Not much wrong that half.
Bit slow Moreno trying to clear it and we got punished.

This.

Overall, thought we looked good over the half.

Moreno made a mistake, but as much good play by City.

Sturridge needs more support up front for sure.

[Flip Martian]

Apart from that one error by Moreno - and missing a bit of invention, we've more than equalled City in the first half. Games like this are often decided by mistakes or brilliance.

I don't think harping on about Suarez missing is going to make things better really. He's gone, we'll manage. We'll still score goals and probably more than most.

[Flip Martian]

Moreno seems very left footed - he was clearly waiting to hit it away with his left when Jovetic slipped in ahead of him.

Very poor by the new full back. But worse for me is how static we look without Suarez. No real penetration and Sturridge on his own down the middle is easily marked out.

Lot for BR to think about at half time. Hopefully starting with taking Johnson off.

This is why I think we'll start with Sturridge and Balo together.

Think Allen has been ok, maybe disappeared a little towards the end of the half but a definite improvement on Lucas.

Moreno's mistake there. Unfortunate but he won't do it twice. He's played well so far.

Aye, slow off the mark there and probably sent with his wrong foot. He also should have probably leathered it with his right upfield, but from the look of him he's looking a bit one footed so far.

He was waiting for it with his left foot. Something that Risse would have done.

All this possession football reminds me of BRs first season. Waste if time if we're not testing their keeper.

[Blib]

You'll get back into this.

I understand what you are saying but this is City we are up against.
They are a quality outfit.

Edited to add - anyone else think he looked level there?

This. They're no mugs defensively or anywhere else.

Has Demachalis had botox because he certainly looks different?

[PHuzzy]

Moreno making up for that earlier mistake with them last 2 tackles.

If by botox you mean haircut, then yes.

Good move, sliced open.

[Flip Martian]

Why oh why was our right back in the centre half position... FFS

Yep, game over.

Opened up like a tin of beans.

Time for a change BR, what you going to do?

[Flip Martian]

I don't like getting on players' backs but Johnson really should not be in this team. City attacking straight after their second and where is Johnson?! Ambling slowly back. Sheesh...
