I’ll take that, but it should not have been like that at the end.

Over to Pep Guardiola, for his post-match thoughts…

Salah needs to sit out the next game…he’s been awful the lately. He needs to know he’s not a guarantee starter. Awful. Just awful.

Great first half - out of this world.
Didn’t start 2nd half. Conceded.
Missed a few chances.
Got sloppy, conceded again but held on.

Hendo looked fucked when he came on!

Give over. He was fine today. Just needs a goal and the floodgates will open again.

Why do we have to make things so difficult :roll_eyes: :man_shrugging:

Excellent win. That was Mane 2019 vintage.

The second half was close only due to Michael Oliver - he tipped the yellow card midfield balance in $hitty’s favour - three times Diaz skips past a player, but onlyJesus with card frm them in the in first half.

It allowed Fernandinho (who else? Diaz skips past two players, Fernandinho blatant kick out to stop the counter, and no card) and Silva to keep making those sly fouls, whereas Fab and Keita called pulled up straight away.

I don’t mind the small kicks to let go to let the game flow. But when a player has to do skill then a counter chance, it’s a yellow all day long. It allowed him to have a hard kick on Mane in the second.

I thought that too. Not sure what he was doing, neither protecting at the back nor adding anything going forward. Think he may not be a mainstay next year. Hopefully he can capture CL and PL as captain this year…

Just another routine win against a shit side. Mane man of the match Naby and Thiago were excellent also.
