I thought we were OK at the back. We conceded a meh penalty and a deflection. I don't feel City created too much outside of the other two goals (Haaland's 2nd and Akanji's free header) except that one Haaland chance that Sanchez saved. It's City, you're bound to create good chances, no-one can really stop you doing that but I thought we contained you well enough for the majority of the game. We weren't spared a hammering at all.

Correct, we were never in control and Chelsea were very good indeed, very brave on the ball and dangerous.
The city back looked shaky because they were exposed, simple as that, you put defenders under pressure with direct running and pace and they make mistakes.
Great game
 
Uncharacteristic individual errors cost us against a decent young team on the rise. Disappointed we didn't get all three points especially with City leading so late, but the result was fair on the balance of play. Can't help thinking though, that we need some younger blood to supplement midfield particularly. I'm sure Txiki and Pep have a plan.

No he scuffed the penalty spot before our penalty, jumped into the crowd after scoring his penalty, ran up to Pep kissing the badge and slapped him on his head, then him and Sterling went over to the City fans at the end of the game singing one step beyond and dancing.

Okay....I lied. Only the scuffing the penalty spot bit is true. He also made this stupid face after scoring his penalty.

He also listened in when Walker et al were discussing the free kick at the end.
