Guardiola: Torres still needs time

Guardiola was happy with Ferran Torres’ debut, but insists the Spaniard still has more to come:

“Yes, good. He’s a young player and he still needs a little time to understand what we want to do. He’s smart in the final third, with his passes. He doesn’t show a cross, he passes the ball.”

Director praises Palmer for the first time

Pep Guardiola has some words to encourage debutante Cole Palmer:

He’s a little shy, but it’s normal. He’s an incredible little boy in training. Two months ago, he showed us a lot of things. He has a good future in this club.

He’s a guy with a great finishing touch, like Phil. He had his chance to score. His debut in this competition against a team from the Premier League, it would be good for his future.

“Once again, thanks to the Academy for these players. We get players from the academy work.”

Player ratings

Steven: His kick was a bit erratic but he was always looking to redistribute the ball quickly and confidently enough to get out of the penalty area to cut the danger. Never stop talking with his defense. 7

Walker: A solid evening for one of Guardiola’s most reliable players. He merged nicely with Torres then Mahrez down the wing and most importantly made sure there was no repeat for Sunday – even if the Burnley players were trying their best to win the penalty kick. 7

Fernandinho: He didn’t have much to do in a arranged performance, although he had been paused when Barnes walked in behind him in the second half and shot. He moved to midfield after Rodri’s exit. 7

La Port: Vocal leader, comfortable in the back, pushing Mendy and others to move the ball faster in attack. How City misses him when he is not playing. 8

soggy: He improved so much in Sunday’s shock as he seemed more comfortable with Laporte by his side. His bid was smart, and it wasn’t his first time in a match. A nice reminder when City is chasing the left-back. 7

Playing around the clock

There isn’t much to report since Torres’ goal, as City only makes sure Burnley has no way of getting back into the game, and that they are not expending any unnecessary energy before a Leeds match.

Neither team would complain if the referee called full time now.

Cole Palmer plays very well

For the second time, Cole scores the goal and could press the goal, but he squared unselfishly by Raheem Sterling and Burnley.

Time to look at the bench?

Thanks to a double-goal cushion, Pep Guardiola may be looking to the bench to rest some of his top players before the trip to Leeds.

The city is in a good mood, Burnley is not

City is in the mood now, and Burnley is trying to persuade the referee to stop the match due to a “head injury” after touching De Bruyne’s hand in front of Burnley’s nose, which indicates that Burnley is well aware of the danger.

The question of whether they can stop that is different.
