A good result but not performance. We are so far off our best it’s scary.
Pluses, I thought stones looked pretty good, Eddie and Fern ok. Kev played well in patches and Mahrez showed class for his goal. Cancelo showed some good touches but not consistent. Phil and Gabby showed what we were missing in term of energy when they came on and were a major reason we saw out the game.
Other than that......is Mahrez a luxury player. For every piece of class you have to endure at least six misplaced passes or running down blind alleys. Mendy was absolutely woeful in the first half. Stirling? Wtf was that performance about. Watch their goal from where it starts in their half and check out our press, especially Kun. It’s truly not good enough. We can blame injuries all we like but that doesn’t excuse Stirling and Kun’s work rate today. A poor performance to put alongside Wolves and Norwich. Phil must be a starter.
