Watched the first half and marseca might finally get his fullback in midfield gimmick to work because o’reilly is not a fullback but a midfielder. Overall city looked decent but the backline is shaky and could be improved, I’m not a big fan of the dias guehi pairing and more specifically dias. Even though i didn’t see the goals live cherki is utterly ridiculous and it’s funny that despite costing 100m less it was clear to me from day 1 that he would be better than wirtz. On palaces side the midfield was decent although the wharton and kamada pivot is missing pnp even in a 5 back formation. Wharton was the standout player for them although i was surprised with nketiah and how he was holding up and progressing the ball during counter attacks. Notable players: cherki, haaland, o’reilly, wharton
