Far too considered passing backwards when the ball needs to go up. Ah well. Disappointing result and performance. But nowt to be worried about given the opposition. Real eye opener for the new boys. Tonali especially who was the pick of the midfield three. Bruno got better as the game went on but overall so much sloppiness against the best team in the world. We will get better as we go I am sure. Especially with Willock coming back and the new boys bedding themselves in.

Longstaff proper cursed today. I don't think he has done anything but give the ball away with every touch.

Which is essentially exactly what Man City are in the PL lol

Will be great to get Willock back up and running.

5mins

Its ok, its up the other end solo run and goal from him after this corner.

Longstaff not been at the races today.

Nice cameo from Anderson so far

Almiron gassed but also apparently our best player the last 10 minutes!

Very unlucky, nice move from Almiron and Anderson

If we leave here with 11 on the pitch thats almost a bigger achievement than getting a point.

Another wasted opportunity.

We are trying really hard but ultimately Man City are just toying with us lol

Not into those subs lol. Hopefully they prove me wrong!

Oh Bruno.

More subs coming on. Tino time?

Riding our luck here.

1 to 2 steps behind Man City at the moment still. Nothing coming off for us today so far.

In January

Foden was in God mode in that firsr half. Good half for Trippier. Bruno and Tonali have been ok. Gordon and our defence have worked their bullocks off.

Damn. Close by Gordon.

Exactly. We are playing the best team in the world and they are up for it. Our hope was they would be knackered from midweek but Pep has hyped them up and thrown down the gauntlet. They have picked it up so far. Hopefully they tire in the second half and we can take advantage.

To be fair he is just desperately trying to avoid a yellow and a subsequent FA betting enquiry.

Rude awakening for Tonali! Quite the learning curve.
