Not a great performance, yet more proof that 2 or 3 really shouldn't be getting games anymore, but the biggest concern for me is John Stones. We need him to be the Stones from earlier in the year but he's come back from injury like the Stones of last year. He is absolutely key to us this year and hopefully this is just rustiness, as in the past two games he's gifted the other team goals with some absolute pub team defending.
Bravo as well, just looks like he's shitting himself, he clearly needs a move to regain his confidence. He didn't do anything hugely wrong and it was a nice ball to Kev for the goal, but he's all the way back on his line and on his heels all the time, almost like he's hiding from the ball and it's just so far from what the team are used to with Ederson. Ederson is constantly anticipating the ball coming to him and on his toes, Bravo is the complete opposite.
Yaya is just a waste of space, Gundogan went back to being completely invisible, while Sane and Sterling both had one of those days where their end product was awful and endless promising moves broke down on them.
Was actually pretty pleased with Bernardo, he probably should have had 3 assists if Sterling had stuck his two one on ones away, along with his now trademark lovely dipping cross for the winner. Kev was excellent, as per usual.
Yet again shows though that you can't swap most of the team out and expect the team to function properly, especially if you take out the two most important and unique players in our team (Ederson and Dinho)
