It's the Mourinho default when they play a good team, particularly away:
a) Drop Mata
b) Pick Fellaini
c) Pick Matic
d) Pick Herrera
And then wonder why the 'flyers' up top lose the ball, due to lack of support?
Incredibly they got back into it at 2-1 (due to Ederson's incredible decision that cost a penalty - absolutely agree, there is a growing trend here) but it would have been an absolute travesty had Man City not got three points from that game. The third goal though crystallised all that is different about the two teams - 44 passes, over two minutes possession and a great finish. The gulf between the two sides is vast.
