What’s wrong with Sanchez and Cucu? Are they injured?

I pity the away fans today, who have travelled with no direct trains from London to Manchester, to see that defensive line. Up front looks like what we would all want, bar division on who is worse, Neto or Garnacho, but that’s probably the best we have up front.

I know Cucu is injured but know nothing about Sanchez. Can’t see any conceivable reason to start Jorgensen otherwise.

Looks like we’re going long

Small muscle injury apparently. Picked it up during Bournemouth but played through it

Fofana has a fever.

Still 0-0, done better than I expected....

Is it me or is the rule changed at kick off that you give the ball to the opposition. I’ve noticed other teams doing it too. Kick the ball back to the keeper who then hoofs it to the opposition….never understand it. You have the ball, why give it away?

Can’t be true our players that passed long we always dropped by the word of the nincompoop formerly in charge .

Got a tear in my eye watching Malo Gusto hug the touchline

This ground is like a morgue, I've heard one faint city chant and that's it.

Reece having to clean up Enzo’s ineptitude again

Moving past Enzo like he wasn’t even there. Too common.

Cherki breezes past Enzo as if he wasn't there ...

Going about as expected so far. City dominating.

I can hear the fans chanting about some Roman Abramovich guy?

4/10 for the Gallic shrug from Reece James, his eyes are far too intense.

Thought they’re all just mourning the departure of Enzo.

Enzo marking Haaland at the corner. Odd decision from our set piece coach

Unable to play out and not pressing the ball this will be a long 90 mins

Early days. Fully expecting Enzo to put in a performance like "Basmati" Rice (copyright@Gol15 ), did last night, and win the game on his own.

Has the set piece coach gone with Maresca?

Subdued atmosphere

No he hasn’t.

Tell ya what, we ain't going to lose today.

I'm serious.

Why did Neto stop running alongside Gusto there? Just took himself out of the attack and killed any chance of an attack.

Think it’s quite a disciplined start so far. With all that’s happened, players doing ok. They’ll have to grow into the game and create at some point, but ok.

Wonder if we have enough in midfield. Must feel like a fresh start to Santos.

Also hope we see Hato back half of this season. Give him 5+ consecutive games to get up to speed.
