Esteemed Kompany host Steven McInerney looks at 5 things we learned from Manchester City’s 3-nil win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening. The champions picked up a much-needed three points and looked more like themselves as they beat a quality Nottingham Forest side.
There was plenty to take from the game for the champions. Steven looks at the performance of Kevin De Bruyne at the Etihad. The Manchester City legend inspired his team and put in a man-of-the-match display. He gave Pep Guardiola’s side exactly what they had missed over his absence. The hope is now that De Bruyne can stay for what lies ahead.
The performance of Jack Grealish in midfield was a massive one for Manchester City. Grealish looked right at home in City’s midfield. The England international has the potential to add something that has been missing from City’s recent performances. There is poise, control and, of course, plenty of technical ability in Grealish’s game. Those attributes stood out on Wednesday evening. The signs are promising that City have now found another option to utilise in their engine room.
