A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 2 GOALS CONCEDED 🆚 MAN C

I have heard Pep and Jose say previously that a team must always stay alert or anticipate that a mistake can happen any moment. It is crucial to react quickly to mistakes.

The 1st City goal started from here in midfield.

1/5
Jorginho's mistimed pass was quickly pounced upon. City already had the numbers ready in midfield and once they won the ball, they broke quick. Our 4 at the back was exposed. Our midfielders could not track back quickly enough to support. KDB always needed to be tracked.

2/5
The 2nd City goal made me realise that without a doubt we need a world class LB. Emerson's a good player, better than Alonso but he is still not at the highest quality. This was all too easy for Mahrez to cut in - beauty of inverted wingers!

3/5
Having said that, few other individual mistakes could be called out here.

1) Was that pass from Kova really on?

2) How is Mahrez squeezing through Kova and Emerson?

3) Does Tomori need to be that deep?

4) Can Kepa do better? I was hoping for world class saves.

4/5
Against top clubs we seem to make too many individual errors. Don't seem to always play the full 90 mins. I can see that its hurting Frank and it hurts the team too. We know we can play great football for 90 mins but what is it against these top clubs that's blocking us?

5/5
