Battled hard without the ball but our efforts to keep it were risible until we made subs. We were far better when Luiz moved into the middle. Peno was soft enough but Mings allowed himself to be mugged by Salah. Unfortunately he was at fault for that Jota chance too, unable to clear the ball with his right foot. McGinn battled like a trooper and Konsa was outstanding. Encouraging cameo again from Sanson I thought.

Martinez 7, Cash 5, Konsa 9, Mings 6, Targett 7, Nakamba 4, Luiz 6, McGinn 8, Ramsey 5, Young 5, Watkins 5. Sanson 6, Buendia 6, Ings 5
why so low for Nkamba ?

He can't do it all on his own.

Brontebilly has to be the most tightest of tight when it comes to handing out players ratings. I bet you hand out coal for Christmas! 😉

Thought we held on well for most of the game, but took the game to them in the closing stages even though it left us exposed at the back on occasions. 

I genuinely cannot understand the decision not to award us a penalty.  From the two replays I saw, it was clear that their keeper did not touch the ball, yet made contact with Ings.  The sound wasn’t on where I was watching it, so I don’t even know if VAR looked at it.

I thouhgt our players were a bit muted for our penalty shout. You need to go mental and get in the ref's face for decisions like that.

I thought the whole point of VAR is that your players don't need and shouldn't "go mental" at the ref to get a decision? They should trust that the system is fair?

It  would have been soft but so was the penalty that won the game. From what I could see Nakamba might have given one away in the first half though.

A good effort and we weren’t disgraced by any means.
Mings and Emi were absolutely superb, but I also thought Dougie had his best game for 12 months.

They’re a good side and no shame losing to them. We did ok in spells and I thought sanson did well when he came on and pen aside Mings was fantastic.
Two big games coming up.

Strange how different people see it as I thought Sanson was dreadful and fluffed the final pass a fair few times, BUT thought he was really good against M City so if we’re all seeing something there’s cause for optimism there.

We did very well against a almost full strength liverpool team.

I dont like to say it,  but this is the kind of game we could have used grealish to get something

But overall decent. Mings motm

Sanson looked decent

The "process" seems to have completed changed over the summer. That ex ref tied himself in knots in the City/Wolves game earlier today to justify the City pen.

A point would have been nice today but 10 points from the next 4 and I'll be happy.
