I'd get Bravo off now, been utterly appalling, almost gifted them another goal. pot

Of course, how to ruin a new keeper for the rest of this season already, he needs trust in his potential and himself.

We're the better team yet I can still see them winning this with Martial and Rashford. Our pressing might lose intensity in the 2nd half and their pace will be dangerous. I'm a nervous wreck!

 

[welsh_andy]

they will push forward now, will give us even more space, we bossed game just silly lapses let them back in

Nice to see Bravo getting support.. His first 45 in a new league, away against the rags.

Team needs some

Superb first 40 minutes then gone to pieces at the back, gifted them a goal, Stones almost gifted them an equaliser with a poor pass....I'd get Bravo off now, been utterly appalling, almost gifted them another goal. Thank god for HT, Pep will be raging with total lack of composure in last 5 minutes...defence gone to pot

Take him off...I don't think so.

shit mistake by bravo but how can anyone not appreciate his passing. Will be a top player here

 

[dubblue]

awful from bravo and comparisons will be made....

hart would have punches that well clear.....flattening everyone in his path

great with his feet but will have to adjust very quickly with how to handle crosses in the prem league........

overall we have completely out played them but sometimes games aren't decided by that....lets hope this is not one of those occasions as we certainly deserve to win it.....

sane on for nolito for me ...he would murder them on the break and there have been numerous times where him instead of nolito would have led to a very clear break

I agree,Nolito's lack of pace has hindered some threatening attacks but he does a good job defensively.

KDB best player by a distance.

It has been a fantastic performance. One of the most emphatic and dominant I have ever seen. Everybody working hard, coordinated and very good on the ball. De Bruyne has clearly been the stand out player and Iheanacho has fitted in well and does not look out of place at all. It is an awful shame that we gifted them a goal at the end there,which has changed the complexion of the game, something that should not be happening at this level- it destabilizes and frustrates everything the players have done so far. The keeper has to do better next time.

But there is still another half to go and we have to keep on going- maintain the same intensity if possible and be more decisive in the final third. You cannot fault the performance apart from the obvious howler at the end there and we should see this one through if we maintain this level in the second half.
