Awful couple of passes from Kalvin, Tyler nearly bailed him out...

Tough start to the half but we've come more into the game as it's went on , City still by far the better team , good chance spurned there by Ayling

A torrid opening spell but we've worked our way back into the game very well, and oh so close to an equaliser in the dying seconds.

More of this in the 2nd half and I can see Mendy getting his second yellow and us getting something out of this game

We probably deserve to be level, City not looking special except on the break after an error and a few Championship teams looked good against us on the break too..

Klich came back into it well, need Kalvin to stop panicking and do the same, he looks flustered today. Roberts my MOTM so far, just from Koch

Costa has been very good, as have Koch and Klich.

Bit of individual brilliance from Sterling.

We started playing well at 45 minutes after the hour. Unfortunately, the game started at half past.

Too many mistakes at the back. Partly due to City's press. Cooper should have cleared before the goal.

Fairness to Tyler - had a really good first half. Probably best player so far, Bielsa will sub him

Don't think that was a particularly easy chance for Ayling
