My take on last night, for what its worth.

I'm not going to enter the debate on Can and Wijinaldum playing together in midfield - as you know what you are going to get from those two - and in my opinion they played their natural games in terms of covering ground and winning the ball back.

I was more disappointed with Mane and Salah. Throughout the whole game they were so narrow and not once offered a run down the side and in behind the full backs.

Nor did they pull wide, get the ball to feet and try and beat a player - time and time again Robertson, Can, Wijinaldum and gomez got the ball and saw nothing to aim at purely as they were static and narrow.

They made it far to easy for Swansea to defend . surely both Mane and Salah would back themselves to beat a fullback 1v1 once or twice ?

Agree with the thought of TAA coming on as Robertson was the only player who offered us some width .

A disappointing evening to say the least.

But to those who say the win against Man City was worthless. whilst I understand your point, it is actually crucially valuable.

Why was it crucially valuable?

they aren't catch-able, if we had been beaten by MC and beat Swansea we would have the same points. Either way you should always beat a team with -20 goal difference haha!

Agree. Should have been 5 points clear of
Spurs and Arsenal by now and on points with Chelsea and 3 behind UTD. That’s why the win was so vital. Now it’s a must win against Huddersfield and Spurs!
