Positives out weighed the negatives
The team selection was fantastic from the manager. I think most people would have dropped Fellani. With hindsight I think this game more than any was perfect for him. Our pronged attack was a breath of fresh air at times with B-Jackson looking more and more the answer to our left hand side. His inter play, crossing and confidence is a pleasure to see.
️️Mata, Rooney and Lingard are elevated by our swift attack with Tony and B-Jackson setting the tone. Carrick coming back is a huge plus for the whole team, he just breathe a calmness throughout the game. Smalling is fast becoming a name worthy of any centre half from outer past. Swapping schneiderlin for fellani perhaps coincided with Chelsea getting on top with possession but considering they were the home side and in a faux position I don't think it's much of a reach to expect that. Our support was absolutely fantastic. |

Not sure why anyone thinks it was any good. If it wasn't for a couple of incredible saves by DDG we'd have lost by a couple of goals.
Up until our goal I'd have said it was a decent performance but we were truly awful after that. We couldn't put together a couple of passes let alone a decent move. We sat back and invited them to come at us and when we did get the ball we'd just smash it up with no outlet at all. That was suicide. And then you have Depay, possibly the stupidest footballer we've ever had. It wasn't a good idea to bring him on at a time when we needed someone with a calm head that would use the ball well. I guess LvG was hoping his pace would cause them problems on the break but it backfired massively. |

Bottom line - The manager bottled it. Thought he could protect the 1-0 lead. Typical vG. Positives from a game that killed off any remote chance of finishing in the top four? NONE.
How refreshing to see Leicester's approach to their game on Saturday.They went to the Etihad to win. Best away performance of the season. Sunday bloody Sunday. |
