Marco Silva

After they scored the goal, we reacted really well.

We showed that reaction, we showed that desire, we showed that attitude to challenge them and to challenge the game like we planned, like we have asked them to do.

Of course when we played against City in the second minute they had one moment, they crossed the bar, of course they shot the bar.

It's really difficult and they win the confidence and our team was a little bit in doubt in that period but after the goal we reacted, we equalised the game and always when they have the ball they try because they have that quality to organise.

Even in that period we had a good chance with

Gylfi when a good pass from Alex, he missed the reception.

Second half we spoke half-time and the second half was better, I think it was better.

We challenged more of them, we pressed a little bit more in some moments of the game as well in that mid-block.

Before they scored the 2-1 in that direct free-kick, we had a big, big chance with Mina to score the 2-1.

Even like we reacted after the 2-1 to them, two big chances for Dominic, a good moment from our left side, a good pass from Richardson to Guilfoyle and after he assists well Dominic in front of Ederson, we missed that chance and again after a big, big save from Ederson, Dominic lost the rebound.

We had the chances, of course we didn't get the most important thing in football but we got some positives from the game.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We spoke of time.

Of course, we didn't start the game really strong.

That first 20 minutes, maybe you respect too much them.

But after the goal, we...

we react and we show the reaction, we show that desire to challenge them and to play to equalise the game and after when you were equalised we played to win also and they were more clinical than us.

It made a big impact in the game, it was a key goal I think.

In that period they were really problems to create chances, every time we went there we were creating more chances, winning

corners, winning free-kicks as well every time we attack them, and at that moment, you know, always when the goalkeeper concedes a goal in his side in one free-kick is always a big frustration to him, of course we'll analyse with him during the week.
