Yeah I thought he had a really good game - I think so much of his defensive work goes absolutely unnoticed. When he leaves, we’ll play with a little more fluidity and will have someone who gets a couple more assists, but may very well concede half a dozen more goals a season.
….if you watch O’Reilly for City getting into those ridiculous advance positions, just note who sits in behind; Marc Guehi. Guehi enables O’Reilly to make such a difference for City.
Everton has a high quality left-sided player in Branthwaite, I’ve always thought he makes Mykolenko look much better when he plays because he’s so good at covering that left channel. It’s a huge waste that Branthwaite’s ability isn’t fully exploited to enable a high quality LB to play on that side.
I’m not suggesting O’Reilly levels of attacking threat but blend is so important, especially when you think what a difference a full back that is on the same wavelength as Grealish could make. Branthwaite allows that to happen, it could be a huge improvement.

I half agree - love Branth and the way he allows us to play in a different way - but O'Reilly is a good example because City's most vulnerable points at the moment are the space behind him on the left and Nunes on the right. They are great going forward, but as players who are actually natural 8s, so much less comfortable on the turn. I think there are very few full backs who are equally good offensively and defensively aren't there - and, if we did have a flying full back overlapping Grealish, we would be very vulnerable down that side, whether Branth was there or not. In short, we should appreciate Myko a bit more and not be seduced by the Marc Hottigers of this world!

Can do a job when supported and backs to the wall defending any kind of attack and he’s useless. Plays safe 90% of the time and usually goes backwards as useless as obrien as a full back

Played into the channel instead of safe ball backwards and a goal comes from it
Thought he was ok today.

Thought he wasn't as good defensively as usual against them because he didn't get much protection which he definitely needs. Got better as the game went on though.
