You hope so, But a long layoff can be hard to find your form again and his age is not on his side when you are looking to recover quickly,

Let's wait and see.

Was Walker the problem tonight, really?

Akanji, passes all over the place.
Bernardo, all over the place, literally, but not in a good way.
Foden, ineffective.
Stones, well off it early on.

3 subs that were terrible.

Overall a terrible team performance but he was no worse than anyone else.

The issue with Walker is how limited he is.

He's in the team for his defensive ability. Which has been poor for a while now.

Playing him changes our shape, and not necessarily in a good way.

But no, I wouldn't say he was the problem tonight.

Worst performance for a long while. And (the good news) the only games we've lost this season have each been to a deflected goal.

What other midfield would you have picked today?

That's the point, recruitment was poor in the summer.

It's still early days obviously and you'd expect kovacic and nunes to learn, but as of now they're nowhere near the level we require.

I'll admit and apologise for using personal insults, but to be honest, you've personally insulted yourself more with your outlandish comments than anyone else ever could. Now find a corner and go hang your head in shame

At least you’ve given me a laugh tonight

He is our only fullback, there never has been and never will be a team with one full back.

There must be something going on behind the scenes . The players are just going through the motions and are a shadow of what we were a month ago.

WELCOME BACK TO THE NORM

MANCHESTER CITY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS

 

[Gray]

You're a cheerful bugger.

I am concerned we are not getting any positive news about him.

Love ya man. But you're a right knob
