Foden looking much more effective tonight now he's switched sides with Bellingham.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Foden's best game of the tournament by a mile.

 

[YoungWolf]

We look like a genuinely good team now. Waiting for it to fall apart but why has it taken so long?!

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

If we can just get jude into the game now....

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Surely we won’t dominate the 2nd half like this so could do with another before half time.

 

[The Bear]

FFS Mainoo, out to the right!

 

[sycophantia]

Decent game, best we've played so far.

 

[PuntsWolf]

This is a good performance.

Think it helps the Dutch aren’t parking the bus, but are still not very good.

 

[YoungWolf]

Change of shape for them will probably take us an hour to work out

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Mainoo is having a cracker!

 

[The Bear]

This definitely looks a good setup for us. Both Foden and Bellingham sitting behind Kane and roaming around the half spaces when the wingers need support. Allows Mainoo to get more involved too with Rice sitting.

All we need now is a decent LWB.

Come on jude get some second wind lad

 

[Squeak]

I see Pat Rice is on the Dutch bench...

 

[The Bear]

Come on jude get some second wind lad

Different role for him tonight. He's having to sit higher and further left, particularly out of possession.

 

[Squeak]

I'm probably jinxing this but this looks like a Man City performance against pretty much the rest of the Prem. Good first half. Much more like it.

 

[YoungWolf]

Enjoyed that. Will need to create a bit more and just be a better bit preventing counter attacks but so much better overall

 

[Jinky]

Is it too much to ask for a couple of quick goals and a comfortable win second half?

 

[The Bear]

I'm probably jinxing this but this looks like a Man City performance against pretty much the rest of the Prem. Good first half. Much more like it.

I wouldn't go that far as our left side of attack is still an issue. Trippier isn't a left winger and Bellingham isn't a left sided deep lying forward.

Luke Shaw needs to come on sooner rather than later.

 

[Del Woppio]

Much improved, got to make it count. I'd be getting Shaw and Watkins on

 

[Lycan]

Dutch will change it at half time, need to react to whatever they do fast.
