Kev and Laporte picked a fine time to have their worse games of the season.

 

[come-on-barney]

An adequate summation of our season. Just beat these guys a few weeks ago. Easily.

It all goes back to losing Kompany and not having that same caliber leader in the squad (on or off the pitch) and it shows.

And a few players just really suck sometimes. Not even bothered to mention names - we all know which ones.

No real leader out there.

All Walker had to do was follow his man. He failed twice and they scored twice. He does his job and we do not concede a goal.

It's because he is brain dead

 

[brummie blue]

what service has he got today? nothing. the set up men have been slow, selfish, and woeful. to suggest no goals today is his fault is total wank.

didn't suggest no goals is his fault

 

[mancityscot]

theres no getting through, we could be playing til tomorrow night

 

[kalouk]

Looking for a silver lining, at least nobody has had to pay for travel and tickets :(

 

[kaz7]

Is gabby on?

 

[HolisticJim]

I think we all know we need a mini rebuild. We're not winning the CL this year.
Really wanting this season over and for us to go again with fresh faces tbh

 

[ctid1894]

Today's pairing of Laporte and Garcia ain't doing any better than Stones and Ota against Bournemouth.
Team hasn't been able to defend against the counterattack all season, no matter who plays.

What absolute bullshit, this is an attacking issue, it's nothing to do with the defence and most certainly not the CB's. Walker at fault for the first, Mendy for the second.

Losing away from home at half time, don’t win...predictable

 

[Rammy Blue]

So you agree on why we were not down 2 zip? Or do you need video evidence for that?

We are 2 down you plank.

 

[blue order]

To be fair to Garcia on the second, Mendy was virtually in the Green Man !

 

[Blu1]

Why do we keep crossing it ffffsss

 

[super_city_si]

I thought Mendy was good at crosses?

 

[01282]

Why is Pep so against wingers playing on their strong foot side

That’s why he let Sane go.

 

[citymad]

Strange to pick on those two when everyone else has been abysmal too.

Not really. Makes my blood pressure go up every time he’s on the ball. He’s so poor.

 

[Dax777]

David Luiz is cleaning bup all these useless crosses

 

[jimharri]

A truly dispiriting (non) performance tonight.

 

[mcfc_ms]

What fucks me off when we try to chase games is the useless floating crosses we keep doing to 3 midgets in the box

 

[I'm Blue]

Unlucky Laporte.
