Didnt kuns shot get saved by the keeper, and the he gets a yellow for calling the linesman on it

And all the Mahrez doubt makes me laugh, probably the same duds who didn't think Silva or Tevez were good initially. Has more class in his boots than Sterling and Sane. Whipped in about 4 world class crosses at the end, something only De Bruyne can do in our squad. Will enjoy the humble pie eating later.

Poor, that. Really poor.

Gundogan was anonymous. That double pivot with Fernandinho just doesn't seem to work.

Complacent passing & got punished.

Anyone would struggle in the Fernandinho role the way we played tonight to be fair, he was having to mop up so many errors.

Thought Gundogan and Silva both had really bad off days in midfield, which had the biggest impact. Having said that, no one played well.

And? Why is that deserving of a 'but'?

I agree with a few of the things in your post btw.

Because it wasn't a case of us breaking them down in the usual way. An Ederson assist isn't something we can rely on.
If not for that once a season type set piece I reckon that game would likely have been a slog

Some had doubts about kdb if I remember correctly

No they didn’t, I watched their game and the only noise came from the PSG fans, not saying our atmosphere was any better but it wasn’t any worse as far as the home fans go... !

dont even give him the satisfaction.

Lost last 4 champions league games, 3 of them at home!

Not sure why Gundogan is being singled out again. Fernandinho, Delph, Walker were all pretty poor for me. Sané changed the game but we could have just as easily taken Fernandinho off at that point. With Mendy still injured I'm not really sure why we didn't start with Sané tonight, especially when it meant playing with Bernardo in the right when he's played really well in the centre.

We had an off day, but I'm pretty confident we'll still top the group.

Because Gundogan was totally and utterly gash. He was the one passing sideways and backwards all game mainly to players who were put under pressure immediately.
Play us like Liverpool do by pressing in central midfield with a bit of pace and we fall apart.

Should hopefully prove to be an irrelevant defeat.

Will act as a wake up call if one were needed.
