Same old story, really poor when put under any sustained pressure this season.
That's a result of how slow and methodical our tactics are, it leaves us the wrong side of the ball or standing square on when the ball is given up.
We aren't good enough to mount a rearguard action without not conceding.
Eddie was terrible for their equaliser, got caught under the flight of the ball, regardless of Dias being outjumped.
Bernie gives us legs but our midfield this season lacks drive and penetration and he is unable to see a quick pass.
It's why Gundo still stands out when he tried to play quicker or a forward pass, because he and De Bruyne are the only people who are capable of doing it, but they can't cover the ground like they used to.
Haaland must be an astounding pro, because I would have chinned Bernie and others for their reluctance or inability to at least try to find him.
Much more of this, and he will be ran in to the ground or out the door in the next couple of years.
It's a City team which needs a huge injection of drive that can power the team forward.
Walker is finished at the top level and fell to pieces again when asked to defend this season.
We need full backs for both sides, and a hugely creative ball player next to someone like Bellingham.
At the very least, a sub or two from Pep, who doesn't make changes when it is clear the momentum is with the other team, is increasingly apparent this season.
