That was very poor.
This midfield has to have the ball, it is not built to be chasing. Rodri and Gundogan (who looks a stone overweight again)look slower than they have all season because they are having to chase runners too much. If it is going to continue like this Fern has to come on.
We need more from our creative players. Apart from the goal, we have barely put anything of note together. Too much slow backwards passing with very little cutting edge.
Dortmund are a decent outfit, and better than most of the sides we face week in week out in the Prem. That being said, they aren’t one of the strongest teams left in the comp. A better side will punish the lackadaisical attitude we have shown in that opening 45.
Step it up City.
