From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Nathan Fraser: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Manchester City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Phil Foden in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Manchester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Marc Guéhi the difference as Manchester City beat Bournemouth

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Marc Guéhi. 2‑1 against Bournemouth, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Marc Guéhi

Marked 8.92 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

One of those days for Savinho

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.75, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Simon Green

Marked 8.53 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Loan watch

Teddie Lamb has seen enough of Arsenal

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Manchester City, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

No hiding place for Nico O'Reilly

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nico O'Reilly, and the manager let it.

Squad

Marc Guéhi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Manchester City, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief
