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.
From east upper I thought Barca looked ok , yes made a mistake or 2 , general play good and can take a corner. I would play him for rest of season

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................
You can literally see the panic in the players the longer they keep the ball and the more we are pushed back. Someone needs to show some leadership and just f***ing boot the ball up field once panic mode kick in. f*** orders from the boss. He's wrong on this in our current form and with our current players.

Everytime a pundit talks about teams messing about at the back negatively it's us they are talking about. We are becoming a meme.

I thought Barco has been one of our better players apart from the error for the third.

Moder and Baleba are all over the shop leaving too much space for City to run into. Veltman tripping over himself time and again. We have absolutely no width but yet still getting dominated through the middle.

To a certain extent it's been bad luck, but how many times can we keep saying that. We must have conceded more goals from defensive errors than any other team.

Well, they are the best club in the world, we don’t need to help them score. Four or five players could have kicked that ball up the field before they scored the third. Looked like we were Just four in the wall when Foden took that freekick, Crazy! And man-man we are sooo slooooow, Lallana, Veltman, Gross … I’ve had enough!

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:
Maybe because we care and want to compete at least. If happy clapping is your thing then fine. No one blamed Barco so that’s bollocks.

You're all a bunch of ****s with bloody stupid ideas of how we play the game and the personnel available to the manager, now go to bed you have school tomorrow.
Hoof the ball, don't f*** around at the back, this player or that player is not good enough. You all come out of the woodwork when we're losing....unbelievable!
But it's true :ROFLMAO:

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.

First goal should have been saved, second was from a free kick that should never have been given BUT we look totally clueless when attacking. I am totally disillusioned with the way we are now playing. We are offering nothing in attack and fannying about at the back brings zero benefits.
