They are not better, they are just peaking at the right time of the season. We are going through a difficult patch at the worst possible time. Unfortunately I feel like they are going to win the league as I think we will take a while to find rhythm and by the time we do they will be out of sight.. might be our year for big ears though.
Not if we get them in the final haha

They would be 2 or 3 up tonight crowd sucking it into the net.
 
We are being patient cos they are very compact and everyone of Brightons players are trying to hit us on the counter. Go and watch the first half again.
being patient is not working, you need to hit them fast and hard when they do counter, but you don't do that. you dilly dally and pass it back because no one is fast, no one is capable of running in behind, no one is capable of beating a man.

has any city player completed a dribble today
 
The minimal amount of ‘atmosphere’ in SS3 has completely evaporated and you can hear people chatting from many rows away.

The crowd has given up as the players seem to have :(
 
Something up with this team. In comparison to where we were the last years anyway. Although KDB is great, he's been way off his best too. Remember the days when he was always swinging in monster crosses that could take their entire defence and the ball landed on the toe of our striker ? Yeah, that was KDB in his absolute prime and he's not at that level anymore even though he does still have a few moments.

Up front we're a non-event too. That 100m for Grealish was a terrible mistake and waste of cash. Surely we could have got a pretty good striker for that ? I doubt we'd get back half what we paid if he was sold today.

Dunno. The squad looks knackered for some reason ..... in mind and body.

Brighton had 2 players on the floor in that first half, 30 yards from our goal. We pissed about that long, that by the time we got to the half way line they were behind the ball!
 
Spurs away, 18 shots lost
Saints home 16 shots drew
Palace home 14 shots lost
Liverpool away 12 shots (double Liverpool) drew
Wolves home 24 shots, won with a dodgy penalty
Southampton away, 20 shots drew
Spuds home, 21 shots lost
Palace away 19 shots, drew
Liverpool home 11 shots (nearly double Liverpool) drew....


Our finishing is criminal.....
Been like this for two seasons, you'd have thought with all the data teams use we'd have noticed and put it right.
 
Ever since Gundogan came back into the side we turned to shit.

Everything slowed down, players moved to fit him in.

He has no urgency.

We need a goal and he passes back, every fucking time.
 
Goal is coming keep the faith
I think we will score eventually but that doesn’t hide the fact that we are not only not clinical, but we don’t take gifts either.
We won’t get away with such profligacy all season and expect to lift trophies.

We need somebody to take up the challenge and put them away consistently like in previous seasons. I’m hoping Kev grabs this by the scruff of the neck tonight.
Somebody needs to put their laces through a shot in the box. None of this side footed shit.
