Lol we're going to give that but not the one on Cherki in the first half. What a joke.

we got work to do, but I like the progress we made.

Outside of Donnarumma, good 2nd half from the lads. We had lots of chances in the 2nd half and could have had a lot more than 2 goals.

Looking back at it, we didn't give up too many big chances, but PSG just had quality and converted all their opportunities.

We ended up winning the xG battle by quite a bit, and that's with the PSG PK at the end of the game.

And Maresca got the subs right at halftime. The CB pairing of Guehi and Khusanov was great, and the game looks so much different when Nunes is in at RB. We are so much better going forward with him than Khusanov out there.

Bouaddi looked really comfortable out there.

We play Ipswich in 3 days. The games are coming hard and fast (pause). Game every 3-4 days until the next international break. The depth is about to be tested.

Just got home and watched the game. Pretty ugly on defense, got picked apart badly. And Donnarumma continues to be suspect in goal, imho. Game should probably have been 2-2 draw if he makes those 2 stops. Enjoyed seeing Haaland with a brace, at least.

Dominant first half aside from the one Ipswich goal which you have to tip the cap for - was a perfect pass and strong finish.

Expecting to wear them down second half and pull away.

Haaland too strong.

Ipswich making it interesting late

How the hell is there 12 minutes extra?

7 PL Ws in a row!

Hopefully Haaland isn't too banged up

Couldn't watch but was it our back line again being rubbish?

Ew possible Haaland injury

First goal not so much, credit to Ipswich for a beautiful long pass and strong finish

Second goal was PK from Guehi getting beat and fouling in the box.

Brighton looks really good. Theyre going to be a major test

Arsenal created 0.00(xGOT) before Madueke’s goal in the 80th minute.

Arsenal continue to play poor soccer and be the luckiest team in Europe going back to last season. Madueke's shot was right at the keeper but took a slight deflection.

BREAKING: Antoine Semenyo is expected to be ruled out for "probably" eight weeks due to injury, says Enzo Maresca.

Damn, that hurts.

Any updates on Haaland?

BREAKING: Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly, Mateo Kovacic, and Erling Haaland are all absent from #ManCity training this afternoon.

Antoine Semenyo is also missing as he begins an eight-week injury lay-off, confirmed earlier by Enzo Maresca. #UCL

Enzo Maresca: "At the moment, it's Erling [Haaland]! Why do we need to think about a different No.9 when Erling is there? Then, if something happens and we need a different plan or different nine, we'll see..."

— City Xtra (@City_Xtra) October 19, 2026

Phil Foden is a solution for #ManCity in the No.9 role as an alternative to Erling Haaland, says Enzo Maresca.

Maresca: "He played in the past in that position, so he can play there now again. But, again, at the moment, the No.9 is Erling..."

Haaland not at training but Maresca saying it's all good. Not sure why Halland should play against AEK Athens tomorrow. We'll probably need him for Brighton x2.

Oof, really hope Haaland is ok soon. I like Foden but he is no Haaland.

Seeing tons of debate online about the penalty they will get. The worst one thrown out there is a 20 point deduction per season for twenty years. That pretty much eliminates their ability to win the league. If they have a bad year they will get regulated. With 40 pts being the magic number, this pushes them to having to get around 60 each year to stay.

The Daily Mail article by Holt saying he's hearing something like enough deductions for 2 years to keep us in the Championship for 2 years along with hefty fines, is probably close to what the league wants to do.

If the appeal process fails and the resulting legal challenges to the whole process City owners will bring to the High Court most likely all fail, then I think that's probably about what we would be looking at.

City is too much a cash cow for the whole league and it's in too big to fail territory. Which means the League basically has to hope they can come across as appropriately harsh to the rest of the league while still not upturning the club to complete disaster.

Cherki is just so smooth with it.

Foden found his scoring touch. He needs to be more central. It doesn't quite come off for him out wide.

He hasn't always played against the top competition, but Allan continues to pleasantly surprise me.

Hat trick for Foden. He really needed a game like this.

McAidoo continues to be awesome. Hope we get to see more of him while Semenyo is out.

He's one of our own!

Might be the only one that won't bugger off if we are in the Championship for 2 years.

Just one of those games where nothing is coming off for us

Guehi and Donnarumma were bad on Villas two goals

Guehi wasn't in the game for the 2nd, but you're right that it was another stinker for him. You know it's bad when a CB is hooked at half.

A goalkeeper would be expected to save this 94% of the time, according to xGOT. pic.twitter.com/9ucBRc3QpC

More Donnarumma sadness.
