The midfield need a rocket up,the arses at half time or hooking off. Such a lack of quality in the first half.
 
Playing Guardiola's City reminds me of those games against Mourinho's Chelsea during Rafa's time.

They're better than us but that's not enough for them - we really get under their skin.
 
Annoying all our chances fall the 1 person too, just shows our lack of intent from our players unless your name is Mo Salah
 
HT ratings:

A Becker - 6 - probably should have saved their goal, but overall, ok.

TAA - 2 - worst player in the pitch. Beaten by the same trick time after time after time.
Robbo - 3 - Not much better than TAA, beaten by KDB a few times.
VvD - 7 - solid
Gomez - 7 - solid

Fabinho - 5 - not impacting the game enough
Gini - 5 - not done much
Hendo - 4 - poor.

Salah - 7 - 3 half chances and not hit the target yet. He'll score 1 or 2 in the 2nd half if he plays 45 minutes.
Bobby - 7 - good work rate & had our only shot on goal.
Origi - 6 - needs to be be a bit bolder.
 
Becker and Gomez both a 5 for me otherwise I'd agree with the rest.

Matip to start against Norwich please
 
Actually hasn't been too bad. Lots of positives considering who we're facing.

I think this is exactly what I was expecting given our pre season and previous matches against them.

Be nice to see Ox or Keita put in a good performance second half
 
Get Keita or Chamberlain on.

No point in a pedestrian workhorse midfield when they're not fit.

Concern that the only cover we have for Mane is an out of position Divock. No surprises there.

Salah looking very sharp
