When we were 2-0 up I thought Glasner was a tactical genius, but seeing what he did at half time just made him look like he'd lost the plot.
I like Glasner, but to single out Mateta isn't fair. I get that Mateta wasn't at his best, that him, Hughes and Lacroix weren't fully fit and that we didn't have a ready made sub available with Nketiah being suspended, but honestly, what was he thinking by reducing our attacking threat? You can't defend wave after wave of attacks against a team like Man City (as we saw!) and surely you need an outlet to try and carry the ball up the pitch, get corners, etc.
Couldn't understand why the obvious sub of Hughes for Kamada didn't happen at half time. Kamada looked better last week, but completely out of his depth yesterday. The free kick he gave away was sloppy and if Hughes or Wharton had done it I would have probably just shrugged my shoulders, but Kamada hasn't earned enough credit in the bank for that. He's got to drop him to the bench as apart from a couple of decent passes in previous games, I just don't think he's adding anything to the team. I can only think that Glasner has rose tinted glasses on with him, as surely it would have been better to start with Hughes with the view of subbing him off when he was knakered.
Still, as annoying the result is at least we don't have the pressure of keeping that run going now and we've got a our bi-annual big loss out of the way!
