Respectable display. Really good save from that first corner. Everything else was routine. wouldn't expect him to stop any of the goals although I'll say with a lot of confidence there would be people suggesting exactly that if it had been Ederson in net. Distribution seems to be getting worse...

Puts his body on the line for us, i'd wager likely against medical advice and numpties on here want to thank him by throwing him out of the door at first opportunity. Because the repeated examples of almost every defender we have on the books being rushed back, thrown in too early, instantly...

Not the problem today. He did fine under the circumstances. AS I said in kovacic's thread, Villa intentionally outnumbered us in midfield, they had Kamara, onana and tielemans as a 3, mcginn spent the majority of the match making it a 4 and rogers roamed in to make it a 5, they were up against...

Not sure what more he could have done. He and gundo did a respectable enough job, they didn't do anything wrong they were simply overrun. They had Kamara, onana and tielemens in midfield, mcginn was in there 90% of the time too and even Rogers went in there off the flank often. To combat it we...

I believe i can top that on the stupidity meter. Going back to October he chose to start Stones, Dias and Ake with Lewis away to spurs in the carabao cup, a competition by his own admission we didn't want to be in for the sake of the squad health, didn't Dias and Ake pick up knocks in that game...

Absolute wank. We had 4 players missing from the squad, rodri isn't coming back this season so forget that. Bobb who I rate extremely highly has a grand total of about 10 minutes experience, Nunes he doesn't want to play in his position and even drops him from the side when he's winning player...

I'm not suggesting we park the bus but playing a high line with man for man pressing when we don't have anybody that can run is complete suicide. We've shown that every single game for the last few months, our opponents are very, very easily exploiting it and we are getting zero benefits out of...

It's like he's asking to be sacked. Everything he's doing or more accurately, not doing is displaying the classic "already checked out and waiting for my pay off" mentality. If he wasn't pep guardiola it would have happened weeks ago. It's deeply troubling. If he cannot change things of his...

We all know stones is made of glass but we cannot lay blame on him here, he's thrown in when clearly unfit, it can be no surprise he gets injured, it's happening to every single defender. It's Peps fault. For the first goal it looks suicidal from him but it's not his fault. It's nothing we...

Garbage. Villa intentionally allowed him to have as much of the ball as he wanted because they didn't see any threat coming from him and he proved them entirely correct. You'll never see a side intentionally give that amount of space to say a Salah or Saka ot even Rogers. And if they did, they'd...

Second game in a row where he's not registered a shot. He must be fuming with the non-existent supply right now and rightly so. didn't get a single opportunity to even potentially get something to attack.

Disgraceful that. It's not even the defeat, it's the lack of fight, desire and pride from the entire team, that is simply unacceptable. I saw more effort on the pitch when the players downed tools and got smashed 8-1 to Boro. Second goal was one of the most pathetic things I've watched. Said...

Awful. Lots of possession to con the blind that we are playing well but we aren't, Villa are controlling this game comfortably without needing the ball. Villa are deliberately closing ranks and giving an acre out wide to grealish because they don't see him as a threat and they're correct. he's...

Enlighten us as to what these assurances were please. Pep doesn't give anybody assurances, not least to a youngster that's done nothing in the game to date. There's documented quotes directly from Mcatee this summer saying he needs to be here this season even if he doesn't play, he knew exactly...

Our injuries in terms of pure numbers really aren't even that bad, we've actuallt had much worse in recent seasons. That we know of, we've got 4 players missing for tomorrow in ake, dias rodri and Bobb. With huge respect to Bobb, I do genuinely think he would have made the starting spot on the...

Seems pep is now saying the exact same thing as me with his latest comments on Dias. That is surely an acceptance that his preference for a stupidly small squad was a major fuck up on his part and that they now need to add in January. Small silver lining i suppose, just a shame it has took a...

Give shrinking a watch if you want something else. Got the same writer as Ted lasso ( the guy who plays Roy kent) has that similar easy to watch vibes but imo is significantly better, Harrison Ford is good in it. Extremely slow. Been waiting for the episodes to pile up but I was dog sitting...

Bloody hell, in an extremely rare act, common sense has actually prevailed for once. Good to see the scumbags charged and somewhat surprised but very glad to see the officers face no action. The stamp was a bit naughty but was throughly deserved. Was hoping the prick of a lawyer who tried to...

Just last night I was saying elsewhere on the forum that this cycle of injuries will continue until we add numbers to the squad. Every defender is coming back and is immediately thrown straight in and expected to go full tilt until they break again because there's no alternative. It isn't a...

Plenty of examples of players clicking instantly. The man you mentioned in the previous post, Akanji came in on deadline day and made an instant impact. He was far more of a panic buy than anybody we might be looking at in January and he's been fantastic. They don't even actually need to be...
