Look at the state of Manchester United’s football here. Their fanbase was giving sermons on how you should play with 10 men against City just a week ago.
In case you missed it, this is what I was referring to.
Arteta returns the ball to Martinelli, who goes to take a quick throw. But Justin stands on his foot and puts his left arm around him to prevent the throw.

This is so, so much better than turning up there, getting bullied and having our heads patted about being ‘so, so good.’ Very gratifying and encouraging.
Seen some pundits claim Gabriel fouled Romero for the goal. Ok, fair enough.
Now, cast your mind back to Newcastle away last season. Gabriel got pushed to the floor whilst conceding a goal. Pundits agreed he had to be stronger. Well, which one is it?
