Not often I say it but the ref was excellent in that half, let the game flow, didn’t get card happy and the only one I thought he got wrong was De Bruyne diving to get a free on the edge of our box.
Decent half away at City, if we come out and play like that but tidy up our passing a touch, we have a chance of getting something out of this.
Elliott I thought did well in that half, getting back well to support Trent at every opportunity.
We can get in behind these too, we had three or four excellent breaks where we should have done better with the final ball.
Give Núńez at least half an hour.
Either get Jota in earlier or take on Grealish more firmly (.......which would have created more space for Jota once his defender collapsed in to help out)
He's a had a couple of terrible decision-making moments like that in the final third that could have easily seen us 2 or three up before City got their chance to equalise.
I just knew then we would come to regret those missed chances.

At least Jordan has taken the time to explain to the ref that Rodri is doing the 'Fernandinho high foul' to stop the counter attacks tactic and he is now on a yellow at least. It's important because the fast counter is our main weapon today. Nunez to come on too in the second half.

Decent half I thought, we need to continue as we have for me, but we need to be a lot more decisive and braver with our final ball and when we have opportunities to put a quality delivery in, the most disappointing aspect of that half was wasted chances to put one on a plate, with more belief and conviction. composure and willingness to try and play the right ball we could easily have scored 3 so far
The underhit ball for Mo that allowed Grealish to get back to him immediately before City then went and equalised was a criminal example of our playing too safe, not playing the right pass through fear of getting it wrong and wasting the chance, we need to be far braver and composed with our final ball second half
Over to Jurgen to make sure we're a bit better second half, make a lot more of our chances and opportunities to release our players and put a recycled ball in, get the win and another absolutely vital 3 points here today
