Not a great result, but I don’t think anyone would be surprised by it. 
I think we played pretty well, but City are just unstoppable at the moment. If they weren’t playing against Everton it would have been enjoyable to watch them. 
 

Went with McNeil, his work rate is up there at Iwobi levels but I feel like he has more quality now. Garner was good again too. 
 

Hopefully Garner and DCL going off was just to rest them after the game was gone.

McNeil didn’t stop trying all game. Garner and Patterson had good games also.

[Bailey]

I dont think anyone really stood out. On the whole everyone was solid. Dom was on for having a really good game but he only played 45 mins so I went with McNeil as well. His hard work to stop the counter when Gana was left for dead stands out in my mind.

[Palfy]

Went with Patterson up against some of the better players in Europe and never looked out of place or let himself down, showed great energy and commitment from the first minute till the last. 

[Romey 1878]

Garner, thought he was superb until we went 2 down.

I went with McNeil myself because he kept going for the full 90 but can see why you went with Garner and why he has kept his place in the side now Onana is fit

Always made himself available and kept us ticking over and has a good range of passing, think he is going to prove a very good signing for us

Surprised Gana Gueye hasn’t had a mention, thought he was superb today and I would have gone with him as MotM had he stayed on

McNeil, Garner, Gana and Doucoure were the standouts during our good spell at the start. They were everywhere.

I went with McNeil but it could just as easily have been Garner. Whisper it quietly but there is the nucleus of a decent team developing under Dyche. If we survive and buy well/sensibly in the summer we should at the very least be able to stop flirting with relegation each season.

love the optimism.
