Think it's safe to say Dunk will be having the summer off. Good for us at least.

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.
And if he'd started Igor and we were losing you have shouted that he should have given Barco a chance. Gotta love fans.

If Barco hadn’t started, everyone would have blamed RDZ for not starting Barco ( like they’ve done since his debut :lol:) - he’s performing far better than Igor did on his debut.

Erm you think that was for anybody other than a corrupt ref
The press reporting as boos for RDZ. And they’re always right. It’s what will be believed by every other PL fan, especially those with YouTube shows.

The word “entitlement” will soon be trending too

We look out of our depth. The season has already finished, we all knew that, but it will interesting to see what happens in the summer.

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.
Mitoma, March, Estupinan struggling to name any others

And they probably wouldn’t be had Estupinan, Gilmour, or Hinshelwood been fit. But what can you do….
That’s the point. Some of the squad players aren’t near the required levels. Everyone will have injuries - we’ve used one of the most players in the league.

I mean they are miles better than us and we aren’t getting near them, but who can compete against a team with virtually unlimited funds. Why they feel the need to fall over all the time and why the ref gives a free kick needs answering. I mean they would have beaten us anyway, but that free kick decision is unacceptable. Then we just give them a goal.

City close down exceptionally well. Thats the main difference especially from the front. We stand off. Sort that out we might at least score a goal.

To many players no where near the required levels. Barco, Moder, Veltman, all shouldn’t be starting for a genuine European chasing team
They aren't. They're starting for us.

Thought Barco was OK personally.

The lallana, moder, baleba, and Gross quadrangle of overcomplicated nonsense can get in the bin though. No idea what they were supposed to be working on but De Zerbi should perhaps worry less about impressing Pep with a free form jazz formation.
