We seem to have stopped our short fast passing game.

what’s with all the players trying 50 yard cross field worldy passes esp concelo?

we seem to have lost our flow.

 

[HelloCity]

entire weekend ruined. We Will not win the title this year

Our best start to a season for years.

Unbeaten and had chances to win, Villa crying for everything all game not the worst result we were by far the better team.

Foden should have come off sick of seeing him on the floor whinging at the ref, Cancelo was ball watching so bad for the goal he should have been cutting out that cross.

Did the ref blow bang on 4 mins after time, sounded like it.

Makes the Dipper decision mid week even more bent.

Villa had a perfectly good winner chalked off. We can’t be moaning about the officials today.

Not great today, build up play was far too slow and we were n't on our game today. Alvarez should have been brought on instead of Mahrez.

The decision to let go of Sterling and Jesus and give Mahrez a new 3 year deal already looks crazy. God knows how it'll look come the end of the season when those two are scoring 20+ goals for our rivals and Mahrez is stuck on the bench.

That first sub has cost us two points, and that's on Pep.

Feel sorry for Erling - was awesome again. Everyone else, poor.

This completely.

Thought our build up play today was slow, we were flat footed at times… Alvarez should have started ahead of Foden IMO, Walker below par yet again and Rodri had an off day.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Ok you only half showed ‘em but you didn’t give in. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans.

John Boy must have done ok as he is getting quite a few votes for MOTM!

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

A poor performance, all things considered. Our passing was very undercooked in the first half. We created enough to win it, though, it's a bit more worrying that we are struggling to keep a clean sheet at the minute. Think the key job now is to find a bit of balance.

I don't know what is wrong with Walker. Cancelo as well had one of those games that he has every five games or so where he looks all over the place.

Made easier by Liverpool's result, and you don't lose the league in September, but we could do with getting some recent on Spurs next week and I'd be very nervous what they can do playing something similar to Villa tonight with much better players.

Looks like we got first season Rodri back. Slow and slower.
