Jesus is getting carded any minute now, they're using his own tricks against him.
City are having a lot of the ball without really being all that dangerous at the moment.
Chance for a break, but Gvardiol tackles Saka very well.
Saka playing like shit so far.
very dusty start by us. suppose we just have to ride this out but our transitions have to get better. we're just hoofing it
We can't seem to break their press at all. We are so bad whenever any team high press us
Long balls are terrible.
Jesus is so deep defensively and doesn't have Martinelli's pace to quickly transition from defence to attack.
Pepe LeFrits left side is a mess. Kiwior looks nervy and Jesus isn't offering any sort of out ball
We're playing too directly. Need to keep the ball a bit.
Qwiss I think that's why City seems to be targeting our left. Kiwior is less effective in starting an attack, which means whenever we regain possession, we're ceding almost straightaway.
Qwiss Kiwior looks nervy and Jesus isn't offering any sort of out ball
City are happy to let him have the ball
Ake looks possibly done for.
Rice looks knackered. Looks like he just played a 90m midweek champions league match
Clrnc bloody Southgate
Clrnc thought it was just me. he's very low intensity so far, jogging at times
They are trampling over us
Ake getting subbed. Lewis coming on..
playing jesus seems like too risky a move tbh. I know trossard hasn't been great but jesus always comes back from injury looking all over the shop
Gazza M think Jesus would be fine if we were offering more outlets further forward. At the moment, he's having to dribble out by himself.
Don't like this injury. Rico Lewis will step into midfield better than Ake
