First half was sublime football, Silva back to his magic best, Nolito links up so well with players, it's just a shame he lacks the pace, could be a problem for him against top class opposition. Sterling oozing confidence. we need to take more chances though and at times we were guilty of overplaying it. Second half we looked disjointed and open but did well to see the game out. Thought Kolarov was yet again outstanding when he came on, showed Otamendi, who was back to his eratic self, how to be a Centre back in Peps team. Still not entirely convinced on KDB in his new role yet, hopefully it's just a case of him becoming accustomed to it as he looks stifled at the moment. Fernandinho, Gundogan and Silva for the derby hopefully.
Today there was no Bravo, Kompany, Sagna, Mangala,Yaya,Gundogan,Sane or Bony in the squad. Some will obviously be going but what a squad we have.
