It is great to see Navas settling in so well; if he keeps this up we are in for something special. Has any other player in the EPL ever scored two goals in the one match 91 minutes apart before? I realise this is an obscure point but I can remember really early goals and have very fond memories of some late in extra time (one in particular) but not 2 goals bookending a game from one player, defenders beware!

It is the first time I can recall a City match where we counter attacked with such pace. It was very Real Madrid'ish if I may say. If this is something Pelligrini is pushing for (I'm sure it is), then I can see why his teams tend to go far in the Champions League. I noticed the same Konrad.

It was a very interesting approach to see after many games in which we had the possession, but our slowly builder tactical attacks couldn't do much. However, I seem to be the only one who spotted this. Maybe I was watching a different game?
