and Jesus just got into the gap between them and those perfect crosses did us.

Gabriel Jesus had gone 487 minutes without a Premier League goal before today.

I said before kick off that when you play a load of centre backs nobody takes responsibility to mark players and there’s always gaps.

Then should have given McC a chance and not surreneder the midfield - gave them to much space.

That is exactly why I said we had one too many playing.

5 at the back brigade can pipe down for another week, never worked for everton never will.

Here's a fact for you, we never played well with 3 at the back

When Sterling found the gap we were 4-4-2 Zouma was right back

You really think we look like a “top side” ? We couldn’t string 2 passes together for 70mins, we made mistakes in both boxes and had 29% possession.

No Tel, but I don't judge a season on one game

Then should have given McC a chance and not surreneder the midfield - gave them to much space.

McCarthy has played something like 5 games in 18 months this wasn't where you being him back and we weren't out playing Man City in midfield regardless.

And had we hit the target we may have scored three or more. More than one way to play football.

He was supposed to be fit now per reports or should Scneids have been given a go?

 

[Plain Speaking]

The good chances were 3-3, Ricarlson missed 2. I thought Pickford could have done better. City took their chances. I thought it would have been more effective to have had an extra midfielder rather than defender.

Rather we played who we did. Schneids isn't arsed and McCarthy can't be tossed in for the hardest game of the season for a midfielder with no other matches.

 

[Ihaters]

Thought we played pretty well today against a monster of an opponent. Had plenty of chances, as we always seem to lately.. Just need to start burying our opportunities and we can start progressing again.

A good CF will make a huge difference to this team.

The midfield was wide open and they had so much space.

 

[riddick]

It's just so frustrating that we could have gotten something out of the match if not for massive cock-ups and beyond abysmal finishing.
