What a result, City must be sick of us by now, if they go onto win the league it will be because they deserve it and NOT because we gave it to them, we are staying with them every step of the way, I would be shocked if they don't drop points in their next three premier league games. Let's see what happens, anyways back to the game.
First half we were all at sea to be honest it seemed like the players let the away atmosphere get to them and we weren't compact enough defensively and unfortunately didn't have much going forward. Naby did well to get in the box and get his goal, hopefully that gives him all the confidence he needs to push on, he did well for the penalty too, great little give and go with Mane.
Second half started much like the first we were on the back foot and struggled to get much luck going forward, think Trent wasn't getting wide enough and creating enough width for the rest of the team, probably because he was worried about going back the other way, but Milner and Hendo coming on changed everything down the right. Great move from the gaffer, we were able to get a lot more width and joy down the right as well as stretching their midfield and defense enough to get space down the left when we switched play.
Salah you beautiful human being, the goal in itself was F***ing amazing but the mental resilience after the drought his been on to go on a run like that and score speaks volumes about his confidence in his own ability and his mental resilience, world class stuff from Mo there.
Glad to see Hendo get that goal, the passion from the captain after scoring was clear to see and his interview after the game shed a new light on Hendo for me, I wasn't really aware that he fancied himself that much going forward, who knows, maybe we will see a more attacking Hendo coming off the bench in games to come.
Great performance in the second half from everyone involved. Let's keep believing, let's F***ing do this!
