He didn’t look great as a right wing back for most of the first half.
When we moved to an orthodox back 4 and he played as an advanced winger after the break, he did look quality.
We played a bizarre formation first half, leaving enormous gaps between the defenders, which City were bound to exploit, and did. I don't think I'd say that Solly was playing RWB at that point though but, then again, ascertaining precisely what position each of the players had been assigned in the first half isn't the easiest of tasks.
Lallana apart, I didn’t think any of our team covered themselves in glory in the first half.
Agreed. Lallana was my MotM, because he was good in both halves. Only Cucurella can also make that claim.
