Man City
The ending was just incredible, City did what they do best . First we have to give Bournemouth their flowers for the good performance they’ve put. City in the first half weren’t patient at all and treated the ball like it was a bomb, when they finally relaxed they were able to get the possession and wait for their chance. Cherki coming in changed the whole match with his simple magic touch.
Man City
City were better this game and won deservedly, even though it will be very popular to hate Maresca for no reason really, such is society these days. They had their chances and shouldve finished those, especially early in the game there was a chance for Haaland that he usually scores. In the end they still won so it wont matter that much now, and they will only get better as the season progresses. Especially with Bouaddi joining who is electric, one of my favorite upcoming midfielders. Cherki was great off the bench, he will probably get his chances now as well, maybe starting next week. But this game he was brilliant at least. So he gets man of the match for that. All the City fans doubting everything instead of just being patient with a new manager is truly something though, welcome back to the reality without the best manager in the world 😭😭 Predictions are too easy btw.
Man City
incredibly unconvincing city win, unfortunate that they didn’t drop points here but this did not restore my faith in maresca 😭
Man City
life advice: only ever watch the last 5 minutes of a premier league game
Man City
