Decent first half that.

Poor old Gundogan though, he'll be turning in his grave :-O

Oh well. :-(

We had a good go at it :-(

I am not sure i agree. Football is a game about momentum and we failed to capitalise on ours.

I don't mind scoring first and winning the match 1-0.

Terrible 2nd half

Nor does anyone.

Scoring first, missing great opportunities to score more, then ceding control and losing 2-1 is less desirable.

I doubt Guardiola's teams have lost many games 1-0.

To be fair 2-1 is looking very generous now.

They cheated by dropping John Stones, imo.

To be fair, it's unclear that a 3-0 half time lead would have been enough for this second half performance.

Typical spineless display the moment we go behind to better opposition. There's just no character in this squad, no leadership.. All now walking about waiting for someone else to do something.
All hopes now pinned on a Giroud equaliser..

Actually I thought at 2-1 we started to play again. Partly because they took their foot of the gas and partly because we had nothing left to lose.

Well a bit anyway

Oddly enough, I think we would have gone for the throat at home. Hanging on for a 1-0 away win would've been fine and that seems to have been our setting today. It's all about perspective, innit. First half, we're ahead and our defensive shape is alright.

Just a shame *they* scored twice :-\
