We had a lot of success pressing them high up the pitch, especially in the first half hour before they got into their rhythm. Was 50-50 so about an hour then we tired and dropped off.
You play that way more often and your guys should fitter than ours, so you could cause them a lot of problems as they looked dodgy at the back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They will have Stones back who has a bit of composure.
Hooefully you ran the legs off them a bit for us
Where in particular would you say they struggled?
----------------------------------
We won the ball back a fair bit by keeping the pressing high centrally and making Bravo kick to the fullbacks. Won a lot of second balls off that and hit them on the counter when their back 4 were still spread. Their centre mids are very attack minded so nick the ball in there and getting them going back the way.
They brought on Stones second half but we pretty much dropped off by then.
Great result for the Bhoys, the first side to get at City properly this season, and a good bounceback after Barca
How are you finding Shergar's reign so far? A marked improvement on Ronny?
