I wasn't saying they were defending terribly (although they certainly weren't defending well). It was the way Jose set them up just to defend in numbers and hope to nick a goal with a long ball. It's dark ages football, and the very kind of tactics MC face and invariably overcome week in week out. They were brilliant in patches (as they usually are) but the fact is they hardly got into top gear for a lot of the game. They didn't have to. And yet were it not for a silly mistake by Ederson and some wasteful balls by Sterling and Sane, they still could've won that 4 or 5 nil without anyone being able to say it flattered them.
