I thought Ota was his usual Warrior self, but at times, Stones looked like a newly born giraffe.

Hopefully he'll regain his confidence very soon. Several times I noticed he needlessly passed the ball to Bravo, when a Stones full of confidence would have brought the ball out & distributed forward.

Stones played well today

I thought Stones was the more commanding,with Ota,while putting in a strong showing,was always looking like the inevitable mistake was about to happen.

Two more firsts for City today.

We became the first English club to win five consecutive trophies and Pep was the first manager to receive a yellow card.

Barely any records left for us to break.

Mostly, but several times he looked very shaky & short of confidence imo mate.

Posting that last one must have hurt you to the core!

Dippers on social media now claiming Jesus winning penalty was illegal , something to do with his run up , they are starting a petition and an all night candlelit vigil outside the town hall.

I dunno mate... If you look at him closely, several times Stones had opportunities to bring the ball out of defence, & setting up attacks from deep. His confidence is that low he kept turning round & passing back to Bravo.

He needs a run without any pressure to get his mojo back. He's a brilliant player just going through the mill at the moment, but I'm sure he'll rediscover his confidence & be back to his commanding best..... Well I hope so!

How many millimetres was Van Dijk’s crossbar effort from crossing the line?

Enough

 

[Impeccable One]

Mahrez out

Contributed less than Gundog

Stones can definitely play better,i agree.Once Laporte is back i honestly believe we will see the beginning of a very successful and long term partnership.
