Szoboszlai <ok>

With most of our forwards on the bench I was thinking he'd need to step up in an attacking role today.
 
Interesting that City aren't allowing de Bryune to take Freekicks, used to be all over them. Looks a telling sign that he's off in the summer and City don't really want to use him unless they have too.
 
Two goals up at half time... I'm happy.

Play counterattack against a team as good as City and you'll eventually concede... But two goals is a nice cushion to have
 
Next goal is massive imo; 3-0 and it kills them off, 2-1 gives them hope and our nerves kick in

Doku has caused a lot of problems for Trent who can’t seem to handle him. Can we keep a clean sheet? I’d be very happy if we could
 
Can we keep a clean sheet or score three more?.

We need another as it's never staying this way. They have too much space and pur cbs are too fond of following players out.

City have a 3 on2 or 3 on 1 with trent if they could pass it quick enough but then double does the same things all the time and hits nothing.

Their best chance is exactly what they did. Pull someone out and pass into the space for shots.

Put slot changed it fairly quickly today.

We were 424 and he just dropped Jones to cm and he's stood there since making an extra body to **** some of the space down.

We need to pass it ourselves though. Can't keep doing the same stuff and waiting.

We passed it once and went end to end and nearly scored so it does show what can be done here.

Trent not aggressive enough with him but Doku has been very good on that side too tbf.

Trent needs help, Jones or Zobo on that side would help him but don't really want to see us change the shape either, especially with Zobo, he's been superb so far.
