On the whole it’s only our pride that suffers as a result of this defeat. Doesn’t change anything but it’s still not a good feeling being given a pasting like that.
Mixture of a severe lack of concentration and them being clinical. Some bizarre performances from us with some of the things our players were doing...in particular Robbo and Mane. The worst part is that rat Sterling scoring against us though.
Gomez got taken to the cleaners by Sterling, Firmino May as well had been off the pitch, Ox and Gini were miserable. Generally the only players to play anywhere near a decent level were Keita and probably Williams and Hendo.
City were up for this but had Salah hit the net instead of the post it could have been so different.
Hats off to KDB though, I think even if we were at our best then he’d have still ran the game, he’s a formidable player and probably the only player in the world I’m gutted we will never have playing for us. Man of the match by a long shot.
We were given a pasting, just like Watford gave us not so long ago. Expect to see a much different line up vs Villa.
Oh and on the plus side, at least Gabriel Jesus was just as bad as our lads.
