Yeah, I think the ball comes off one of the defenders, and Caicedo just makes his run anyway, hoping it gets there, and it does, and he headers it into the back of the net.
Yeah, I mean, it's tough enough to go and play on that type of surface.
But when you're actually struggling and there's no real cohesion, you're kind of unsure of each other all the time.
And it's really tough, and it showed.
And you saw Bora Glincide, who read all the bounces, read all the second balls, and then took the chances.
As much as it is a shock, I just think people should understand that when you play on that surface... So you're giving City a pass?
No, I'm not giving them a pass.
I'm just saying that everything conspired against City.
Mostly the way they've been playing and they haven't been together in the back line.
But you shouldn't discount how tough it is to play on that surface.
Yeah, everything can... You stick at all those things that we've been talking about and the thing you've just talked about, and it shouldn't be a huge surprise that they struggled.
Yeah, they should still win the game.
This team hasn't won... They should still win the game, but I just don't think you understand how tough it is on that surface.
And the answer is no, because as a player... They didn't fancy the fight then.
As a player, when you step on that field, you go, oh, gee.
Can you imagine if they go out and bought two proper centre-backs?
