I think the whole City team coasted, didnt get out of second gear apart from to commit the odd foul, we played well, but i think it was as well as City let us
Guardiola disagreed.
I agree though, we offer zero going forward now. That's our issue. We just didn't offer a threat. We toiled and worked hard but created one chance.
I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and say I'm upset, I'm not in any way arsed that we lost. We at least got a decent performance but we really are toothless. And that's as much on the powers that be as it is on Silva and the players.
At the back, we looked generally more solid. City never really got their game clicking into gear in the final third, a few moves aside.
But set pieces again. And while Silva has taken responsibility and said (again) that it needs work, he's right to say it's now a mental thing with the players. And I'm sorry, but that's on these players as well. Nobody else can stop them being fragile other than them. What Silva should do is offer protection, as much as possible, in terms of picking a new way etc, but he seems to be trying several different ways. The common denominator is the same players making the same errors.
