then what's going to happen with teams like City?

People like Cherki and others, they're going to find these little spaces and they're going to prod and poke and put balls in the box and your goalkeeper's going to be under more pressure because you're sitting right on top of them.

But you're the better side.

And yet you're sitting alone.

And listen, City passed it quite well, but we've seen City, when they pressurised this season, cough the ball up.

Rodri hasn't always been as clean on the ball.

Bernardo Silva hasn't always been as clean with his passing.

But when you give players that amount of space and time...

to go and prod and pick a pass.

That's what they did.

They made it too easy for City, didn't they?

It was embarrassing.

When you know that City's biggest weakness is getting caught on the counter-attack,

you need to have a spark.

And there's nothing wrong at times sitting behind the ball.

Every team's done it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But when you get a chance of getting it, and then when you do get it, there has to be a spark and there has to be, you have to, you have to make the opposition somewhat, not frightened, but cautious because they know that you're going to get after them.

That was completely not, there was nothing.

Why?
