We weren't spectacular but we weren't exactly bad either, there were spells when we lost our shape a bit but they never really threatened. Got lucky with their goal, thought Mignolet had done just enough but the shot wouldn't have happened if Wisdom hadn't been done so easily. Thought Wisdom had a shocking match, really struggled throughout the whole 90minutes, think that performance showed he is maybe in need of a loan spell to get regular football and adjust to playing at centre back. Johnson was a bit hit and miss again, starting to worry whenever he is in the line up to be honest! As for Downing, cack as ever and although Wisdom was at fault for the goal he wouldn't have been put in that situation had Downing not tried hoofing the ball in the direction of our own goal!
Kolo Toure impressed me again, think he could really prove City wrong in not utilizing him more, reckon he still has a lot left in the tank and he certainly hasn't lost any passion on the pitch, he looks desperate to score!
Was good to see Sturridge back and was really unlucky not to score, I don't get why he kept dropping so deep though, at times he was midway in their half whilst the midfielders were getting in the box.
Like I say it wasn't the best and wasn't the worst, an unlucky defeat in which we didn't deserve but it's only pre season and our only defeat.
Onwards and upwards into the new season.
