Villa also played this weekend and City go to Madrid midweek too so all those games equal themselves out. As for the 7 point gap is comfortable which anyway you look at it.
"Fatigue comes from running a lot and a bit of mental fatigue a lot. We were mentally tested today. We thought weād scored a third and then a penalty for the third but both were correct from the referee. Maybe it did lead to us being a bit tired. I did see for the first time this season that players were more tired than they have been."Slot
A game of two halves. Iād say we were in total control first half. Canāt remember them creating anything really. When needed, Virgil was there to stop them.
Second half changed after the penalty not given. They score and we get nervous. Worryingly our midfield (Grav and Macca) looked knackered and we couldnāt keep up the pressing game.
I think Slot need to change some players for the Villa game. Could see Kostas
And Jones coming in
Excellent first half, shit second but great save by Becker and Quansah with a really good intervention and Slot gave a fair few players a bit of rest which is important with the games ahead. As someone said the teams we play also have similar schedules with only Newcastle not playing this week.
