Pep getting a little word in with Chilwell there....
We went there to do a job and did it well for the most part.
However I wish we’d have given it more of a go to be honest. We only gave it a go once behind which was disappointing. Too many backwards passes for my liking.
Agreed. Silva should’ve seen a 2nd yellowLet me get my gripes out of the way first. Man City are a dirty fecking team. Silva should have had three yellows and there constant fouls every time we got the ball have to be stopped by refs. They get away with murder every match and it really stops me from enjoying their positive football.
We were excellent. I wouldn't criticise any of them for that display. We just needed some composure at times which is understandable given their inexperience. We had two excellent chances that we snatched at.
If we back this manager and these players with a few smart additions, we're not far behind the best two sides in this league. Next season could be very interesting.
