 Hi guys, it's Cameron from the Mighty Blues, this is my instant match reaction, Evan won Manchester City 3 at Gudson Park in the Premier League. You know what, it's tough to take that one, it really, really is tough to take because at times in that game we looked really, really good. It's probably the best Evan performance I've seen for a couple of weeks. There was times when we showed like we were given fight, we were given heart, we were playing with passion and we were playing to want to win the game. Now, don't get me wrong, I think there was a couple of points in the game, I think the last 15 minutes of the game and the last 15 minutes of the first half, so the last 15 minutes of both drafts, we looked a little bit, a little bit sheepish, we looked a little bit scared, we didn't quite want to break forward and I don't know whether that was, we didn't want to quite break forward because you know, we were scared of what would come back of us if we were caught on the counter attack. Obviously, to us it these goals were on the counter attack and one of them was a set piece which, you know, we come to expect the Devatonians now, but like I said, it's a tough one to take because it was actually an okay effort in performance but one of the toughest things to take coming out of that game is that we actually had chances there, we had chances to go up to one in the first half and we had chances to come out of that game with at least something Dominic Calvert-Lewan as an opportunity yet he mean it as a header, really heads it down and if he heads it anywhere other than state of the keeping, it goes in. Rich Arleson has one at the back post where he literally just has to touch it on target but he touches it wide, Alex Ooby had one in the first half, we had opportunities to really make Man City pay for the defensive frailties and you know what, we done that, we'd done that with Seamus Coleman cutting inside, putting in a fantastic chip shot, it was and it was going in, Dominic Calvert-Lewan with what I actually think is a decent finish, that's a strikers finish, that's the type of finish you want to see, Dominic Calvert-Lewan doing greedy, running as many goals as possible and throwing his head in there, he knew it was going in, he knew Seamus Coleman had scored that goal but he wanted it, he wanted to throw his head in there and he wanted the goal down as in and he got it and that's fair enough but there was too many other opportunities in the game where we had similar situations and we just didn't capitalise on it. Now don't get me wrong, we knew what to expect going into this game, we knew a good Manchester City where we knew that they were going to hit us fast, we knew that the players that they've got us, you know, simply accepting them, you only have to look at the players, they brought us off the bench age, our grade out, Bernardo Silva, David Silva, absolutely unbelievable, he all started with Heizu Stair and Kevin De Bruyne but I think to put in a performance like that and have as many opportunities as we did and you know, come closer a couple of times and not come out of the game with anything, you know, it is disappointing and like I said it's a tough one to take because we put in a better performance than what we've put in in recent weeks, that was a much better performance than the one against Sheffield tonight, than a much better performance than the one against Ballmer but we're still not clinical enough going forward, we're still not taking our opportunities. Obviously, within the first minute, Theo Walker, who started the game, much to, you know, a lot of people's surprise and my surprise as well was in the start of 11, literally within the first minute goes down with what looked like a pretty bad injury, has to get stretched off, ends up going straight into an ambulance or first, I just want to say, obviously I wish Theo would have a speedy recovery, wish it's nothing too serious and hopefully it was only precautionary but he goes off, Alex Iwobi comes on and I think Alex Iwobi struggled in this game, I think he struggled to keep up with the play and I think he struggled to keep his concentration and stay awake really, you know, we're talking about it because he lost concentration a couple of times, he wasn't quite on it, he wasn't quite to the ball and one thing I noticed in this game is and I've noticed it quite a couple of times over the last few weeks is that we don't seem to win the second ball ever. Every time a ball goes in the air, we watch where it's going and we watch the opposition take it down and then we go out them instead of when it's in the air running to wherever it's going to drop and intersecting at that point, we like to watch where the ball goes and you simply can't do that against a team like Manchester City, you can't be second to every ball because they're capitalised on that and they did today and you know they play well, they got a couple of goals off the counter and they got like I said one set piece which is which again should have been defended a lot better but for us to put in a performance similar to that one and not get anything out of the game it is disappointing, listen we need to be a lot better and we do need to be a lot more clinical because you know we could come up against 18 teams in the Premier League and we're not putting our chances away, we won't win the games and you know we had multiple chances there to to put away but you know I think from what we expected at the start of the game, from what we expected before the game, some fans saying that we're going to get absolutely turned over, some fans saying that it'll be an embarrassment, I don't actually think it was too bad to be honest it's more like I said disappointing because we had opportunities there and you know we played really well in patches but in other patches we just looked a little bit scared to go forward and you know we always knew Manchester City were going to come out at us, they were going to come fast and they were going to want to play the ball quickly along the floor and hit us on the counter and they've done that, they're a fantastic team and they've done that and I think a couple of times in the game we sort of thought about that a little bit too much and we didn't want to break forward and we didn't want to go full pelt because we you know we were worried about what they'd do if they'd come back at us and you know what their first goal winning and then we knew we had to step the game but we knew we had to go and play and the last 15 minutes of the first half was brilliant, it was absolutely brilliant, we were giving them as good as we got, we were breaking forward, we were creating opportunities and defensively we were really really good, the first 15 minutes of the second half we were really really strong defensively it was just that last 15 minutes that we let ourselves down again and we lost concentration a little bit and they capitalized on it exactly like we knew they would but I don't think it's the most design and performance at the end of the day when you look at the Premier League well we're 15th now, 7 points out of 7 games is not good enough whatsoever but that's not a reflection on today's game or today's result or performance, that's a reflection on previous results that we've already spoken about and that we already know aren't good enough, I suppose to an extent it still wasn't good enough today because we still didn't take our chances but it was a lot lot better, if you're going to take positives out of it it was a lot lot better for me just off the start on 11 obviously like I said I won't be coming, he struggled a little bit but you know obviously he wasn't prepared to start because he come on within the first minute, I'd take Guilfrey Shikerson out, now I think Guilfrey Shikerson off and nothing again today I think we've been saying it for weeks he's struggling and he struggled massively today so I'll bring him out for at least a couple two or three weeks now give him a rest give him a go on the bench and let somebody else come in and to be honest with you I'd shake up the formation a little bit, I'd go with two up front I'd put Moise Keane up there with Dom obviously Dom you know played okay in patches again he was he was running round he was showing that he you know he wanted to fight for the ball obviously he got the goal, I thought Morgan Snellen played quite well as well which is probably against the against the view of many fans and I actually thought Seamus Coleman played well as well I thought it was Seamus's best game of the season so far it was just it just didn't happen for us today did it but you know when you come up against the team like that and you you have laps as a concentration in defense and all of a sudden you you know you lose that like I said that that concentration when the ball's in the air and you're not winning the second ball then you're gonna get you're gonna get punished for it but anyway that's my instant match reaction let me know your thoughts ever in one Manchester City 3 at Gouldersham Park wasn't the worst performance but again the results are are still worrying and but hopefully we can take something out of that game whether it's a little bit of confidence whether it's a little bit of belief in ourselves hopefully we can take something out of that game because we need the win against barely next week let me know your thoughts thanks for watching see you soon
