Yup, Harrison can't be on both sides. It's Ayling on the right. And it looks more like a 4-5-1 to me.

I don't think we should be too hard on the lads today.
Citeh are irresistible when they play like this.

Shocking and poor defending by Firpo on the cross.

That's generally what he is, he wouldn't even be much use in the Championship either.

Look at the play again. He was split between defending two men. Probably should’ve overcommitted to the near one, but I can see the issue he was confronted with.

That’s why I had Struijk as LB for this one. Maybe Sam will pull him at the half.

Guardiola will want them to get to 3or 4 nil as quick as possible so he can take Haaland and De Bruyne off

Patty not in this one for me. I’m almost wondering if we’d do better with Aaronson up there and winning the occasional foul.

I agree with you Ian. This Citeh team is playing scintillating football at the minute. It was just two weeks ago they shredded Arsenal 4-1. If we can keep the score down and preserve some measure of goal difference it's a positive result in my view.
