It looked like that was always going to be the way, the Paquetta deal was the one that was out of our control and it's cost us, Nunes a poor replacementWe target and chase Bellingham our first choice from last year into summer but in the end he choose Madrid over us.
How can we predict player like that?
Lewis and Grealish made us miles better. Our problems are further forward.We played well enough but we're lacking. Lewis, Doku, even Grealish are not good enough to make us better when they come on.
Nonetheless we had arsenal pinned back and if lfc slip up we are ready to fight again. Some players need to step up though. And foden needs his form back.
Only one team wanted to win. Difficult against a Sean Dyche Arsenal team.
Not the end of the world.
We bought in a young wide player to replace Mahrez and then we realised he’s better on the left than right and then it was back to Foden on the winger shifts because Bernardo was needed in the middle as we lost Gundogan and neither Kova nor Nunes possess that skillset… it is quite a story!Weve lost 20-25 goals from gundo and mahrez and then palmer has gone to chelsea and will end up on 20+.
Theres only really foden whos stepped up and scored big goals.
We need to buy a top wide forward who scores goals.
Given how many Arsenal have scored recently then a clean sheet with such a patched up defence is not bad even given their lack of ambition.
Hoping for a big performance against Villa on Wednesday.
Before the game, most here said we would win comfortably and they are bottlers, can't change the tune now they got the result they wanted.No chance , they had to beat us today, their attitude and performance was pathetic for me
Have we beaten any of the traditional top 4 bar the rags this season?
Absolutely this, Foden, Ake played both games. Foden was knackered and Akes now injured. Fuck you wastecoat and your pointless internationals.Internationals having an impact beyond Stones and Walker. I think Ake played full games for Holland? And Foden looked shattered.
