Yeah, probably. No evidence of that in today’s game though. The opposite, if anything.

Because he can.Why is Cancelo wearing the number 7?
I don't know how people work at City, but playing only 2 matches before the Community Shield (and thus 3 before the PL begins) has to be considered a disaster of a preseason on its organisation for them.
Definitely. Would be hilarious if he's a dud at City. Doubt it though.
I can also never get over what a weird looking fecker he is.
These teams are banging into each other like the shield matters.
Haaland will bang in 25+
Nunez maybe 10

Been isolated, not on the same wavelength with the team, they've ignore runs. His touch hasn't been great
Pep trying to make him fit his philosophy I guess. Like our Bruno though, he seems more of a chaotic sort of player than a system one?
For a £100m signing, Grealish has been shite at City. Gets away from any media scrutiny too.
He will probably get on the score sheet regardless but if Nunez was putting on a display like Haaland today his thread would be hopping.
Thiago is unreal. What a player!
Rashford #10 ?
Haaland looks so sluggish and clumsy when he’s trying to win the ball back. Mad that Pep used to marginalise Aguero for his lack of pressing but ended up with Haaland.
Sterling > Grealish
But...that's how much he cost? I think you're reaching with that one.Matterface on Nunez: “the £64m man”.
Scousers and the scouser-fellating media, name a better duo.
Southgate called it
Why didn't De Bruyne play Haaland in?
I am worried that if City sell Silva they have a weaker team than Liverpool.
Earlier talking about how they're not spending money and blooding in young players such as Carvalho........who they bought.Matterface on Nunez: “the £64m man”.

It's a disgrace.
Offside.
Because he was standing about 5 yards offside.
Because he was at least 5 yards offside?
De Bruyne is getting grumpy. Haaland moving like a rock.
Interesting watch so far. Liverpool are tried and tested and just doing what they're usually doing.
Surprised how poor Haaland's link up play has been. Grealish got into good areas but his final ball has been poor. Given they've unloaded Sterling and Jesus and who knows how long it will take Alvarez to settle in I think they'll be needing some big seasons from Foden and Mahrez in final third. And probably hoping Belgium go out early in world cup so KDB isn't flagging in run in.
It's easy to forget they were only 10 minutes off winning absolutely nothing last season and squad in final third is weaker so see if they make any more moves in the market.

Grealish off. Will be a bench option this year, I swear.
DeBruyne getting annoyed with Haaland, he's a great player but he has a tendency to whinge when things aren't going his way.
boring game.
They’d be mad to sell him. Ironically the only way they could benefit is if they did a swap with De Jong. Even then silva fits them better.
Alvarez coming on. Seems more suited to City style. Wish we could have bought him
I’m worried they do already. Haaland will be super awkward to integrate and Sterling will be a big loss. I also think Zinchenko has been a really useful player for them. So weird to let important squad players sign for rivals.
To be fair to De Bruyne, Haaland has to make an effort, the guy was miles offside and didn't even try to move to get himself back on side or stretch the Liverpool back four. Shocking stuff
They all seem to love him.
Nunez diving already. What a tramp.
What a dive
Haaland will be Pep's Ibrahimovic but without all that talent.
Lukaku offside
I sincerely hope this season continues in this vein for Grealish and Haaland. You might look good in the Bundesliga but the PL is a completely different kettle of fish.
Henderson is so poor. Can't pass.
That true ball to Nunez is what Haaland craves but you don't get that in Pep ball.
Alvarez must be 5'5''
