Just wanted to highlight the fine margins #SaintsFC are dealing with nowadays that were shown against #MCFC in a thread looking at City’s goal...
#SaintsFC do well to press #MCFC back to their own goalkeeper - something they force every team they play into doing
However, #MCFC had clearly been working on exploiting this.
Look at how De Bruyne has pulled Vestergaard out of the defensive line, Ederson’s pinpoint kick is directed straight into that space and Bernardo has Bertrand on his heels immediately #SaintsFC

Vestergaard is just unable to get back into his normal position - somewhere in the yellow box - from which he would have cleared De Bruyne’s low cross before it got to Sterling.
#MCFC’s movement has created this and won them the game against #SaintsFC

#SaintsFC can be really proud of how they controlled a lot of the ball and forced City to work hard for their win.
However, the standards are ever more demanding as you try to start competing against the top four - especially #MCFC and Liverpool
