Pep needs to sort this mess out at HT. Newcastle look more likely to make it 3-1.

We go a goal up last season we snuffed teams out even when on occasions we were under the cosh,this season any team attacks us they look like scoring or we create chances for them it’s a huge drop off unfortunately from last season which surely was expected anyhow..

 

[kupest]

No leadership on the pitch and been a theme of this season of sorts.

 

[come-on-barney]

Don’t understand the Gvardiol experiment with him at left back this season. We spent a massive a transfer fee on one of the best young centre backs last season and we are playing him at left back?

Puzzling, and causing a lot of our issues. Plus Walker was being phased out last season.

 

[Mancity1980]

Whatever!
they keep outplaying teams and then switching off
You see it coming miles off
I’ll keep supporting them but they just don’t seem to have the killer instinct

Well, try and be more constructive with your criticism then.

 

[wolviedinho]

We have lost something as a team defensively.

Weird that he looks more comfortable in an advanced role than he does playing at the back

 

[Gabriel]

City player reacts like Burn he’s booked, period.

 

[paulchapo]

Guardiol out left is the elephant in the room .

I have seen absolutely nothing in him since he got here. If he's a world class center half get him in there because A: We are currently shite there and B: He is shite at left back.

 

[buckshot]

He’s been doing that consistently prettt much every week. Have you not watched any of he previous games?

He literally scored against Huddersfield from outside the box

I was talking about today, he's had three or four chances.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Rodri losing his head per usual.

 

[madloaf]

Heads have gone.

 

[Stelea]

This is a fucking shambles at the back.
All down the left

 

[Brewster's millions]

Dias has turned to shit, no leaders

He’s been shit all season - even againsta some real donkeys in the CL group stages he was fucking awful.

Walker gets dragged all over the place and when he’s out of position we’re just a sitting duck with Dias at the back. We’ve decided to help them tonight by playing Walker on the wing.

 

[heslops barnet]

Doku loses the ball and we’re fuked….

 

[Norbert D]

Wanker referee

 

[SiMCFC]

Walker isn't doing the basics again, it's a such a shame he's gone backwards so quickly

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Rodri sending off incoming to really round off the night.

 

[come-on-barney]

why it’s not his fault he is playing out of position

You mean like Gvardiol

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Rodders needs to keep his head here.
