Won everything in the air and played out of his skin, he was my man of the match for City but its worrying that Koeman was targeting him to have the ball though. We lacked that ball playing CB, should have moved Stones left as thats where all the play was going.
It's a fairly obvious tactic. Sane was his support and he's very right footed.
You only need one good diagonal coupled with one good first touch to turn him and have him with the totally wrong body shape.
Not so sure they ever pulled it off though. A left footed defender would always look to show the stacker the line, a right footed player needs to show them inside which become more dangerous.
Thought Otamendi defended excellently. We were one brain fart away from defensive perfection last night.
