We did not get spanked score wise. That is true.
But it was the only aspect.
Shots 13:4
On target 6:1
And well, there is this unquantifiable side to it. If you watched the game, we were just... so poor. And sorry, Dier was the poorest on the field. Dembele was constantly in the mix of things, hassling the oppo players over the ball. Few times went in from the back and took the ball. At times just pushed oppo player off the ball. Sissoko made some good runs and contributed in our attacking play. While Dier literally did not win ball back for us, not even once I can recall.
You told smth about putting ourselves to City players shoes in the face of Silva (who was rightly BBC man of the match), Mahrez (scorer of the goal) and Sterling (assister, should have had 2nd goal as well in all honesty) -> I would not say they had the worst of games.
It would be ofc superb, if someone was to put together compilation of those 3 in action yesterday. It would make a terrible reading for Dier in comparsion, I believe.
