City have shown enough to warrant a great deal of attention from us in the second half, perhaps even to the extent of subbing Dier on for either Wanyama or Sissoko (with Alli moving higher up) in the second half. Wanyama, because he's on a yellow - Sissoko, because then Dier would move into Alli's spot and offer cover for Rose, who's also on a yellow. The key to our relative success in muffling them (despite some exceedingly dangerous balls in behind us that just lacked a finishing touch) seemed to me to be Wanyama's gut-bursting work in midfield, so that d*ckhead Marriner giving him a yellow while letting Otamendi off on half a dozen means we have to be careful about how we employ him.
We've been relatively fluid, and this time, Alli's taken the open goal that he usually gets presented with once a game.
It's been a good performance all-round, Walker's kept Sterling admirably quiet, and all we need in the second half is more of the same.
