In the context of the season, thinking games where we'd expect to pick up points, I'm a hell of a lot less concerned about a 0-2 defeat to Man City than I would be by, to take a purely random example, an 0-3 defeat to Huddersfield.

im sure CH must have told the players in the first half not to take too many risks - imagine we had played more openly with 2 up front and march playing wider, we would probably have been 3-0 down by half time. However, on the 2 occassions we did get forward WHERE THE HE:: WAS THE SUPPORT to the strikers?

We need to retain possession when we have the ball andbnot pumping forward aimlessly.

I think you'll find that most c**ts on here think holding out for 70 minutes against a team with full backs who cost more than our entire team wasn't a bad effort. Weekends against the big 6 are not dead rubbers, of course they're not. Any points gleaned from these games will be welcome - but essentially they will be surprise bonuses; our primary source of PL points will be elsewhere. Of course, some c**ts can't understand that...............
That is where March was so good, particularly in the first half. He kept the ball, made himself some space and then successfully passed to a team mate.

He was very impressive
Plus points:
1. Conceding fewer goals than Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Negatives:
1. Scoring fewer goals than Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. And City, obvs.

Would have been nice if we had at least tried to win the game, like we did against Athletico, rather than try not to lose. If we play like that again, against a team who don't look as ordinary as City did today, we will get tonked.

Yep, one particular player they have in mind but will be difficult to get over the line.

I thought the ref had made a simple counting error: they had fifteen men on the pitch, didn't they?
A new striker would have made no difference to us today, but please let's get one sooner rather than later to face those teams we might get something from.
Bruno must wish he was ten years younger. He looked the part today.
And all is not lost, eh?

The usual sports media spunking themselves stupid over City. They cost OVER HALF A BILLION POUNDS FFS Can't be too disappointed and glad to get that one out of the way. Get the last few players in that the club are clearly trying to do and we'll be OK.
