Positives tonight were that Gundogan played very well and we only looked dangerous when he had the ball. Kev for all those who think he's struggling laid two chances on a plate yet again both were wasted. Eddie, Dias, Foden all did ok.
Negatives were once again Pep not changing it until 70+ mins which was stupid given how we had drawn a blank. No good him moaning about stoppage time when we had wasted so much during the game - typified by Mendy not trying to keep the ball in and letting it trickle out for a throw which allowed them to get set and then he lost possession from the throw - you would struggle to see a part-time player do that, shocking. Not using Ferran who likes to take players on and could have been the x factor tonight. Both fullbacks and Ake were far too negative and played with cement in their boots, and once they got in a good position constantly picked the wrong ball. Rodri had his worst game for a while. Raheem and Gabriel totally ineffective and should have been taken off, both played as if they couldn't care less.
Simply put there is no way - even though we are still in the hunt - will we win the title this year. We have some serious issues to address and our players and the coaches are 100% to blame - not VAR, not refs, not the schedule, not the 5 subs rule. Man up and put in more effort, if you don't want to do that pull a Danny Mills and fake an injury. It needs to change fast and some need a long, hard look at themselves.
