We've played far worse than that this season and won comfortably, a lot of our general play was fine but simply not good enough from our front 3, they've cost us that. Sterling abysmal, all his worst qualities on display today, should have been hooked a lot sooner, Jesus at least was threatening when he came on. Foden was dangerous at times when he got on it, by far the most dangerous of our attackers but wasn't on it enough. Grealish was just there, the same as I would do with anybody else playing false 9, I give him some slack because that position doesn't favour anybody but we're still waiting for him to win us a game, never looked like doing anything.
Those wanting to blame var, are looking in the wrong places, all calls were correct.
That's not a point rescued, that's 2 big dropped points. Assume Liverpool win their games in hand, (Leeds and Palace) the gap is down to 6 then, it's 1 loss away from potentially putting it in their hands with us still to play each other. It's a poor result at exactly the wrong time, that's going to reinvigorate the scousers. Week off should re-energise, I expect us to start ruthlessly putting teams to the sword when we're back in action in response to that.
