Piss poor,we are being bossed all over the pitch and only one side looks like they want the 3 points.

 

[platty7]

What the fook is going on out there . Need work harder .little arrogant this performance

 

[RandomJ]

Might as well stick Gomez on and move Cancelo to the right. He can't be any worse there than Walker has been.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Why is Hinchcliffe begging decisions to go against us?

They’re playing with 10% more energy and pace in every position on the pitch, it’s like they’ve got an extra man.

We are so slow in possession it’s painful.

Far too many long passes that are going to nobody. Everyone is running away from the ball. Everyone is too far away from each other. Passes that are on in good positions are being made too late or not at all.

Foden had to fucking pass that ball to Haaland at 0-1 to go 0-2 up and he shot again like last week for fuck’s sake.
Cancelo had to square that ball earlier to a Haaland.
Walker (is he injured he’s been terrible?!) had to play that ball out wide to Bernardo and he didn’t - Bernardo was wide open for the pass and Haaland was wide opine in the box for Bernardo to find.

Got to be better in every department second half of we’ll be losing this game as they have been better than us. We’ve been utterly bobbins!


Andy Hinchliffe is so fucking annoying. He needs to shut the fuck up!

 

[Cricket Blue]

Awful
They don't look arsed

 

[brummie blue]

Time for a Pep rocket at halftime

someone needs to give Pep one for this ridiculous system

 

[geek24601]

If only Foden wasn’t selfish we would be 2-0!

 

[01cravend]

we have to speed up the ball to Haaland, he makes so many good runs

He'll stop bothering making them when Foden is on the ball at this rate.

 

[bluealf]

Bluealf...watch him ...3 x games could be nerves but the ball bounces ofg him. We used to say abouut lads like this 'second touch is a tackle' he has great pace and power BUT packed defence...hope im wrong ..but THAT shit as you say is fact. He will wack loads in running on ..but

Watch him?

Have you watched him?

Did you see his touch when he set up Mr Whippy for example?

Of course, we are not playing to his strengths which would be a lot fairer to say than saying you don't trust him.

 

[teddykgb]

Joelinton not on a yellow is a real surprise

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We've been here before and come out smiling.

 

[super_city_si]

Much work to do at half time.

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

Where to even start with this one...

Entire defense + Rodri abysmal. Bernardo/Foden just as bad. Gundo/KDB getting overrun. Haaland a complete passenger with rather shit hold up play.

 

[yankblue]

Walker actually looks slow and old. If he isn’t injured, how can his body fail him almost overnight? You’d think it would be more gradual.

Pace tends to fall of a cliff. Not saying that is what is going on with Walker but pacy players tends to drop off quickly when it happens

 

[TFC]

I don't say this often, but thank fuck for HT, that was desperate stuff

 

[skillman]

How many fouls has Joelinton made without a booking?!

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

I think this screams for Alavarez's energy and pressing.

Agree. Think we need a bit more skill up front in this one. A Sergio type player, which Alvarez is.

 

[Eoiyflem]

Absolutely fucking crap. But we've time to redeem ourselves.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Let’s be honest, once again Foden should have played the ball to Haaland. He has to start playing the simple ball - the game would have been close to done at 2-0.
