He's just flashy and fast. Doesn't make us a better team, especially in games like this.

I did this debate a while ago. He's fun to watch, and certainly not the sole reason our brains fell out of our defensive minds at the end there, but he sure fucking started it by shitting out of a tackle. It's just not fucking on that stuff.

So he can lose it over there?

Gvardiol has been doing him no favours on the left, and he’s had a lack of passing options.

 

[Damanino]

if we had same conversion rate of chances like our opponents we would score like 6-7 goals per game nonstop. sometimes even 12-14...

defending from the front is a joke, wingers need to help out, fullbacks need to do their fucking job, CB's be in right position, midfield not to be run over so easily...
blocking shots and crosses is this something we think is beneath us?

Thought we actually played well

Unlucky to be behind

Yeah we have played well enough going forward but our defence is all over the place .

There are games for Doku. Parked bus hes great. Teams who have pace in transition hes a liability. A huge one.

 

[bondsman]

So easy to break in. We have no pace in the side and our fullbacks can’t or don’t want to defend. How did we allow Laporte to leave? He’s better than any defender we have bar stones who is sadly rarely fit

Not when you don't defend, no.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Yet again Rodri is wronged against, should have been a red for Guimaraes and Rodri ends up with a stupid soft yellow.

 

[heslops barnet]

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

Since he got his new contract & armband…..

 

[Keeper!]

does alvarez needs some rest? He has been poor for a while now.

lol FFS so very, very wrong
