I wonder if it would be worth putting a player to man mark De Bruyne wherever he goes on the pitch, much like the Italians did in the 70's? So much of their play and goal scoring opportunities come from him.

The ref is Moss, so he will book Wilf for what Sterling says.

As to City's defensive confusion, I think this was born out of Kompany going off injured early and, due to Newcastle's complete lack of attacking ambitions, being replaced with Jesus. Once City didn't turn their ridiculous possession advantage into goals, their makeshift back line became vulnerable when Newcastle smelled some blood in the water - especially so once Gayle came on.

I doubt Pep will make that mistake again (and Kompany is likely to be out of the starting lineup anyway).

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
