previously.

How do you square today’s approach with what pep has said in the past about how to beat a back 3/5? He’s on record about the importance of width in this context then plays us completely narrow with no physicality in the team to win the inevitable duels that occur when the game gets clogged up.

Quality. Maybe too niche to make the cut but didn't Shaun Goater score the first goal on PPV in a 1-0 win at Colchester?

He also broke this duck already at Ipswich!

Lack of stability across the whole team makes it so hard to judge individuals. It doesn’t completely excuse Ederson, but what chance does any keeper have in an environment where you use 26 (TWENTY-SIX!) different back fours
