Football Daily · Man City ease past Porto - 5 Live reaction · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

Something that's really impressive, I think, about Ellen Harland is his patience because as the game was starting, he didn't have a ton of touches.

But it all serves a purpose.

In some ways, it's a selfless striker because he's in a position for the way that Porto defended against him, as I'm sure the guys saw, where there were frequently two players right next to him, touch tight, trying to sort of like unsettle him, push him around and so on.

But given the fact that football is essentially a numbers game.

That means that there's somebody else on the pitch for City who is free.

So he's standing there and he's sort of occupying those plays to allow other people to have a level of creativity in a game which wouldn't be there.

If he got bored and said, I just need a touch, let me go and wander.

And I think as a consequence, he ends up having tons of chances created for him.

Because as I say, he's doing the job, which you know, for the way that narrative works, if he doesn't touch it for 10 minutes, it's like, oh, he's not touched it in 10 minutes.

But his impact.

He's probably bigger than somebody who would drop off and take ten touches and do nothing with it.

So yeah, credit to Haaland and yeah, to those two centre halves for City.

I thought they were excellent.

And even see Mark Gahey on the right hand side, like we're very much used to seeing him on the left.

I thought that worked as well.

So yeah, it's good to see that um the manager, uh Moreska, he's got two centre halves who are, you know, playing with that edge because they'll need it should they want to be successful in this competition.

Yeah, and tell me a story you've heard before about a team going to the Bernabeo and not coming away with anything even though they feel they've played played better.

You know, there have been so many teams that have done that across the years and

It's it's tricky to sort of manage this time of the season because as we see things, like this is who teams are right now, not necessarily who they're going to be.

You know, we can go back say two seasons, for example, and see that PSG was scraping into the playoff round of the Champions League when the new format was first created, but then they finished the tournament as the champions and deserved winners as well.
