Wouldn’t give any of them more than 3/10 today. Miley was our best player and he was only on about 30 minutes.
Once the APT rules are voided - sell Schar, Trippier, Willock and Dubravka to Saudi clubs for £300 million.
I can't think of a single player that turned up. It would appear Howe is saying the way they started wasn't the plan. He said the plan was to be front foot and aggressive, so either he's telling lies, the players just didn't do what they were asked, or Man City stopped them. Personally I think it was Man City stifled them and they weren't trying hard enough.
We have a habit of doing that. Starting slugglishly. We let them play - that isn't on Howe. It's the egos thinking they can do what they want.
It's always a concern when burn is moving backwards when passing the ball wide. It was like they thought they could out pass Man City and simply manage the game.
