I thought we were good in the first half but as we've seen far too often this season we wilt terribly in the final 15-20 mins and find ourselves hanging on time and time again. Can't keep hold of the ball, can't get up the pitch and surrender possession over and over. It's cost us 4 points this week. Away to Arsenal who are top of the league - that can happen. But we've played vastly inferior teams than them this season and found ourselves hanging on at the end because we can't control the game. That's the next steps for us - being ruthless enough to kill the game when we're on top and then being able to keep teams at arm's length. |

People seemingly love to judge exactly where we are now like we’re the finished article: comparing us to the very top teams and then saying “they’re still some way off” - of course we £#%&!ing are. We were getting tonked 4-0 at Brighton just a few months ago. The progress and rate of it is very impressive. Of course Keane made his bed with all his Ronaldo horseshit recently so he’ll do everything to not climb down from that one. Quote:
It’s an issue for us away from home. We’ve got away with it during some narrow wins this season, but it’s badly stung us this week. Still, it’s just where we are in the process and feels more like details and finishing touches. By and large, we prepare well and play well in these games now. I said this week that I expect us to be set right and ‘turn up’ at Arsenal, even if that isn’t enough. It’s a far cry from the absolute mess we’ve been in recent years. |

The biggest positive is that Erik has got the expectation levels raised for us after less than 20 league games into his first season.
We can see what he's done already for the squad, there's clear game plans, he adapted to City's half time tactical change, albeit after they'd scored, but we came out on top. We and he both know he's not got the squad he wants yet. No point moaning about the same players week in, week out, until he persists with them because he wants to. At the moment, the squad isn't good enough but he's got a very good first XI. Levels of optimism for the summer and next season will vary based on who owns the club at that point! |

Neville and Carragher highlighting the lack of support for both our fullbacks, particularly from the front men, and Bruno completely absent for the 3rd goal leaving AWB 1v2.
Shaw and AWB hung out to dry facing 36 1v1’s over the course of the game, more than any other fullbacks in a single game all season. Proves how wel the pair of them did considering they were targeted. Tired, lazy lunge to cut out the cross field ball by McT, instead of moving over to cover the play, Bruno thinking he’s playing upfront leaving a knackered AWB against Martinelli and Zinchecko in acres on the right. All AWB’s fault though, obvs. |

Also one of the reasons we struggled to get out, we couldn’t get it to either FB to carry forward when we were losing it through the middle. Saka didn’t achieve anything when up against Shaw btw, the goal came when he managed to get onto Eriksen. Similar Martinelli v AWB, got very little joy. |
