I'm not sure what you're watching so I'll explain it to you.

We're intentionally playing the ball within our back 7 to draw them on. 

When they do the press us if we beat the press were attacking extremely quickly which is where pretty much all our chances have come from. 

It's not a slow build up, it's an intentional attempt to draw them towards us so we can spring forward quickly.

I get that, but don't do it in the penalty area, one mistake and they score. Outside the penalty box there is a point, even if rather tedious, but allows their defence to organise.

Yep, it is hard to find.  Scroll down to Sports. Click on football. Then scroll down to live league 1

The goal came from some first time passes, no opportunity for Barnsley to adjust, hope the penny drops that that’s the way in.

I like the way that one side decided to make it a physical scrap of a match and the other (us) said “Nah, we’ll just outplay you with the ball”. Of course you need a bit of both but good to see we didn’t get drawn into a stop start lottery of a match.
 

Just seen the Thomas chance again, how did he not just move it on to Riis, the specialist finisher of the two, was he more interested in trying to win a penalty? 

Riis was getting ahead of him instead of hanging back.

but the sheer space they leave when doing so…

Barnsley are leaving themselves open for counters with Alves but the sideways no need passes in the middle kill the momentum. Even worse when the ball ends up back to the keeper. 
 

Faes to his credit is trying to make forward balls count.

Unbelievable! I’m in the Qantas first class lounge at Changi airport and they’re not showing the match!

Have you contacted the British Embassy, I can see an international incident developing over such an outrage! And the trades description act - first class, how can it be first class anything without City on the screen!

It was a good run and assist, however defensively he his a bomb scare.

And yet the majority of Barnsley’s good play has come down the other side.

 

We are allowed to say that Thomas has been fine you know, he’s not the best player on the pitch and he never will be, but he’s been decent today.

Judging by the half-time music at Oakwell, time has stood still and it's the 1999-2000 season.

explains why they don't see a problem with that red then
