I was out for the day today (deliberately as I couldn't get a ticket, and I hate following a stream, or worse an internet commentary), so I have just watched the full game. My biggest feeling about the game, was that we played much simpler football, not trying to force things, and consequently found it much easier.
A back 4 v 3 at the back, back 4 is better, and we kept a clean sheet.
Players who get no end of shit on here played well, in a back 4, Fernando and Kolarov.
Gundogan had his best game by a mile, playing further forward, not playing alongside Fernandhino who was back to his (simple) best.
Sterling on his best side, the right, had a good game.
Silva, without KdB looked great, KdB without Silva looked good too.
Aguero has clearly been told to work harder to play in this team, and as a result looked superb today.
So much to be pleased about, compared to the last 3 or 4 weeks of passing for little end purpose, today we were shooting whenever an opportunity offered.
So much better than the last 3-4 weeks, really enjoyed the way we played.
