Squad

Omar Marmoush falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Rodri has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Manchester City will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

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.

Player ratings

Marc Guéhi shuts the door

Defensive actions: 36, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Rodri

Defensive actions: 31. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Gianluigi Donnarumma keeps Manchester City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Rúben Dias was immovable

26 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

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.

Squad

Real improvement from Daniel Harvey at Manchester City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Harvey is 16, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Whatever happens, Manchester City do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Words at Manchester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nico González is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rayan Cherki

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
