Have managed to have a beer and collect my thoughts on this one.
We played very very well and if we had walked away with a 4-0 win then not a soul would say it was undeserved, some great passages of play and I actually thought we were pretty solid all over the pitch. But the tale of our season is profligacy and it's been a recurring theme that when we start missing chances this season, it all just turns a bit, well, rubbish really.
After the penalty miss, we looked out of shape and nervous. Passes going astray, slowing down our movement with and without the ball and genuinely just causing our own problems.
Zinchenko was decent until his brain fuck of a decision - surely it entered his head he could just keep a bit of pressure on the runner without trying to barge someone over? Soft yellow but deserved.
Strange choices of subs as well, aguero one was baffling considering Sterling, Mahrez and KDB were offering absolutely zilch to that point - the last thing we need with Sterlings current form is to play him as a false 9.
Walker gets pass marks, best I've seen him in a while but the joking and laughing after boiled my blood - we've all said at times the team looks a bit rudderless this season without Kompany and that was a prime example.
Decent performance, shit result. Leagues been over for months but as others have highlighted - Madrid wont exactly be fearing us watching that.
Enjoy the rest of your Sundays if you can blues.
