Thought we were very good, took out foot off the gas a little and they took advantage, but despite ten men we closed the game down very well. Very high work rate, back to winning ways, what's not to like.
Still searching for that ruthlessness, after two we could have pushed for that third and tucked the game away, but didn't. Would love Kev back but I am starting to wonder if we need one more playmaker even with him back.
But the most pleasing things for me, asides from stones and rodri back, are that Haaland scored and Doku looks like adding the end product to his game is achievable.
I won't speak too much about the referee. I won't say that he got things wrong in terms of bookings although the stats do look very odd, and my feeling is that he did evidently apply different interpretations of fouls to us and them. Doku and Foden both got a few whacks without cards being shown, milner should have been booked and yet again is not, and that Igor escaped a yellow then got one 5 minutes later for a less severe challenge, so if the ref had applied the same rules to both we'd have been playing ten men for the last half an hour rather than down to ten ourselves.
But we still win, as pep says nobody gave us anything, we did it ourselves.
