Weird feeling

Thats probably the best 45 mins we have been playing this season, considering it’s Man City

 

We probably deserves a draw, yet I know we can’t

Don't want to judge Tonali too much as we've thrown him in against Man City but he just doesn't get involved enough in or out of possession. It was exactly the same in all his games last year.

 

I still don't think he was the right fit for an Eddie team

:lol: It's fucking infuriating to still be here after last season. I'll never stop bitching about it.

 

Really need Mitchell to get on top of how we've gone about addressing the weak areas in the squad.

 

I don't know how many seasons we have to go with no right winger or reliable alternatives upfront.

Always looks like more of a transition player than anything else. Great at quick one touch passes, but doesn't really sit deep enough to be a 6, and doesn't carry the ball like you would want from an 8.

 

The dynamic of that midfield three with him and Joelinton still doesn't look like it will ever really work to me

think Howe has set the team up well but still too many of our players slightly off it, too sloppy at times 

 

the two yellows are disappointing, need to play aggressive against City but ref not allowing it

You can clearly see where we've copied Arsenal 's shape as we get to our box defending, albeit they were 5-4-0, and we're 5-4-1 when deep. Big Joe drops furtherest left to make it 5 across the back.  Narrowed it up and it gives them nowt into feet, except the goal. That one little lapse, it's why they're the best, but i think we've been decent.

Performance was OK which was expected really, always more motivated against the top sides.

 

Seemed to lose it a bit when City scored, confidence fell through the floor.

 

Cracking attempt from Joelinton on the turn at the end.
