Are they gonna start referring to him as Myles as well, because he’s got a double-barrelled surname, and he’s an also a red prodigy too?

 

[Edghill OG]

I’m sick to fucking death of watching Akanji jogging back. He’s a fucking CB and he cannot be arsed. It’s a disgrace.

Been very poor this season. Him laughing and joking with Haaland on the subs bench when we were going out to Spuds in the League Cup pissed me off. Little did we know at the time that'd be the first defeat in a horrific run of form when it looked like we were in cruise control. Smiling away whilst on the pitch during the Anfield game as well when we were behind also pissed me off. Think it says a lot about his attitude. Even with how shit we've been at the back this year he's been a stand out. Says everything when injury-ravaged Stones comes back into the team and he still looks head and shoulders our best CB.

We can buy more player but finding the right one is hard.

Well, that is why somebody at the club gets paid big money for and tbf every team has to buy players.

We could do with the next David Silva appearing out of Spain.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

All down to Walker again...oh wait

 

[avoidconfusion]

We are so unbelievably shit

 

[Mayor West]

Their xg is just over 1

So? What the fuck does that matter? Pointless stat.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

That's sick

That's sick

To be fair Stephen hawkin was a better dribbler

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’m beginning to miss Stuart Pearce.

 

[AliAdel]

bought two average midfielders when we could’ve bought rice… this is the results of such great business acumen

 

[madloaf]

We won the lot passing it around at the back, but that kind of football has been found out and usurped.

Need a team with pace, power and directness again these days.

We would break fast on counters (2017-2022) and had players willing to play through balls (2017-2023).

 

[ThreesKompany]

Glad to see Kev got 20 minutes running around aimlessly. Complete disaster. On to the Orient.

 

[super_city_si]

Any half decent team with a function mid and quick forwards will bum us. Its so easy.

 

[Gazza]

He said we were in control. Not sure that one minute counts. Unless he's saying we were in control before our goal. Which is questionable.

We were

 

[Mancity1980]

Not spending. No bollocks against the cartel in the transfer market.

You think they stopped him buying? He chose to go with what he had.

 

[flb]

Spineless, yes, but absolute howlers of mistakes have cost us this game.

Every single team say that , we are no different, our style looks tired , we aren’t anything new anymore , it’s time to move on.

 

[MMA]

Games of football has passed pep by...

8 years every team from real Madrid to droylsden has been slowly building teams and tactics against peps..

 

[Roachy]

Our confidence will be destroyed by end of feb.

So sad the board have let this happen. Majority of blame is on them

Hope we spend enough to remain 1p above bankruptcy rebuilding the team.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Xavi garcia

Did he ever really start 2 games in a row?

 

[vmsuhail]

We'll win another premier league before this lot. I know that much, however painful this is today.

The rebuild itself is a huge task and we have to get the signings right. Nothing is sure in football.

 

[01cravend]

Don't think we've pressed successfully a single time in their half
