One thing this game highlighted is that despite the excellent business we did this summer we still lack a top class No. 6. We had no control of the midfield whatsoever.
The defenders mostly did their jobs well but when a team with the quality of City are so utterly rampant there will always been opportunities that open up for them. I really rate Winks and think he can be an excellent regista against teams that concede possession to us, but when we're up against it we need a player who can both physically dominate and also play a bit. We don't really have that option in the squad.
That will be ndombele. Give him a few games first though!
