Playing much better now.

Well, barring the first 10 minutes I think we've looked assured and pretty strong going forward. Pereira has been excellent as have Maddison and Iheanacho.

 

[Jeff]

Half time 1-1

 

[Rock Fox]

City looked much better after the drinks break - pressing, passing, going forward and set pieces we look dangerous. Kasper made couple of really good saves, so not too bad overall.

 

[AberFox]

Iheanacho, Pereira and Maddison have looked great, like they're really enjoying playing together. I've been impressed with Amartey at right back too, he links up well with Pereira. Albrighton has been shite except his fantastic cross for the goal - probably pre-season rustiness affecting his overall game today.

Overall, despite a bad start, some grounds for optimism.

Silva replaces Iborra

 

[pork pie fox]

Nacho had a strong preseason

Yep I was thinking that too

 

[Jeff]

Great cross Chilwell

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

2-1. Nacho again and some great build up play.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Useless

 

[H T B]

Great cross Chilwell

But, but, but he can't cross

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Maddison goes off injured :-(

Did it look serious? Bloody hope not

 

[Jeff]

Benalouane has been a lot better today. Maybe he just needed a run of games... (cue cock-up leading to a goal)

 

[Blue Maniac]

Did it look serious? Bloody hope not

Limped off after a whack on the ankle, somewhat overenthusiastic challenge from the left back.
