I think it was pretty evident City were very unfit and a few players looked to be carrying some "holiday weight". They've only had 2 pre-season friendlies, so I expected them to be off the pace.
I think they'll struggle without the pace of Sterling and Jesus opening up defences to create chances. Haaland looked a lonely figure upfront for them... grealish and Mahrez like about 5 touches before releasing the ball and Haaland wants the ball immediately so they're gonna have to adapt.
I thought we were brilliant first half.. but we started to get abit leggy as the game went on. The pen came at the perfect time for us, knocked the stuffing out of them.
