Some positives / negatives now

1. Turns out it was a missed opportunity but at least City burnt one of their remaining games.

2. One game closer to further reinforcements coming back ie Jesus, ESR and Reiss (for some reason the latter seemed to know how to open up these sort of teams before he got injured).

3. I get the feeling we might have been chancing Partey on Saturday and him coming off was evidence that all was not exactly right with him so he’s got another week to shake off whatever niggle he had or even start Jorginho vs Brentford….maybe stick the latter in an U23 game to get him up to speed or something.

4. In terms of who can improve best following the 2 defeats…that would be us. Hopefully it was the kick up the backside everyone (even Arteta) needed that things won’t go your own way and you must adjust and grind out the win. City are relying heavily on certain individuals stepping up and bailing them out of trouble…there isn’t the same level of team play and togetherness like with us. Lord Kyle Walker looks completely shot to bits…his legs still work and he can play but he looks like he needs a mental break from all this now.

Negatives…

That’s the 2nd goal in recent games we’ve conceded from a corner and it was another needless mistake…why was no one marking Tarkowski on the far post. The team need to sort this out asap imo.

And…United (regardless of how unlikely it is) are back in the title race conversation. At least for me they are…there’s no evidence to suggest they won’t go on another unbeaten run.
