Match reaction - Man City

[Özim]

The problem is we didn’t have a lineup we could have put out that we couldn’t expect to get beaten with

You have to go back over a decade to encounter a midfield as poor as this one. Even then we were over relying on one player....now we don’t even have that

I agree to some extent, but football is a funny sport, the superior team doesn't always win and you have to give yourself the best chance of winning, selecting Coquelin, Xhaka, playing Monreal as a CB and not selecting Lacazette was a shockingly bad decision IMO.

I agree that City are far better though, but I would always have picked Lacazette as he can always pop up with a goal, he's a goalscorer, just a really odd decision (unless the contract thing NQ mentioned is indeed true).
