That was just a nothingburger match imho...Sterling was terrible, kev full of mistakes(maybe time catching up with him?), gundo and rodri utterly annonymous, bernado did nothing, Kyle walker is just all physicality and lacking brain.
The only standouts were laporte, dias, and cancelo(who was motm for me). Gabby did ok and scored a belter but what else was there after that?
I remember one of the first interviews pep did when he came he mentioned mentality, well he needs to take a look at his team and himself and start asking serious questions. This is suppost to be a winning team...not one that gutlessly sits off for a draw, at home, against a team without their main defender, and with a meandering CB on a yellow for a huge chunk of the game.
This city team is in desperate need of real pace and trickery. Sterling has a turn of pace but has zero confidence it seems and his decisions on the ball are awful. Also rodri position is still a big problem...he's workmanlike at best nothign more. We need real talent there and wingers who can actual run and be a threat. What is the point in sticking with the exact same main tactic when its seemingly so easy to play against(they played 4-2-4 with 2 bang average defenders). We need a REAL plan B not one where you make slight adjustments. This is pep guardiola we are talking about...rodri and gundo are his go to in a tough game??? FML.
Shocked at the match tbh we were like a wilting spinach leaf.
