54' (Pen) Odegaard.

At this rate all our players will be suspended due to yellow card accumulation, but it's good to get that win.

I've been thinking a lot about the first two games and I have a few thoughts.

Havertz is there for possession higher up the field. He's big, a good defender, and wins the ball back in dangerous places. This means more XG, but also less chances for them to score. We haven't played anyone big yet, but we also haven't really looked like conceding. Exception is a set play.
I think this is all experimental, and you'll see some more experiments in the League and FA cups.
We'll be competing hard for all trophies this year, so people will be needed. You could field a XI that is totally different from the premier league one. This is when people like ESR and Trossard can make a case that they can't be left out of the premier league XI.
I think when Jesus comes back, we'll see more goals.
The set up he's experimenting with is the one to beat City. Beat City at home and we're in a title race.
