To focus on the action that caused the award of the penalty in isolation is not right. The passage of play before that was an error by Silva. You could say the passage before that and failure to clear the ball into touch from the headed clearance was also an error. Mistakes were made by...

It’s not just Pep. Plenty on this forum are quick to stick the boots into Foden too. There far worse performers in this team this season that get less stick from Pep and our fan base.

Struggle with how many are so quick to stick the boots into Foden. Even KDB isn’t capable of playing Worldy matches every week. It’s just not possible. His stats and impact in matches this year have been very good and if you were looking at season averages I reckon he’s sitting at 7.5 and...

We miss midfield control because Pep is playing one less midfielder than last season. Alvarez doesn’t do the same midfield work that Gundo did. This isn’t meant to be a criticism of Alvarez. He’s just not a midfielder, so we’re one short. And as you say we’re also missing KDB too, that’s a...

He should have pushed Akanji back into the back 4, pulled Alvarez and brought Lewis on long ago.

For me Stones is equal to Rodri in terms of importance to this Team and how we play at our best. He’ll be a big miss.

That’s now 4 assists and 1 goal for Doku. He’s had some match.

But Jack doesn’t get 1 goal and 3 assists.

Nunes! Shocking

On commentary they said the PL had given it to Akanji.

Haaland limping in that last minute. Should have had a crack first time.

Yes. Doku assist.

Agree. Not a fan of Walker playing advanced like a winger. If Walker plays it should be right side of the back three IMHO.

My personal view is we’re playing with one less midfielder than we should. Alvarez is playing in place of KDB. Whilst Alvarez is doing very well, he’s not a midfielder or a winger and I think with no Gundo, Mahrez or KDB we can’t afford to play both Haaland and Alvarez in the starting 11...

Agree that Ake got outpaced. Akanji then ordinary header. Watch the goal again once it’s played into the box and look who is the City player strolling back to the middle of the box watching it all unfold? Not saying it’s his fault, but didn’t do himself any favours. I thought he looked slow...

Agree. But we still wouldn’t have scored. We never looked like scoring today. Alvarez Worldy aside, we didn’t come close really.

Pretty much this. Every player today, including the subs, were 3-6 out of 10. That’s not good enough by any stretch, particularly after binning the LC during the week.

He hasn’t hid. He’s made himself available and tried. There’s been a few worse than him today.

Kovacic has given the ball away so many times today

And Alvarez. Bottom line is they’re playing 5 at the back and 2 DMs. None of our front players have done anything of much note. There’s no space through the middle. Very little coming from the midfield in link up play.
