Here are some of your comments:

A good steady start. Will get better as the new players settle in and blend with the existing team.

Still not totally convinced that City are back to where they were. Defensively, Vitor Reis looked suspect and up front the team still need to be more clinical. Tijjani Reijnders was quietly impressive though.

Man City made an OK start, though the sending off of Rico Lewis soured things. Erling Haaland did get one shot on goal, Rodri played some minutes but the main threats came from Jeremy Doku, Savinho and Phil Foden.

New faces playing together in a real match for the first time. The defence didn't have much continuity while the offence seemed to move the ball well and created chances. Reijnders played well, Rayan Cherki will have to get used to the pace and Reis is going to be a great addition to the defence. I didn't really expect much besides the 'get to know you phase', but it was nice to see Rodri and Oscar Bobb getting some time.

Let's face it no-one is really that excited by this competition and the performance was pretty flat. Having said that, it's an opportunity to blood some of the new players so that's all good.

It was an average performance. Nothing too special from the new signings, especially not from Cherki. Foden and Doku were the highlights for sure and at the end of the day a comfortable enough win.
