Would take a draw all day…….unfortunately we are looked like an ageing team in the first half….but fingers crossed we usually have a better second half

Its been said all season but the decline in our midfield is has been rapid. It’s why we don’t control games anymore…..writing this as Kev just scores

Our owners have not let us down from the day one of the takeover. They are the best owners in the world. People moaning about the corporate side, the tunnel etc…..they have had to look alternative revenues to help comply with FFP. What gives me even more confidence with this latest attempt to...

It might already have been said....although I think I have read the majority of the posts but either way the Premiership loses. Option 1 - We are found not guilty and without doubt the hateful 8 (maybe 6) will revisit the Super League. Option 2 - We are found guilty....I would imagine we would...

If we are found guilty…..and I have the utmost confidence in our owners…..are the clubs who received some of this supposed over inflated sponsorship money as transfer fees going to pay the money back. They were happy to take it ! I am sure we have circumnavigated some of the regulations….but...

Today was no surprise…..and Kev coming on changed very little and highlighted Peps unhappiness with him……careless with the ball, poor delivery and no real effort to get back behind the ball. We haven’t been creating enough clear chances for a good part of the season and I’m not sure playing...

Our midfield going back to the Mancini days has always been the best in the country by far (Barry, Yaya, Nasri, Silva Fernandinho and a peak Gundogan and De Bruyne) they did not give the ball away and allowed us complete control. This is what set us apart from the rest. We are far from that...

Badfinger ('Come and get it' , Baby Blue and 'No matter what' etc ) ended up in court due to royalties owed. Tragically this lead to two of the bandmembers committing Suicide They also wrote the Nilsson song 'Without you'

It makes me wonder if the majority of the starters against Southampton knew that they wouldn’t be playing in the Derby….might explain some of the performances including Cancelo. I also remember Pep having a similar rant about the players after he left Sterling out….basically saying if they...

The team that Allison broke up had probably just about peaked and was slowly declining…….but Owen and Barnes were two of the best young players in the country……Asa Hartford was only 28 and Corrigan and Watson were still amongst the best in their respective positions. Nicky Reid and Ray Ranson...

I don’t think theres any argument that he’s our most creative player…..however it’s his carelessness with his passing that’s really costing us control of games which used to be our strength……this has been a constant throughout the season but more noticeable now because of our defensive frailties.

Equaliser should not have stood….then a carbon copy of Madrid away and you just knew they would get a winner….we really do lack leaders. Played better for first 30 mins of second half but still didn’t get the ball into their box quickly enough. Just before the equaliser we had started to give...

Absolutely agree with most of this ...especially the comments about the derby. The only thing I disagree on is that when I first saw that line up last night I thought it would be pretty fluent with plenty of movement ( Foden and Cole in their favoured positions) and we should have had enough to...

In his defence I think the lack of movement in front of him contributed to this

Haarland, Aguero, Alvarez.......it wouldn't have mattered who was up front last night because we are far too slow and predictable in our build up play that the Centre Forward usually gets no service whatsoever. The Forward gets so isolated because unless Mahrez plays we are virtually playing...

I am not sure being asked to play different positions excuses not being able to execute basic 5 yard passes without giving the ball away or putting crosses into the stand without any pressure on him.....not to mention pulling out of 50 50 tackles. I though Gomez was poor last night but at least...

The Derby game earlier this season was the best 70 mins of football I think I have ever seen…..but we stopped playing for the last 20 and I don’t think Pep has ever picked the same side again (realise Walker has been injured) I really think the constant rotation has caused some of the issues (...

Said it the match day thread that there were many/all dire performances but Cancelo is the most frustrating player I have ever watched….cannot do the basics, gives the ball away so cheaply and a shithouse in the tackle….one player I would love is to sell.

There have been numerous crap performances tonight….but at least Cancelo is consistent…..is there are world record for giving the ball away in 90 minutes

When I saw the team tonight I really thought we would be really fluid….I’m not sure the formation is to blame for the absolutely diabolical passsing or lack of a press.
