I think so - it can't be natural instinct to let the ball be passed around you in the centre circle without making some sort of attempt to get it , so I think he must be curbing those instincts deliberately? Hope that's the case anyway.

Those all important possession stats are indeed 79-21 to City so a good couple of calls earlier on the thread.
The lack of ball is obviously down to Locadia because it's definitely the lone striker's job to have the ball for the whole half with no support

Come on then. What do you think it is?

We could still lose 5 - 0 of course. But we're doing ok.

I don't think we're doing too bad, but I'm now counting how many chins Richard Keys and Andy Gray have between them
Accounts for their big mouths.

Are you really saying that Bong gets slated because he's black, as opposed to not good enough?
Wow... that's so wide of the mark it was aimed at the goal and hit an aeroplane.

Such a quiet stadium though, can hear the players talking at times.

Can't say we lack commitment. How did they not score then?
Indeed, there is enough real racism out there in the world without people making stuff up for no reason.

Good defending by bong there.
In a word it’s, bollocks.
In the past Barnes, Stephens, Propper, Baldock, Hemed, CMS, Harley were criticised to n’th degree, some sustained over much of their Albion time.
If anything, the cnt Jay Rodriguez issue made many of us like Bong all the more.
Left back problems have plagued many PL games for us, that’s all.
