I just want to see a decent performance and some confidence in our play.

100% this

Can't be any worse than last Sunday. Come on City

Exactly. All I'm asking for is a middling okay performance. If we still lose, having given it a good go, then so be it.

I said what I said to try to avoid an ongoing spat between you and the other poster; nothing more sinister than that. Of course, the report function is there for you, if you feel that what I said is against the rules of the forum. Enjoy the game.

1 draw and 6 defeats from our past 7 away games , yuck.

 

[its a Barm]

Getting ready for the game.
Switch TV on, not yet
Medication taken, check
Cushion to hide behind, check
Whisky bottle ready, check
Champagne ready ( just in case ) check

Haha enjoy the game boys and girls

Sadly we have no midfield so we can’t play this way. Plus both doku & savi lose the ball a lot putting extra pressure on our one man midfield of Gundy

what about Grealish and Silva who are being picked in those positions - they are not what I would describe as attacking wingers

 

[Roachy]

Means little even if you believe this.

they haven't lost at home since the opening game of the season.

Our last away win in the league was a lucky injury time winner against Wolves who look doomed to relegation already.

We are as brittle as any side in the premiership has been this season.

It's unbelievable how we've wilted in recent months. Hoping for a result in some positive capacity today.

Is it too much to ask that our players just give their all and don’t gift any daft goals

 

[Blu1]

Hope we have been working on corners & throwings. That would be a positive today

Cmon city

 

[hilts]

Shite on paper?
Don't like the sound of that

Cut and an infection not to mention the smell.

Joe Hart on 5 live is making me start to believe.

He told younger city fans we've been worse!

Talking about the club having the best business structure in the world and the club will find a solution with time and patience and the club attitude isn't knee jerk but decades ahead in planning.

Some may call it nostalgia

Story of my life...

 

[Barcon]

I don’t know why I keep getting up at this hour. Come on you Blues.

 

[Mike S]

So we only have Rodri Bobb and Diaz injured. One defender one midfielder and one attacker.

That’s not horrendous any more.

Ederson ? Nunes ?? And I'm sure there's another one or two....

 

[Cambo]

That’s a slow midfield with Gundo and Kova. Add to that Jack and Silva on the wings and I’m not positive about this at all. Opportunity for Foden if he is being played in the 10.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Yes

Damn

 

[Pedestrian]

McDonald's approves this post.....

Clever.
