Right then, I’m off. Here once again is Jamie Jackson’s match report:
And by way of bonus here’s Sam Cunningham on Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw with Leeds:
Pep Guardiola has emerged to discuss the match (though he spends most of the interview watching replays on a screen behind the interviewer’s shoulder). He too is repeatedly asked why City, who – to remind you – won the game to go top of the league – were so bad.
The chances were there. We created a lot. Make a fantastic game. We did everything. We had a demanding game three days ago. We played a really good game where we missed some goals. There’s no frustration. Why should there be frustration? We won three points. Of course we could do better in scoring goals but the guys did really well. The game was really well played in so many ways. Of course we could have scored more, but we take it.
He’s pressed to explain why this performance was so much less impressive than Sunday’s
I completely disagree. Because we made a better performance in terms of chances than on Sunday. The performance was really, really good.
