Txiki yesterday: "We have a balanced squad, deep enough to compete in many competitions." Doesn't scream like a DOF preparing for a busy deadline day today. #mcfc

Grealish left as you'd expect from kick-off, meaning Doku is on the right. His last game there against Chelsea lasted 20 minutes before he was switched to the other wing. West Ham started well and could have been ahead a minute in. #mcfc

Almost feels like De Bruyne and Grealish have swapped position so it's Grealish inside and De Bruyne on the wing. KDB definitely playing more on the left this season rather than the inside right he's been so good at in recent years. #mcfc

Pep said before the Chelsea game that the only way to improve this City team is to improve each player individually, then they will be 11x better. Arguments to say Lewis, Grealish, Bernardo, KDB, Kovacic, Doku and Haaland (at least) have all stepped up so far this season. #mcfc

Pep wants Haaland to get more in the build-up. Haaland still thinks his main job is to stay alert and score. Both showed the other yesterday why they could be right. But a compromise on both sides is looking like it could be absolutely devastating. #mcfc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

On this.. 'Discussions ongoing' to find a solution for City vs Watford. GMP are very likely to want to avoid both City/United playing at home on the same night. But with City playing Sunday-Saturday, Wednesday feels the only option for them. #mcfc

Foden out of England squad as Pep very strongly hinted. Had hoped he would be back after the break vs Brentford next week. #mcfc

Pep said City wouldn't be very good in their first three games. De Bruyne says the squad have been shocked at how good they've been. So why have City started the season so well? #mcfc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

49.5 hours between FT vs Arsenal and kick off vs Watford. Can understand why GMP won't let City/Utd play on the same night. UEFA not helpful by moving Thurs game to the Weds. EFL seeding the cup draw to avoid clashes looks all the more shambolic. #mcfc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

Took a while to get there but common sense finally prevails. Fan power wins again, and credit to those who raised money to help before this u-turn. #mcfc
