[Utter bobbins]

What the fuck does Pep see in games.??

It's beyond a joke at times. Getting run ragged and he brings on Gundo who can't run.

I wouldn't blame O'Reilly and Mcatee for fucking off. It's a blatant 2 fingers to them both, chucking on pensioners before them.

To be fair we deserved to lose that game on balance. But to chuck away another 2 nil lead away if crazy.

We wasted very good chances again and chucked 2 goals in at the other end.

We will get murdered in February.
Arsenal
Newcastle
Liverpool
Spurs
Forest

That should ignite the clappers v entitled contest again at least!!

Yawn

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

You bring a 34 year old Gundo on to protect a lead you pay the price

Crazy that Pep didnt learn after we got dominated when he brought Gundo and Walker on against West Ham last week.

The real mistake for me is McAtee shooting, we were cruising and should have just kept the ball in the corners and passed it around until full time. I don't blame Mcatee because when you receive the ball in that situation you would but he should never have been given it. We lost possession, they boot it long and we are under the cosh again and concede.

 

[Blueknows]

Feel sick with the ending.

Got a headache now ffs ...why can't we see.out games anymore , a la shithousery at the swamp by the corner flag not too long ago

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Well, to state the obvious: with Días there, and Rodri, there's no way that's the result. Ok, forget Rodri, we've got to live with that for this season. But even with Rúben alone, we maybe concede one, but not two.
Gutted. Having difficulty seeing it at present, but we are definitely playing better than we were.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Disagree on kovacic he played well and pulled away from the midfield multiple times plus took it under pressure in the midfield on his own

He didn’t remotely play well. Watch their highlights, he doesn’t try once to keep up with him man. Again and again and again, all he does is jog and try look busy.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

This is one where we surely bring on Grealish to retain the ball and get a few fouls.

Why bring on McAtee? Another midfielder surely to see out the game.

 

[jimharri]

Let's be honest, top 4 is our ambition this season. We're not going to win anything with performances like we've been turning in this last 3 months. And next month will be fun.

 

[Ajm1985]

Point was fair. Thought we'd lose going into it tbf. Pissed off at the game management from 1-0 though. Especially at 2-0 and 2-1. We were throwing defenders up at corners instead of time wasting. Gundo was ahead of play for no fucking reason. Haaland and KDB could easily have been subbed off as we had a lead. Just maddening points dropped

 

[kevreeves]

We got a point and that is probably more than we deserved.

Maybe actually watch the game pal, if you think we deserved nothing from that, you know F all about the game!!

 

[freshie]

Mcatee came on. That didn’t pan out too well

Was hardly his fault we conceded the equaliser

 

[Bluesince1979]

I still think we can gleam some positives from our performance there, we are much better than what we were a month or so ago.

Its not the performances though that are the worry. Its the mental weakness that has totally enveloped this squad.
You just knew when one went in we would start to crumble.
Its pathetic.

The cowardness of players like gvardiol and akanji are what mark them out as second rate players.
Akanjis ‘attempt’ at heading the ball for there equaliser was pathetic

 

[BlueAnorak]

The wheels on the bus fall off again, off again, off again.
Should have been able to see the game out - didn't.
Tiredness, Mental Weekness who knows.

 

[jaiguruKun]

There was no point bringing off Kovacic when his replacement was even less mobile. O'Reilly needs a proper run of games now.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Brining gundo on when we needed some legs to harass and stretch was a poor decision.

We went 2-0 up with him on. Kovacic has no legs either. Nobody else on the bench can play there.

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

That’s harsh. He was having to mark two players a lot of the time as Savinho isn’t great at tracking back.

He put in an immense challenge to stop Mbuemo scoring.

I'll give him that

 

[Mike N]

Midfield completely non existent. Doesn't matter who we buy in defence when teams are walking through us at will

In a nutshell.

 

[I'm Blue]

Midfield is probably in the worst shape I've seen it in over 15 years

Relying on Kovacic, Gundogan, Bernardo, Lewis in there is borderline neglect

Pray to God we bring someone in during January as you can just walk through that midfield at the moment

It's way beyond missing Rodri.
Too many passengers out there.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Unbelievable game. The signs are there and these are no mugs. Savinho is going to be some fucking player.

Fair result.

He is literally a Mahrez regen, sublime first touch.

 

[Gobshiight]

Am I the only who thought we played well up to the 80 minute? Saw shades of class again. Defense is still an absolute shambles though.

Agreed, that was much better than the dross of the last few months

 

[M Gaudino]

Haalaand should have been off last 5 minutes for the young lad.

Haaland was fooked and not closing down.

That effort from Mcatee cost us the game, not his fault but giving possession up and then they score.

Fucking annoyed with that, should have seen the game out.

they did it again in injury time, chipping cross in instead of just going for the corner
