Any team would struggle if they lost the world's best striker, the world's best defensive midfielder and our best defender.

Yeah mate for sure but we are where we are and we have just not adapted all season.

Pretty much it.

Some people just haven't accepted this season as a transition one yet. Hopefully they will after this.

Mbappe celebrating a bit early there.
He doesn't realise we're gonna score 4

I said weeks ago, Fodens attitude in games is absolutely disgusting.

I couldn't care less if a player has a bad game now and again that's football, But this thing of walking around and giving a fuck is a load of bollocks.

He's at it the majority of the season and it’s getting on my tits, He needs dropping and fast

He actually reminds of Rashford for the Rags, Just letting players in possession go past him and no fucks given.

Comparing Foden to Rashford?

Simples.....

.......they currently have better players than us in a bigger and more settled senior squad.....like we had 2 years ago.

We did to them what they are doing to us, but things will change !!

Can't take any post seriously when it starts with. Simples....

Confidence in the team, mentally, is shot.
Very difficult to get belief back in a fragile team. Got to trust the suits to do their thing and reinforce where needed.
Foden is going through a bad moment in his career. For the first time the weight of expectation looks to be smothering him.

Honestly, have to respect your dedication to the match day thread. Fair play.

 

[eversince 76]

Nothing to look for in this years Chimps League. Try again next year if (IF) we are able to finish 4th.

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

World class team vs bunch of clueless players.

 

[M Gaudino]

I meant from players of this season. Don’t want gvardiol to go or Savingo but Id prefer wingers who actually guarantee me goals now and a an actual LB.

i really dont think theres arguments against gvardiol - he had a wobble in the shocking run but generally has been good.

fuck me i forgot kovacic existed

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Foden's come alive. A good effort from distance and then a driving run. Shame Savinho was asleep for his pass.

Because he knew he was coming off. Those actions just piss me off more. Playing within himself, then saw McAtee about to replace him and suddenly he has urgency.

 

[I'm Blue]

Where's Kev? Is he alright because surely he should be on by now?

Probably saving him for the dippers massacre

 

[Rory Bluelow]

That was a great performance from Mbappe. He is absolute quality when on form.

Surprised how good he’s been. Superb.

 

[Beanhead]

Pep needs a complete rethink this summer. We will know if he’s on the permanent decline by mid-October. Same with Phil.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Where's Kev? Is he alright because surely he should be on by now?

What's the point? Crazy to think this is probably his last Champions League match.

 

[Wellsblue21]

Yes we were awful 30 years ago so we should allow our standards to drop too. Obviously the insults are unacceptable but allowing mediocrity is why our noisy neighbours are where they are now.

Nothing wrong with criticism

But it’s the disrespect that gets me.

 

[borassic]

Gundo off to be wrapped in cotton wool for Sunday

 

[WestGorton]

Just a case of getting it over and fooking off now. Save Kev for the Dippers.

Bollocks. I've heard on here he's just Rashford with better press ;)

 

[bigA]

Losing is one thing but losing without a fight is fucking criminal. Too many times we have done just that this season. We need players to at least have a go, leave their mark, not get pushed around and instead push back. Even put in a few "reducers" and nasty tackles. Put it this way, if I was on that pitch and they started to do the stepovers and other shit, I'd make sure they wouldn't do it again. I'll go through them like a fucking freight train, then back up and finish the job.
