Depends what you mean. Christie had on unsuccessful touch and a pass completion of 76%.

Didn't feel like that in hame, whenever we pressed him it seemed like he got out of it. They did play well though, Iraola has got a bright future in management.

A game that was not out of the ordinary from other seasons.

However in previous years we had Gundogan and Mahrez to help us out with goals.

I don't think it's losing Gundogan that's the main issue, as Phil has stepped up playing more regularly and at a very high level, plus he's scoring.

It's the loss of Mahrez that's hurting us the most, imo.
We haven't replaced the amount of goals and assists that he gave us and then to compound that, we sold his replacement Palmer.

We definitely need to address that position in the summer.

Good post. I would also add all with one of the smallest squads in the league. Agree we are probably running on empty and the performances reflect that. Think we've played really well a handful of times, Fulham/Bournemouth/Rags and Newcastle away. Also feels like we need a load of chances to score, while the opposition score with their first/second shot. Maybe a tad unfair. We cant win everything every year, but to be fighting on all fronts still virtually in March is pretty good!!

We actually didn’t play very well in the Fulham game. We were just clinical. Believe it or not we only had 7 attempts that day in total and 5 went in! I think that number of attempts must be the lowest since Pep came.
 
bet 365 offered 2/1 for a bet builder of haaland and foden each to have over 0.5 shots on target and rodders to commit over 0.5 fouls in the game, after 24 mins the shots on target part of the bet was up which left rodders 70 min to commit one foul so i kept my eye on him and i don't think iv'e ever seen him let so many players breeze past him in midfield without making any kind of tackle, very strange, has he ever played a full game for us without commiting one foul, not a booking, just a foul

Why the hell do we have such a small squad?
 
A real game of 2 halves that and in all honesty, I was sweating a bit in injury time! Full credit to their manager as in the 2nd half they went for it and did very well. I thought they were excellent to be honest. They probably felt they could've taken a point but we really shouldn't have been in that position.

I'm a bit worried about Haaland though and I'm assuming he isn't fully fit yet. he just seems to be missing chance after chance at the minute. I'm sure in a couple of weeks he will be hammering them in!

Great goal by Foden who was brilliant again. He's really been superb for us this season.

And our awful set pieces where you see the Red Tops utilising and winning games from them. Can we poach our former set piece coach back from Arsenal

Yep. At least 9/10 corners are wasted for us. We rarely benefit from a corner. Yet we have Haaland, Aka and Dias up there. Dont understand why we struggle with corners..
