Doku not putting any pressure on already. Surprised pep not changed him. Midfield needs help and it’s clear
 
Completely avoidable though.

Instead of carrying a counter attack, Nunes gets his touch wrong and it results in the ball finding its way out to Wilson.

These errors needs to eradicated if City want to climb the mountain again. Good performance so far. But City always look like they can be got at it if you attack them with conviction. Wilson has caused a few problems.
Football is a game of mistakes and giving the ball away, by default. It can’t not be when it’s played with a ball which is played with your feet and you can’t run with it in your hands.

The opportunity to retrieve possession from the opposition quickly and regularly is one of the things that makes football exciting.

Even at our high possession best from a few years back, every few minutes someone would give the ball away sloppily which is why we’d only have 70% possession and not 95% possession.

Fast football games like tonight, with both teams playing sharply and getting up and down the pitch very quickly, will see both teams giving the ball away a lot.
