Positive so far. We are not seeing a lot of the ball, but when we do get it how easily we give it away  is frustrating.

Kante is not good here. 

He never is in this role, but according to so many on here he's a world class box to box midfielder and always has been. 

Well so far so ok 

Pedro is useless.

If we’re set up to counter attack, why is Pedro coming back inside there, run at your fullback and take him on.

No out ball

That's twice Zinchenko has fouled. He can't have too many lives left

 

That’s better blues

So much for attacking football eh 

Sarri is being flexible with his approach, surely that's a good thing?

Can't we play the same way with Hazard on the wing and sub one of Pedro or Willian for Higuain? We have no out ball with this false 9 crap.

Well this isn't Sarriball.

No one's ever said that I'm sure. He just can't handle the ball in a small space today. 

Some of you really just moan no matter what had we gone at city get ripped apart you would be blasting Sarri now he's taken a different approach fans still moan jesus Christ the guy can't win

this sarcastic commentator is doing my head in, Alan smith said city are turning the screw, is it restricted view up the gantry you twat ?

There's me thinking Aguero and Hazard 2 shots on target each at 10/1 was easy money 

Aguero's shot there wasn't too dangerous but if Kepa was to spill that there were 2 City players attacking that. 

I’m actually really happy with the way Sarri has set us up today. If we went toe to toe with city again they’d smash 6 past us again. We have to play on the counter. My only complaint about it is the personnel. At least he seems to be learning from drubbing we took.

It was only a joke. Sarri did the right thing by playing it safer. 

Luiz come on..

I'm fine with the more defensive approach too, but this false 9 was never going to work. 

We have no movement in front of the ball holder, no wonder the ball goes sideways backwards,

hit it ffs
