He's a winger not a wing back, they took his threat away.not really. who was going to stop sterling then?

Does he do press-ups on his fucking nose ?He's a ****.
I see him in the gym I use a lot. He does nothing particularly wrong there either but he just exudes ****.
Jesus was great, never stopped. Mendy got fucked by Mariner.Great 1st. Tired second half. Disappointed no reaction from pep as that could of been 2-2. Maybe he didn’t have the players on the bench.
impressed with Aki & fern back in the middle although his legs had gone.
concerns for me are still mendy & Jesus.
Jesus work is incredible & a good player I just think he spends to much time outside the box. When he’s in the box he can be lethal like he shown at the end. I just don’t see a top class goal scorer. I know many do.
Mendy is just not good enough & his pace has totally gone. A big worry.
very big win for city & deserved.
The shakiness of our defence is directly proportional to the quality of the press.
We were supreme in the first half. The positioning of Rodri and Fernandinho stopped their chipped balls into their wide forwards, where they build up from.
That slowed their passing and our press was superb.
We physically dropped for the first 15 mins of the second half and we gave up a chance.
Then KDB got megged and they score from a decent cross.
We then dominated the game through game management.
Ake looked really good.
Best I’ve seen Stones play in about 18 months.
The number 25 seems really good in midfield.
Jesus got battered and got nothing, but deserved his goal at the end.
Mendy I thought played pretty well. Very good positionally and some signs of progression in his passing. Sure, Traore got past him a few times, but didn’t do anything with it as he is Traore.
All in all, a really impressive first game and not one I was expecting, but really happy we have our mojo and more importantly, our press back.
