Rocket up the arse, Haaland to bag a brace. We'll win

Think it will be 2-2. Which would be an ok result.

 

[cookster]

The most annoying thing about this team is the capacity to beat ourselves
BTW where was Gvardiol for the goal?
Poor touches happen, it should lead to a free run on the box.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Ederson was shocking on their goal . Went on his arse with a foot out instead of spreading himself.

 

[East Level 2]

17 shots to 3, 8 Corners to 2 but if you miss the chances we keep missing then means nothing

A point too many people seem happy to ignore.

I'm in

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

He's the highest-paid player in the league. He's paid to put the goal in the net as he doesn't do much else like a Jesus/Alvarez type of player. The criticism is absolutely warranted today.

The problem is giving a player like Haaland a hard time is he will probably make you look like a c*nt in the 2nd half

 

[willipp]

Poor half
Need a response

Wasn’t even that poor, we should have scored 3 or 4 comfortably. Poor from Doku and it cost us.

 

[super_city_si]

*2 yards

I was being generous

Haha, fuck off!

 

[ManCityGR!]

Haaland, Alvarez & Bernardo look miles off it. On another day Haaland would have 2 already, been poor this half. Caught asleep at the back too for the goal. A bit lacklustre,which is strange to say considering we’ve dominated the ball. Need a massive improvement second half.

International breaks are always tricky. That's why I hate them.
I like to blame them for Haaland's 2 misses :)

 

[Norbert D]

Idiot

Why exactly? He’s looked complete shit since he joined.
plus he looked shit when we battered them, maybe you’re the twat not me.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Who have bought well and are very well organized. This is a tough ask now they can sit on the lead and play on the break

Good to know you've accepted the 1-0 loss already.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Quite remarkable that we are behind in this.

Keep going and we will continue to cause them problems.

 

[wolviedinho]

It’s a freak scoreline that’s all

No he isnt , he is not on the six hundred grand the red shirt media want you to believe

 

[wattle]

People on here actually slagging off Haaland??

He’s been shit and is the reason we’re loosing. He’s also the reason we won the treble. But today he’s been shit so far and there’s no getting away from it. He’s missing sitter after sitter atm. Luckily he’s still scoring most games but he’s the reason we’re losing so far today. He’s not god you know. He can be criticised and loved at the same time

Jesus wept.....hahahahaha!!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Frustrating as fuck that half of football. Nobody to blame but ourselves, Missing to many chances.

Haaland has to score both his chances that fell to him. We need more from Bernardo Silva and Alvarez they aren't at the races today.

On the bright note Doku has been very dangerous keep getting the ball to him and he'll make things happen.

The goal we conceded was incredibly poor, Doku should have got control of the ball to start with and on top of that Akanji had to drop back one and mark Ward Prowse.

Get an early goal in the second half and we will still win this.

 

[heslops barnet]

6 goals in 4 games, hattrick in his last. Leading goalscorer in the league

Seems to be doing alright this season

Yeah he's missed a couple of sitters today but it happens to the best of them

At least he got the chances…..

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We really don’t help ourselves sometimes. The constant missing of big chances is going to bite us on the arse at some point (possibly today).

Their goal is just an abysmal one to concede. Doku can’t let that slip away from him and fuck knows what Akanji is doing marking Dias instead of dropping off. Everyone can see that unfolding apart from Akanji.

Hate to dig him out but Bernardo is showing yet again that against weaker sides, he just doesn’t cut it. It’s like he can only be arsed getting up for huge games. He takes far too many touches. He is doing Cruyff turns with no player within 10 yards of him.

Haaland could have had another hat-trick and should definitely have 2 in the bag.

West Ham are no good but miss chance after chance against any side and at some point you pay the price.
