If your not going to try things in a dead rubber like this when will you.
We started very sloppily but I think our speed and directness up front is getting to them.
I want to see Phil get 90 minutes.

And what s goal from Leroy. He’s roasting them on the left too.

Was just about to say we are worrying them at the back and will get our rewards.

I’m enjoying this.

Sanè proving that when it comes down to a choice between him and Mahrez, there really isn't a choice.

So much better at set piece delivery with gundogan.

N what a strike from Leroy who wouldn't normally get chance to take it.

First 20 mins were very sloppy.

Defending reminds me of peps first season. It’s so easy to get at us without f1 and Kyle.

Leroy and RHeem are both tearing them apart.
We’ve been a bit sloppy with the end product but I quite like the interaction between all the front players. Phil and Jesus too even though the final ball hasn’t come off.

They all play this quick shirt passing so naturally and I think the future is bright with these kids.

Phil will grow in this team the more he plays. He looks like he’s confident in his own ability.
It’ll come good for him.

It is not a thing that works in the system Pep plays. His tiki-taka needs fast paced wing backs, that is why Danilo, Walker and Mendy came and Zabs, Clichy, Kola and Sagna left. Playing Stones there will be clear that we can't be that dangerous on that side.
We are not top yet, if Lyon wins and we lose here, they go top. Lucky, things are going our way somehow so far.

Why haven’t we seen Sane do this before? In fact why don’t we see more long range shots from the likes of Silva, Bernardo, Sane and Gundogan? All of them have got a cracking shot on them

Is it though?

If Lyon win and we lose we ended up in 2nd place and our prospects in the next round become a lot more difficult.
