Do we have 3 reserve strikers? In any case if it is to regain some form then why not play Mo for a half, he was very poor yesterday, terrible touches.
Though the front 3 were all poor offensively, yesterday. Were good in the press, but as soon as we had possession, struggled to string passes together. Salah looked like he had springs on his shins the way the ball kept getting away from him. Mane was shut down by 2 players every time the ball went anywhere near him, & Firmino was much less influential than he's been in recent weeks, despite the goal.
We certainly dodged a bullet yesterday, as Chelsea were worthy of least a draw IMO.
After not getting the 3rd goal early in the second half, when we had 3 good chances in quick succession, it always looked like being a tough finish to the match.
If we defend like that against City, we will get put to the sword, as they won't blow the chances Chelsea had.
A great result on a ground where we aren't historically great. We can now field youngsters & 2nd stringers Wednesday and hopefully recharge the batteries before the early KO on Saturday. A must win game before a tricky set of fixtures. Leicester, Utd & Spurs are all games where City will hope we can drop points.
A big month or so ahead before we entertain City in the crunch match.
COYR!!!
