Lamela has been crap but far from the worst. Dier, Sanchez, Hugo, Trippier have been equally kak.

Poch needs to switch to either three at the back or 4-3-3. I personally think Lamela needs to make way. He is having a shocker of a game, late to his tackles, poor decision making on the ball and generally poor execution on the ball. Lamela off, Wanyama on and allow Dembele to sit further up the field to take care of the City midfield and retain possession in an area we are currently nowhere.

It's exactly what they did to us at the Etihad. Ederson just picked his passes beyond our press and City were in an advantageous position. That's why pressing as a collective is so important and the men behind need to ensure they are pressing the players Emerson can pass too, but we haven't been.
Very disappointing start, we are much better than that showing. Despite that we are still in with a shout, we need to make sure City don't get a firing start in this second half and I feel that if we equalise we will go on to win but we have to be careful and not give them anything.

Definitely need to invest in a new keeper next season and pay Toby what he wants.

Despite a completely anemic first 40 minutes and two incorrect penalty decisions that both went against us, we are still somehow in the match.
We need to decide how we actually want to approach the game for the second half. If the plan is to sit back and hit them on the counter, then bring on someone with the pace to actually punish them. If the plan is to press, we need to actually press. Had absolutely no clear tactical approach in that first half, but if we can play anywhere near what we're capable of in the second then we can absolutely still get a result here.

No right foot. He was always going to need to take a touch onto his left. But even then he had the time to pull back to Eriksen.

I think we need to get more legs in the team second half, up the tempo, get to them quicker and have the ability to get around the back
