Jesus for Kev after 60 mins

We haven’t had chances... beside gundo not getting that first touch under control o don’t recall another good chance...

Sterling had a brilliant chance but let his feet get mixed up.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Not worried at all. We dropped off last 15 there, saved energy and allowed Arsenal to have the ball. They’ll be a bit buoyed by that, but we looked comfortable, let’s turn the screw 2nd half now.

Started well, Mahrez was superb at the beginning and Sterling’s header was superb... but some really sloppy passing and decision making in the last half hour. They were the better side for the last 15 of the half, a period where Mahrez and de Bruyne disappeared from any and all play.

All seems disjointed and like we’re missing someone playing centrally up front today. Saying that Sterling got into that position and he’s got to make it 0-2 when he was through on goal and messed it up.

Agreed. Mahrez suddenly never got the ball. KDB just needs to play deeper today and get his eye in

And has their goalie had a shot to save yet ??

Has ours ?

Electric first 10 minutes should have capitalised on it and finished it there and then, since then we've taken our foot off the gas too much and been generally quite sloppy. They have a threat on their right, can't keep giving them chances to put balls in and not expect them to find a goal eventually. We only need to step it up for 10-15 minutes and we can have this won and breeze the rest of the game. I'd be taking off kdb after an hour no need to rush his return when we have foden torres jesus and aguero all on the bench.

He is only 22, Sociedads best player last season, a couple of great season in Holland behind him and some great performances for Madrid especially against Inter in the CL. Would have loved him in this team

That is why I was interested.

RM isn't for everyone, it seems like it can be a poisonous atmosphere there at times.

FFS has played well
