nice goals but honestly thought that for most of the match we were pretty average last night . Nice to see AOC & Keita get some minutes (lets just hope Keita can stay fit for more than 3 weeks ) however it left us very vulnerable and that was against the might of Genk. The defence still looks wobbly as it has all season.
However since we're top of league , won away in group stages of CL and won a LC cup tie it seems a bit churlish to be moaning .

I too thought we were dire in that first half, though we did miss several chances to put it to bed by half time. My whine is this - City will be able to put their group to bed with one more game, and can put the kids out for the last two games: we will probably need to wait until game five AT LEAST. We were given an easy group, unlike last season, and we've made hard work of it, apart from the first 40 minutes against Saltzburg and the second half yesterday. That all said, I do hope we send out the kids for that club world cup nonsense in December: I mean, who values that? FFS, United beat a team from the Galapagos Islands to win it if I remember rightly. It's not exactly The Super Cup.

Liverpool fans miss Champions League win over Genk after travelling to Ghent

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50166371

Two Liverpool fans missed their side's Champions League win over Belgian side Genk on Wednesday - because they travelled to Ghent by mistake.

Rob, from London, and Lee, from Leicester, spent around £200 each on train and match tickets only to mistakenly end up 95 miles from where the match was being played.

"When we arrived we didn't see any Liverpool supporters, which kind of aroused our suspicions," Rob told BBC Sport.

"Then we were sitting having dinner about an hour before kick-off and we said to one of the waiters, who was a Gent supporter, 'we are playing you guys tonight' and he went 'no you're not', and that was when we realised the error of our ways.

"We'd had a few beers so driving wasn't possible. Even if we jumped in a cab it was 150 kilometres away so that sealed our fate I'm afraid."

"When we arrived, we didn't see any supporters". Bet they thought they were City fans 15 years ago.

If we beat Genk at Anfield we are almost there. Salzburg travel to Naples that evening, a difficult place to go as we know.

You make some good points. I think in the main stereotyping is not good and shouldn't be done. So why do it? How do we know how Origi would feel about this?

Although it is a generalisation it has been said that if the person who is the target of a joke, phrase or banner thinks it is racist then it is.

Again I have to say that for once the club was proactive and condemned the banner before others. UEFA will have a say and we are going to have to accept any punishment coming our way.

I'm glad too that the club got in there before the story broke but honestly, I bet they had a laugh about it, Origi too. As far as stereotypes go, it's pretty harmless because it doesn't involve ridicule or hate.

Out of interest, John Barnes who has been very vocal on racism in football, long before it became popular to be so, said the Silva tweet comparing his teammate to an image on a sweet wrapper, isn't racist. He may feel the same about this. Which poses the question, is he a good barometer for these 'stereotype' situations?
