Weird goal, but City have been by far the better side in this half.

City gifted a goal

City deservedly ahead, poor from psg

There's a reason these guys aren't even top of the league. Their highs are high, but their lows are really low.

PSG chasing shadows here.

crazy tackle, so relieved the player isn't worse off though he's still down

Better to have it on mute than to listen to him. His punditry is US house league coach level.

I've got some music on just loud enough to dull most the commentary :p

PSG wall parting like the Red Sea there.

I'd like us to embolden Pépé and give him license tommorow in a similar way to Mahrez tonight. Mind, Mahrez has earned his fun through a decent defensive shift.

Mahrez has a much better first touch than Pépé. He also has a good ability to go to the wrong side, which always leaves defenders guessing as they are backpedaling. If Pépé works on these aspects, he can be extremely dangerous.

That rings true Claude. Just a casual speaking here but Pépé's body often seems unbalanced and a little too extended for a lot of his first touches comparatively. Re wrong side, I do think Pépé is a class destabilizer because the threat on either side but perhaps it isn't on the same level. Hope Arteta sees the dangerous potential anyway.

i remember when we signed pepe, i'd hoped he would develop to be as good as mahrez. still nowhere near him almost 2 years later. outside of robben and messi, i haven't seen anyone use their left foot as both a striking weapon and a tool to force the defense to hedge as well as mahrez. it's so simple looking and somewhat cheesy, but it's very hard to stop

Double nutmeg goal from Mahrez. Don't see that often. Terrific forward pass from Ederson.
