That dinner is really costing us this season . Haven't seen pep choose friendship over professionalism
 
Lads started so well. Doku played some good passes to the right to cause them worry a few times.

He’s given the ball away a few times but so have the others. Phil still picking up nice spots, just too narrow with no pass out the wings and the lack of movement.

There’s time to turn it around. Come on City! This side of the year is when you turn it on.
 
Yep. Not sure how many of these games we're gonna have before people see it.

This is just way too simplistic, look at the positioning of our fullbacks, we’re playing 235 with Walker often the furthest forward. Thats why we don’t have much control and are vulnerable on the break, we’re vacating the middle of the pitch.

Thats nothing to do with Doku.
 
Ortega is not in the same class as Eddie
For Walker to allow one cut inside shot is perhaps forgivable but at this level to get caught so square twice allowing any PL player a simple shot is really bad. For context look at how they close our forward play down just from effort - Kyle is having a poor season. I think his head is not right and there seems to be no way Pep wants to drop him since he signed his new deal to not go to Bayern. Eddie not saving either of those but of course is our number 1 and shouldn't be injured as a direct result of poor officiating.
 
Fed up of Walker. Offers zero to the team (both goals down his side) either offensively or defensively and spends his time posing on the ball.

Not to mention being a bit of a prick.

His headspace can’t be right at the moment as it is yet he’s a guaranteed starter - and captain! - in this team.
 
Get focused again at half time and we can beat these.

Doku has been honking today, so far.
