Brilliant defensive display, piss poor attacking display once more.
I know they’ve been on a good run but we’re giving them too much credit here, they’re a decent side not a great one, United and spurs both beat them comfortably away a win was expected.
We had the chance so at the end to settle it comfortably but they came from southamptons desperation more than our good play after the goal we had maybe 2 good passages of play until the last 5 minutes when they went gung ho.
Dias and stones was once Loren outstanding, I don’t think there’s a better defender on the planet over the last month or so than stones. Walker very good, cancelo had a tricky task but stood up to it very well and Ederson was alert and came when he needed to, I be there the defence are buzzing with that clean sheet.
Kdb should have been hooked off, looked jaded second half. sterling did absolutely nothing again aside from his goal but it’s hard to criticise when he’s scoring. Bernardo was excellent throughout although guilty of two poor decisions not to shoot, he did well upfront but was even better on the right. It took me about 15 minutes to remember mahrez had come on which sums up both his impact and Torres too who was just as anonymous as sterling.
What happened to Foden? He was stripped ready to come on with mahrez then it didn’t happen. His refusal to make subs is getting on my nerves now when we’re crying out for fresh legs.
Take the result, take the solid defensive performance but yet more attacking issues.
