Manchester City 1-0 Coventry City - the fans' verdict

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday’s Premier League game between Manchester City and Coventry City.

Here are some of your comments:

Manchester City fans

Michael: Satisfactory performance by City, but made to work hard for it at times by a plucky Coventry. Several outstanding performances, especially by Anderson with his remarkable 155 passes.

Arthur: The one true decisive moment of quality from Man City proved to be enough, great pass, great cross and a great header. The rest was not good enough and in the second half Coventry gave them a lesson in how to put good balls into the box. They were unlucky to not come away with at least a draw. City need to sharpen up, or it will cost them in the future.

Steven: So many new signings needing to get up to speed and familiarity with new players will always take a little time. There is always too much expectation but nine points from nine to start with is all that matters.

Prince: Something is still missing with this Man City side. No swagger, no fear. Any average-to-good side will beat them every day. With over 70% possession, they only won by one goal. Coventry were just unlucky.

Coventry City fans

Darren: Best performance of the season by far – we were unlucky not to score. We move onto the next with the positive performance we have put in today.

Jane: Quicker progress made at this level than I expected. Keep it going and we’ll be fine.

Jack: Much improved performance from against Arsenal in the first game. We had some great spells of possession and had some real chances to score. Ethan Pinnock really bolstered our defence. It was a good decision from Frank to play three at the back. Brighton at home next week is a winnable game, so all we can do now is prepare properly and build on today’s performance.

Mike: Great game management and substitutions by Frank, but just came up short because we didn’t take our chances.
