Go around him and it’s at very least a pen
Feel that we have a chance to win in the second half.
1) City most influential player De Bruyne is out.
2) we can afford to be more offensive in the second half.
3) we actually created more chance than them, only for the heroic of Laporte and Ederson to save them.
4) take off either Alderweireld or Vertonghen for Llorente and play 4-4-2.
5) wanyama in to replace Dier for greater defensive shape

Luckily, it didn't happen.
Where's the fun in football if hypothetical situations that didn't happen were all that was talked about?
Thought we defended, goal aside, very well that half!! And had the best chances, could be 3 or 4 up!! Had Lucas gone down we should have got a pen.
Very bad communication for their goal, Toby steps up, whilst others stayed back. Other than that their chances have been weak efforts from 25yrds.
Coms I'm listening to is slating Dier but his actually playing well, not supersonic but a steady game, standing in the half spaces, forcing City out wide (yes that's where they are dangerous but we have on the whole limited them to very little).
Lucas is having a great game, as too is Eriksen who are really scrapping well (winning the ball high up the pitch and linking things) and it's Lucas's movement that is creating spaces for Son.
Best player for us is Dele, who started slowly but after 10mins but he is now our key outlet ball (short pass) from defence to joining our attack, he is also supporting our attack well too.
We will lose this, as it has will be no doubt one of those games where we have the best chances and take nothing from it, seen it all before.

No. He has not been invisible.
As someone in the comments on twitter pointed out, we must have free players everywhere with him doing that to so many muppets. Yet we didn't actually get anything out of it
Back us in the second half. Their most important player is gone and if we equalize I can see them losing their heads.
Like the look of Wendys 'Biggie Bag'.
But we should be allowed concede. That’s one costly mistake
We’ve created 3 clear cut chances and missed all of them with poor shots.
That’s 3 costly mistakes.
Agree on Dele
I'm finding myself agreeing with that guy who pops up every now and then who says that you can really tell how much someone knows about football by whether or not they rate Dele (and his performances) or not.
Proves my point that if he Dele doesn't score or assist, some people simply don't rate him.
The fun is if he actually creates something with his skill set
The delusion is real
Nandrolone so for steroids twice. I have no doubt in my mind he and others do stuff to players that breaks rules. Agency's can never keep up with doping it's to easy to avoid. I'm a big fan of powerlifting and train and compete myself I know a few people who juice and pass tests that say they don't. If they can avoid testing positive I have no doubt a team with the resources of city could get away with it if they want
Yeah, I suppose he’s been instrumental today too
