Great game! City were impressive, no two ways about it, and largely in control, though we had our moments and there were good signs for us despite the result. Lee O'Connor was immense and, as this is the first time I've seen him properly, I'm genuinely excited about the player he could become. Bit racist maybe, but I thought there was something Keanoesque about his performance today. Williams was rusty but got better as the game went on and he too is still a player whose development is exciting to think about.
Don't think we saw anything to say that our best players are not as good as City's best players in terms of skill and technique, but as a team we lack a bit on physicality at this level. But I would still give a lot of credit to that City team. Sancho and Foden were their standouts for me in this game and both are first year scholars, I believe, so fair play to them, that's quite impressive. The feckers
