Brentford — Mancity 0:1. Afterwords. It was a quite tough game for cityzens and long-awaited labor win.
Ederson. Immediately started the game with more than good saves. And, from Dias, the most difficult one.
Joao Cancelo. Swiped the ball right off the line and immediately ran to the front of the goal. 3 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 takeaways.
Laporte. Habitually (?) put his head to the corner, but the stern VAR saw the criminal centimetres.
Ruben Dias. He tried to stick neatly under the bar of his own goal.
Ake. Pep just laughed at the left-back’s alleged problem. Not embarrassed overall, 2 tackles and 100 assists.
Fernandinho. Grandpa gently hinted to Vanyushka that he shouldn’t be so picky about the downs, otherwise they can become painful. He responded, clearly to the (unshown) red.
Kevin de Bruyne. Watching Kevin, it starts to seem like handing out goal assists is the easiest job in the world. Hitting the bar and overhead shots (and 3 rebounds) can’t be unmentioned either.
Bernardo. Took a Christmas break.
Foden. Scored somehow simply, even carelessly. But lots and lots of ploughing can’t be taken away.
Grealish. Jansson quite simply squeezed the ball away from him and tried to score from midfield. And with some chances… That was the peak of City’s 100million dollar advantage.
Gabriel Jesus. It would be better to see more use from City’s striker as well. Much more.
So Brentford — Mancity 0:1
