Manchester City shines with an 8-0 win over Salford City, sparking comparisons between young talents McAtee and Foden

Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes were on fire, helping to dominate the game. Youngsters Divin Mubama and Nico O’Reilly even scored their first goals for the club. James McAtee stole the show with a hat-trick in the second half, though the crowd was hoping for ten goals.
Fans were loving it! One commenter, Gizzie, said it was a fun match with great skills from both sides. Salford was a bit unlucky not to score, but the younger players really shone alongside the veterans.
Pep must have enjoyed seeing his squad in action, figuring out who to use in tougher matches ahead. Fans praised players like Ake, Doku, and Gundogan for their performances.
Another fan, Lazerblue, was thrilled about the win and all the goals, saying it was excellent for McAtee, who’s been waiting for his moment. Steve2012 echoed that sentiment, happy to see youngsters getting a chance without any injuries.
Skps pointed out that while it was a great win, they need to be realistic about the squad. Some players might need to make way for new talent. Sandsoftime was particularly excited about McAtee, believing he’s got what it takes to be a star, comparing him to Foden.
Denlaw was impressed with Mubama’s energy and skills, hoping Pep gives him more chances. Portlock shared the same hope for McAtee and the other young players, seeing a lot of potential in them.
But not everyone was pleased. Yeeeees we kept a clean sheet felt some players needed to be let go, calling them injury-prone and lacking drive.
