Not at all mate. I think you missed my sarcastic point.

No, I got it. my response was referencing the majority of views on here during the summer and how that’s suddenly changed into absolutely everybody now saying we should have replaced him

So do I but you aint getting it as he's been out for two seasons.

Maybe he will never ever be better than OK, but his recent form has shown distinct signs of improvement. His passing game was good tonight. He thought he'd have a physical battle with Traore and he lost but for me that was a foul. Shouldn't have risked it though. He had the ball under control. Trying to see it over the line like that was stupid and asking for trouble

His passing wasn’t great tonight, and he was shielding out a ball that would have been a corner anyway

Mendy was OK tonight barring one error which in my opinion was a foul.

I can't understand why you didn;t rate him when he first came to City. His stats were out of this world.

Out of this world? I saw him play some games and hoped he was adjusting to the league and would improve. I’m presuming you were impressed with the overlap and first times crosses into the box. Like a quIcker kolarov.

It would be great if he Rodri and cancelo become very good players, but much improvement is needed.

Not sure left back is a big issue. We don't have an Andy Robertson in the side but it's not a big weakness either. After all we took 198 points with that left back.

Central defence is the be all and end all at the moment. Everyone knows this.

The surprise for me is that Pep must know how bad it is and yet even though Stones is training he's not playing him. He must have really gone down in Pep's estimation this season or maybe there's some fitness concern we don't know about.

The full backs at Liverpool and Leicester would all walk into our team. We need players at the level of Robertson to win the Champs League. I rate Zinchenko but he is better in midfield. There is not enough pace in our defence. I thought that showed in all the goals we conceded tonight and every game we have lost this season. I am confident that Pep will sort this in the summer.

I think the Wolves forward did him. Ederson doesn't make a challenge. He leaves it. Wolves player runs into him imo. The watching ref didn't think so. Said it was a straight red but I thought he Wolves player played for the foul and bought it.

There were a whole host of errors. We got very complacent at 2-0. Players stopped showing for the ball and got careless with it. We made lots of defensive errors.

We are just a defensive basketcase with Ota and Fern together in defence. Neither can defend. Problems will continue whilst either is in the side. We all know that. That weakness is defence was why Wolves were pumping the long balls down the middle and it's what led to Ederson's sending off. He possible wanted to protect them and made an error of judgement. All the uncertainty comes from that central defensive pair but what can you do?

I wonder where Stones is

He was fucked. He hasn't the legs for 90 minutes at the moment. When the lights go out from tiredness, it's like being drunk. Believe me I've been there. Your brain gives messages the rest of your body doesn't receive.

That was a blatant shoulder charge in the back too. Traore used his forearm for fuck sake
 
Mendys fuck up absolutely killed us everyone look devastated and you could tell there 3rd was coming
What was he thinking if it had of gone it was a corner

I doubt Zinchenko will ever see much midfield action. He's very good there but no better than our many other options.

So you're saying you'd like Sterling to go to Real Madrid? get a grip.

I dodn't like his attitude at 2-0. City eased off. However, you are going off one game. You've ignored the last 3 seasons. If you are taking into account his City career and still want him shipped out after spending time watching the rubbish you watched on the Kippax terrace then there is something wrong with you.

Raz has been meh for weeks, going on months now. Loves the adulation that comes from being 2019 version of Florence Nightingale. Was meh the last 2 months of last season as well,

You have to look at a players contribution to the club in all games played. Anyone who has a go at ederson or sterling is a bit dim to be honest. Overall there are some players who we can put on the must do better list. There are too many for comfort at this stage. The signings in the summer should get a one season pass, Mendy stones ota are becoming a long term liability. Dinho is being shafted by a stubborn manager.

A finely tuned athlete can’t do 80 minutes after he’s been available for over a month?

Chilwell? Did you watch Leicester's last two games? He's too slow.

Robertson is an outstanding full back. TAA can attack but he can't defend. At City and Liverpool TAA would not need to defend. I think Walker is good. I'm happy enough with Zinchenko. Mendy deserves time to recover.

Fullbacks don't worry me. We got 100 points and then a domestic treble with these full backs.

The only thing that cheers me up this evening is that our problem is so glaring that I know what it is and how to solve it, and so does Pep. It's just get Laporte fit. That's it.

I would be more concerned about players who have been meh for most of the city career. Take sterling’s contribution out of this season and we are in the shit.
