That is one of the easiest chances Son can get.Sissoko's pass gave Son a headstart on defenders. He was basically 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper. I'd say thats a goal most of the time, regardless of how much he had to run in a straight line.So that’s 166 times at least that Trippier didn’t “just pass back” thenBazali ?
And one if those two assists (of his 5 in 3 years - in the same time Trippier has 13) was a pass to Son while Son was in his own half and still had to run 50 fucking yards to score.
Thought Trips was brilliant tonight. More aggressive and assertive defensively than I can ever remember him being, and you could see City didn't have that on the scouting report, they thought they could keep him backpedaling and got caught out on several occasions.
We desperately need him revived down the stretch, so that was encouraging.

Was the player from last season....hope he can push on from this, massive game...
And all the people dreading him against Sterling. He completely nullified him and then Sane.
Was Walker even on the pitch tonight?

Very good tonight well done lad.
Actually had a good game for once.
Wouldn't risk him again in the second leg though.

He’s a better option than Aurier I mean I wouldn’t put Serge and his rash tackles in that massive game & pressure.
Knew he would perform tonight.
Still not his biggest fan to be honest, but he’s a true pro, was absolutely due a top performance and absolutely wanted to stick it to the team that let him go as a yoof.

I’ve slated him all season and still think we could definitely upgrade on him. But he really pulled it out the bag tonight. I would still like us to buy a quality right back but fair play to him.
Yeah sissoko helped trippier out a lot tonight. Wouldn’t have thought those two could hack it against city at the start of the season....
He was good but yes interesting..
Very much a 50:50 game now but one where defensive solidity in the first 20 mins could be crucial.
Aurier stronger and quicker but hmmmm....
Was unspectacular. Kept it simple.
Other than a couple of hairy moments was mostly unruffled.
Would still like to see more of his primary qualities brought back to the fore.
But not a headline maker for anything negative and that's a positive.
