It wasn’t about dropping off though, it was movement to the side that did us.
It’s a shame you can’t embed pics in a comment as it would make it a lot easier to explain! The chain reaction was the fullbacks though, not the central midfield.

Training ground move. Stretch the left, make space in the centre and the right winger runs into it.

Yes - movement opened city up and 3 of the City players were caught flat-footed. City also had similar plans - Ederson's fabulous pass to put Sterling through was probably the only time we were really opened up and left one-v-one - luckily a combination of luck, good defending and poor control saved us.

Yep. What would have stopped it is keeping Sterling and Mahrez wide so Walker didn’t have to step up. Even with that though, I did think Zinchenko was slow to react to the goal.
