Man City are probably the best club side in the world, we play a certain way. They are too good for us. Barco fecked up, He's 19, it's only his 2nd or 3rd game. Did any of you really think we would win this game?

edit* that being said, our form in the league has been pretty woeful.
Unbelievable the amount of vitriol that starts spouting out on these match threads - geezus - blaming a 19 year old kid on his debut and a gk that apparently should have saved against some quality goals from a far better team than we are. With the injuries we still have out and our recent poor form, I had Man City pegged for a 6:0 win going into to this, it may not be that bad. :lolol:

RDZ got it totally wrong.

- Throwing Barco in is just poor for the young lad. God knows what that’s done to his confidence. Should have started Igor
- Gross, Veltman, Lallana, Moder and Welbeck in the same line up is just a recipe for disaster. Zero energy or legs to press.

As another poster rightly said at least Potter changed things when they weren’t working. This is the definition of insanity.

Saving my ££££, no more games for me this season......Waste of money .

Big changes needed in the summer or next season is going to be a massive wake up call ........half our players cannot even control the ball, too slow, past it, or not very good.

Really poor that. Poor set up. Poor play. Poor refereeing decisions.
I don't mind us losing against better teams but this has been really disappointing.

I know some are saying city are amazing and yes they are but we have been fcking terrible. Very little effort. No gameplan. Messing about at the back with a 19 year old (setting himself up for a big fall).

De Zerbi and the players should apologise for this unless a much improved second half.

I’m £96 richer thanks to; the state of Abu Dhabi, RDZ and an embarrassingly shit summer 2023 transfer strategy.

They're no better than Arsenal.
You at least set up properly, keep things tight. We've basically given them this.
You missed out ‘again’ from end of your post

Yes, one is a knowledgeable analysis of the way modern football should be played, the other is what sh|t ignorant dinosaurs shout at the players to stop doing it. Or so we are told by those with access to said knowledgeable analysis anyway.


I think I've got that right now ................................................
A bit like VAR. If it can't decide within a few minutes it's too close to call. If we have passed within our box more than (say) 5 times, it's not working so get rid................

On the whole mid table is a fine achievement this season . No problem there .
But we are dog sh*t at the moment .
I worry for next season , going by recent performances .
We will have 11 new players once the injuries are over. Plus possible signings. I am optimistic.
One bonus is players who might have been targets like Mitoma and Estupinan are under the radar by not playing.

We haven't got anyone else to play :ROFLMAO: They're all injured or have been sold. What do you want from him?
