Itโ€™s quite alarming to see how so many people have reacted so strongly to the description of a Phil Foden pass. Itโ€™s really not that deep.

Erling Haaland already has as many headed goals this season as he managed in 24/25 or 23/24. He's also winning 20% more of his aerial duels than he ever has at #mcfc so no wonder his all-round game looks better https://t.co/XuELbscAGM

Two years ago Nunes wasnโ€™t taking his chances as a right winger. This time last year he was offering glimpses of potential as a left winger. Right-back only really began in 2025 and this season only after Khusanovโ€™s injury but he is absolutely flying

- Foden ran 12.76km alone and Bernardo Silva ran 12.73km alone against Liverpool. Only Foden (12.85km vs Everton) and Florentino Luis (12.78km vs Forest) have done better this season! - City cover more ground than anyone else so far this season: 1268.7km (115.3km per game) 2/3

How Donnarumma would fit into City's passing game was a relevant question when he joined. Turns out he'd just sit back and watch as the ten outfield players knocked it between themselves before Haaland finished it off

Txiki Begiristain said he found City's transfer window in 2023 'awful' and nobody really argued with that, but bringing in Gvardiol, Nunes, Doku and Kovacic is looking better and better

Just four of the #mcfc XI that were humbled here by Liverpool in February started today. But the biggest present for Guardiola in his 1000th game was that two of them - and two who couldn't get off the bench - were his best players today.

Guardiola: "I said to the players 'Don't do it because yesterday Arsenal didn't win. You have to do it because we believe in ourselves that we can play against the champions of England and show them we are able to be there with them all this season'. Today we proved it."

Pep Guardiola using the time taken from his #mcfc side going 3-0 up against Liverpool to get Bernardo Silva to pass a tactical message on to his teammates for the final 30 minutes. 1000 games and still relentless

FT 3-0. Manchester City have beaten Liverpool or Arsenal in a Premier League game for the first time since April 2023 - when they beat both in the same month en route to the Treble. Wonder if Gary Neville still thinks they can't win the league? Four points off Arsenal now #mcfc

Sacked in the morning, sing the City fans briefly to Arne Slot. It feels a lot longer than 11 months since Liverpool trounced City at Anfield and Guardiola had to hear those chants

HT 2-0 and #mcfc deserve their lead even if they have been helped by the officials. Doku excellent on the left, Nunes also great and Silva knitting everything together. Liverpool haven't offered anything beyond Van Dijk's header and will need to if they're to get back into it.
