SuperDziek Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Could run out of superlatives for this guy. Thought he was excellent tonight, he glides around the pitch, tackles, hardly ever misplaced a pace and great positional awareness. He’s going right to the top (with us, hopefully!)

All teams can and do concede goals that they could have prevented and that happened to us tonight. Gayle got between two defenders which he’s excellent at and headed in but it was the quality ball in that should have been headed out. The second goal was an unlucky drop for City and that can happen to any defence. Not necessarily ‘weak’ as you put it. Just a combination of a quality cross and an unfortunate drop of the ball.
