Speed, speed and more speed.

Everything Man City did today was at speed and had purpose, they would have beaten anyone. I was disappointed with some of our closing down but quickly realised just how hard it must be to close them down effectively when they are just too good on the ball and at creating space.

For such a talented squad technically they don't half do the unfashionable side of the game extremely well also. I don't think I have ever seen us closed down and tackled so often.

Fair play to them, I don't like watching a match, seeing us lose 5 nil and still be able to take some sort of satisfaction from the match but today I did. I hope Man City fans enjoy it and make the most of it, for all their money it still takes some doing and wont last forever.

Lets see where we are after the Burnley match, that will also be tough b ut nothing like today, not even close.
