Nah! Phillips did enough to make shooting the correct decision. He should have just toe punted it so Ederson couldn't have read it.

Yeah even if shooting always go across the keeper there

Better 2nd half however Man City had stopped playing. 

Their fault.

[Mr Weller 2]

To be fair that was a respectable second half and we recovered a little pride. At least it looked like we cared and I think that’s something to cling on to.

Is Kelechi a second half player? Most of his goals seem to come after half time.When he starts he usually draws a blank in the first 45 minutes.

We did… but let’s be honest Man City treated like a training session and still got 3 points. 
 

Same players constantly making mistakes. We need a win so desperately to lift the confidence levels.

Cut out the silly mistakes and we can get ourselves out of this. Really encouraging after going 3 down. We tightened up, worked on our shape and gave it a go later on. They may have taken their foot off the gas but we didn't just let them pass around us. If we had been a bit more clinical it could have been a really tense finish

We won the second half

That's because he's never allowed to start

Yes but that team is still about the best in the league and we created chances against them. Better than watching us treat the second half like a training session when trailing to Southampton and creating nothing.

Mendy is an out ball but Wilf is not, this is why Wilf is such a problem.  

Spot on (and has been the case for ages)… yet bizarrely the people who pick the team don’t see it.

What is his record in the first half when he does start?

Agreed - but you know this lot struggle under the pressure. Wolves will be the biggest test of character & belief they’ve had for a while because they have to win

Yes, hopefully Smith, Shaky and Terry have been working on that as well.

Yes fair do's. Pep took the foot off the gas, but a much better half.

I also draw a blank, but that's after 10 mins! Yet again I'm only 70😀
