he highlights of the match are now out (in BillBC at least). As noted earlier, big G (Donnarumma) made no saves. None at all. It relates to what I wrote last month. Stopping at least one of those shots should be trivial.

Even if you make fantastic saves sometimes, getting the basics right is critical.

If it’s of any solace or consolation, the team played well.

There’s this video rant about Donnarumma

t was expected to be a tough match. It was also an “open” one and a decent one to watch.

I was talking to my dad throughout the whole match (2 hours) and ManCity actually played very well, it was also unlucky and the opposing keeper was superb. Manchester City’s keeper conceded all shots on goal.

Manchester is still on top (of the PL). When it lost to PSG it actually played very well.

In football, the better team does not always win, unlike in tennis, baseball, basketball, handball, volleyball and so on.

The best team can, however, win a league. “Unlucky matches” get averaged out.

omorrow there are some events here, not limited to a concert many young girls (now in their 40s or even 50s) have longed for. There is also a match in Birmingham around midday the following day. ManCity is still undefeated this season, no draws either. How long can this winning streak be sustained?

Aston Vila is ranked second in UEFA Champions League, so an away match in Birmingham will be a huge test for EnzoFC.

Meanwhile Manchester United (Man Utd) is in a state of crisis.

I feel bad for Manchester United.

They used to be so good.

O Foden will make the morning’s headlines (also two assists by Lewis) and this short video summary shows a solid win despite my worries (about benching great players).

I heard a couple of these goals (third and fourth for City) when night-jogging around the stadium.

ManCity will soon play Brighton and Hove Albion at home, twice in 3 days. Brighton has been in good form (many goals), so this won’t be easy.

HE latest (or next) Champions League match is just an hour away. The lineup is like Pep with his bizarre “Experiments” in “Lesser Important” matches. Enzo puts forth NOT his very best: Donnarumma, Lewis, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernández, Allan, Cherki, Foden, Samba.

Left ‘benched’: Guéhi, Haaland, and Doku.

What sort of coach leaves Haaland on the bench for a Champions League match? Haaland scores almost half of City’s goals this season.

If City wins, the press will hail Enzo’s “courage”.

If City does not win, Enzo will have all the excuses in the world.

he flags bearing the word/s “RESPECT” are up and some broadcasting trucks are nearby (we ran past them today), probably in preparation for tomorrow’s match.

The Greek club is no PSG, so hopefully an easy 3 points for the locals. Too easy or too early to guess?

anCity seems unstoppable. From almost 4-1 (pre-VAR) it turned into 3-2 and almost a draw.

There are lessons to learn.

his is looking like another season for City to “put in the bag”. They are appealing the verdict and, for now, they prove their worth.

Enzo has a flawless PL season so far. The tall Norwegian makes it easy for him.

ecently, on at least 3 occasions, I showed how BBC was ignoring important news and football news about ManCity to constantly ‘incite’ against ManCity.

I don’t know if – or to what extent – other broadcasters do or did the same.

They created an atmosphere wherein everything about ManCity is negatively rated, e.g.

It’s even more obvious in other such updates.

fter a very difficult battle or late-night war with PSG (ManCity gave back a good fight, proving potency) Manchester will be the host/hostess of easier clubs visiting and even away matches won’t be too challenging.

This coming Saturday in the afternoon there will be a rush. Tomorrow at noon we talk about the Court of Appeal while ManCity management likely discusses its appeal to the High Court.

We can kind of relate to those stuck for years in the legal system, including ManCity.

Once a person or entity gets accustomed to it the whole thing becomes more routine, there’s no anxiety anymore.
