Watching the match from the South Stand which is something I very rarely do, I couldn't help noticing City's use of Stacey.
With Rowe and Onel out, the only pace we have on the right comes from Stacey. Watch the highlights to see that many of our best moments come with Stacey bombing down the wing.
However, it was very surprising to see how many times Hanley in particular chose not to give him the ball when he had plenty of space. Hanley would check and go back inside to Gibson. I think this is part of why poor Kenny got some stick from the fans when he also went back inside instead of putting the ball wide to Dimi.
Thought Stacey was out MoM.
