My second visit to the Etihad of the season and a first. I'm not sure I've ever seen City score 7 before. When was the last time City scored that many? I can't recall us doing that since the 10-1 victory over Huddersfield in the 80's.
But I'm not sure how good City were. Norwich seemed to allow City to play and didn't really do anything in the game. I'm almost left asking if they actually turned up? They were awful and I've no idea what their game plan was. It wasn't to sit back and get men behind the ball, there was no attempt to use pressing and get pressure on the ball. The result was that Silva, Nasri, Aguero etc had plenty of time on the ball to do what they wanted. This inevitably meant a hammering for Norwich.
I'm not sure there's much point analysing how City played. Defensively there was little to do and in attack they showed what we know already. Given plenty of possession and time on the ball, they will score a lot of goals with the attacking firepower in the squad. I doubt they will get as much possession and time again this season.
Finally, has Yaya found his favourite place on the pitch? If City get a free kick there again, there's a good chance he'll score again.
