Well, that’s it from me. Make sure to head over to John Brewin’s clockwatch for updates from the 3pm games. I’ll leave you with Jamie Jackson’s report from the Etihad:
Thomas Frank comes out to speak to TNT Sports:
On the game: “Before our goal, without them dominating us, they were more on top in the game. But we stayed in it. We were solid, top mentality. After the 1-0 goal, we were more or less the better side. I’m very impressed with how we stepped up second half.”
On learning from the Super Cup: “The high pressure was consistently good in the second half [this time].”
On his squad: “I found a very strong mentality in the players. It was a group of players that have been through a tough season, ending on a high, those tough moments have pulled them even closer together.”
On pressure at Spurs: “I’m not on social media, I don’t think it does any good to anyone. I read very little in the media. Half of it is … I can’t swear. Half of it is wrong. Half of it is clickbait. I love football but the rest of it, I don’t care.”
On transfers: “We have a strong group of players that we believe in. Of course we’d like to add a bit. But only if we can strengthen the squad. The club is working very hard and I trust them.”
