He's a little bastard that Sterling lad..
Chance lost in my opinion,City were shitting themselves and as usual we couldn't capitalize on it,it's almost as if we wanted them to win,need to win all our games now.
Loads of our players deserve credit today. They put in a decent performance against a very expensive line-up that will probably do the treble.
As for Dele, he doesn't need an arm round his shoulder at this point, he needs a massive kick up the arse. Token gesture shutting down and don't remember him putting a single sprint in for the whole game. Needs to be dropped for the Brighton game as if we are going to get a winning mentality, we need to ensure the entire squad knows what's expected of them regardless of their name. He put in a shift on Weds, but needs to learn that's expected every game. That's why Silva was MoM.
Gotta love Sky. There were 2 penalty shouts today from us. They still haven't even shown the second one's replay in the match or even mentioned it after. Pathetic.
He's been showing this lackadaisical approach for the best part of two seasons. Maybe you are finally starting to see what a few have already noticed.
I've lost count how many times we've let people have free headers in the box when we've been playing 3 at the back this season. Firmino got one a few weeks back for example.
Defensively this season I think we have been very poor by our normal standards under Poch and controversially I think Toby has been one of the worst offenders.
You know, playing the way Dele has been for us of late, Pep wouldn't even have a player like that on his bench. Foden showed more desire, speed and fight.
That's been the same problem for most of the season CS, free headers,tap ins,don't know why they don't address it in training,or maybe they do, Trippier is most culpable.The goal we conceded was an embarrassment. 2 x free headers from a diagonal cross. Subsequent similar crosses also caused us all sorts of problems.
