think that's what he brought me in as well like to make big saves like that and and there that's what he's renowned for is like just being like making the saves that you don't expect them to make and then gross confidence through the team but you mentioned gay he one of the things I love is a defender he just gets down the line in the ball really really well and it's the most obvious thing in the world when it's pointed out that's what all defenders do not really like if you can get down the line of the ball when people are shooting on the right angle and
You generally block more shots because if they're shooting across you, don't open your legs, you take the hit, you trust your keeper at the front post and Gay, he's brilliant at that.
He just gets in between the ball and the goal and he's like, if you're going to score, you either have to go around me or really shift it and move me.
but you're not shooting through me or you're not shooting nearly around me to a certain extent but also my goalkeeper at the front post is one of the best shot stoppers in the world so you can have that shot but you're not getting it through my legs or shooting across the goal but I also thought he brought a calmness to them as well because that got hectic for Man City from the 45 minute mark onwards to probably around the 80th minute
They were struggling to get any foothold in the game.
But he sort of kept them in it to a certain extent.
And he kept his composure in these defending when it was all hectic around them.
He sort of kept his composure.
Like you said, he made some vital blocks, defended his box really well.
But Liverpool will be kicking themselves, Stephen.
But the big save from Donnarumma is the reason they brought him in.
And then coming for crosses, I don't mind that he comes for crosses because I know he's always coming.
So I can hold my line accordingly for that.
I can leave that gap and go, actually, I can squeeze up an extra two yards defending the box because that comes in over my head he's coming for.
And whether he punches it 30 yards or 10 yards, the fact I know he's consistent in that is where I can base my defending office as centre-back.
Yeah, and when they did gain it, they looked the better team.
They were able to work it out.
With City playing that time in the midfield, I always felt the outpasses were, once grabbing Berkshire McAllister on the ball, just feed Kerkes and feed Slobber Sly into them spaces and that'll get you up the pitch.
It'll get you 20, 30 yards up the pitch.
Man City's midfield then have to drop and then they can come out and play through Gavin Burr's McAllister again but they didn't do that in the first half and then in the last 10 minutes I was looking for Liverpool to have a little bit more composure than they showed and again swiping at things
