No shame in admitting we were totally outplayed, that's how one improves.
Positives:
- More comfortable and composed when in possession
- Hudson Odoi
- To a lesser extent, Drinkwater
Negatives:
- Not doing anything with possession
- Alonso
- Fabregas
- Morata
- Barkley (he could do so much more)
- Pressing. Sarri's system is based mostly on pressing and also quick transition, that is something the players will need to work on. Pressing in cohesion and aggression and moving the ball faster.
Jorginho needs a ball winning midfielder beside him, today he had to do double work, that'll be fixed once Kante returns. However, there is a crazy need for a goalscoring midfielder who can make late runs.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a trophyless season if we can get a philosophy or style of play that we could be identified with. Fans can be so demanding at times.
Look at Pep in his first season with City, it wasn't good but now you're seeing what he can do.
