Firstly, by the end of the game our players looked knackered. But if a team like Newcastle with all their resources can plead tiredness for losing a game, I'm sure our threadbare squad is entitled to do the same. It was noticeable how our confidence was obviously boosted by scoring, it's just unfortunate we couldn't get a second before half time.
Secondly Jack Grealish. He's obviously a talented player but his main value is his ability to win free kicks. Patterson was yellow carded for putting his arm across Grealish's chest which caused him to, magically, fall forwards onto the ground and get a free kick. Referee was conned again. His diving has always annoyed me.
Foden's equaliser can't be faulted, he's a very good player often admired on here. The penalty decision was questionable to say the least, and wouldn't have been given against City (as has been shown in the past), and the 3rd goal was just due to a brain fart by Pickford when the game was already lost.
My MoM was Myko who was strong throughout the game.
So all in all a great effort but a game too far for our small squad.
