- Manchester City is my team - until I fucking die.
A stale performance offensively; defensively, pretty solid with very few chances conceded.
Our wing play seems to die when B. Silva plays there; he's a talented player for sure, but we're much better with Sterling on the wing.
On the bright side we won the match, and gave some much needed rest to Fernandinho; Kompany too wasn't used which can only help. Diaz's short cameo was impressive. He came on very late when we were a goal up and had a chance to sprint forward with the ball which might have been a bit risky in terms of keeping possession. Instead he did not rush forward, opting to hold the ball. Also, Diaz was pressured very aggressively twice and retained possession both times. Looks like a thoughtful, skillful player.
MoTM - Sterling for me. A clutch goal, nice composed finish, late on to collect all 3 points.
