I am tired of his diving. He did it at L'pool and he's done it at City. The slightest contact on him today for the penalty that wasn't and over he went, again. Referees know what he does and so will never give him the benefit of the doubt.
 
First half, Raheem was very good, very lively and put in some dangerous crosses. Very good finish (he only scores tap ins though) not as dangerous in the second half, but an encouraging showing all the same.
 
Totally agree and Jesus is the only one we have who decent at holding the ball up and occupying centre halves. I’m hopeful he’ll start there on Wednesday with Sterling right and Foden left
I'm hopeful like you Pep will have a tough conversation with Gabby and tell him that we need him up front. At least for certain games. He's done great on the wing this year but as you said, he's extremely strong and can hold the ball up well at the bare minimum. Phil has done fantastic there all things considered, but he doesn't have Jesus's strength/speed to get consistently behind strong/fast CB's.

Take his abysmal form out of the equation and comment on it as an individual game. He had a good game, the best of the front 3 comfortably. Looked to take his man on when appropriate, wasn't overly successful at it but the effort was there. he also worked tirelessly off the ball which is something that has been missing from his game lately. Took his goal well and was a threat from the right. A good solid performance. More of that will see him back involved more often.
