Nunes 6
Bernardo 6
Gundogan 5
Kovecic 6
Foden 5

Haaland 4


Can’t win ‘em all folks but Pep needs to work his magic as we are way off it at the minute.

Gvardiol is some player.
Walker just needs to go to Saudi. Can’t believe they voted him our captain again.

 

[Jason]

Lucky it was only 2-1 great performance from Bournemouth another shit performance from us and injuries can't be an excuse for playing that bad.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

I’ve never seen a team be so apathetic for 83 minutes, then play like their lives depended on it for the last 10.

Fucking infuriating City. Let’s hope this will see a few heart to hearts in the changing room and we kick on from here.

No logic to having Kev on the bench today, a few of those youngsters could have brought something to the game based on midweek.

 

[B\connellblue]

Late rally nearly saved a point but in reality we should have been 4 or 5 down at that stage. Peps subs, not for the first time came too late. We've got away with it a few times this season unfortunately today was a bridge too far. Pep needs to make some big and fairly obvious calls even if he hurts some of our stalwarts feelings

 

[JamesMCFC]

We need bodies in January can't be playing gundo and kovacic in the middle all season.

We got lucky against Wolves and Fulham

 

[Frank the Yank]

He got the assist today !

He did indeed but his overall anonymity doesn’t make up for one cross, which was a special header btw.

 

[Ken92]

When is the so called future ballon dor winner foden, starting to consistently play at a world class LVL?

 

[Mr. Shush]

Fucking awful. Pep threw it with his lack of subs.

If I were McAtee I'd be insulted.

Walker with probably the worst performance I've seen from a City player not named Kalvin Phillips since Kolarov away at Southampton.

Agree. Worst I've seen from Walker but, to be fair to him, he didn't look fit and didn't go full tilt until that run he made to chase down a break. And it looks like he hurt himself again.

Subs came on way to late. Doku comes on and changes the feel. As well as Lewis. Nunes is man of match for me. Gundo looked lost out there. Foden no aim. Bournemouth were good. Deserved the win.

 

[Stoned Rose]

That’s been coming for a few weeks and I said in last week’s post match we wouldn’t get away with it against a cracking little Bournemouth side.

Yes the injuries are ridiculous but we still had enough in the 11 to come away wiry something today imo.

The same will happen v Brighton next week.

 

[xmusampa]

Would’ve been fucking criminal if we’d got anything out of that.

Shit. Backing out of tackles all over the pitch. Again.

It’s all too tepid. Slow. Bottleless. Boring.

As soon as Lewis came on, we upped it because he had the audacity to actually play the ball fucking quickly and with some urgency. Unlike the rest of them.

No fight in a lot of them for 83 minutes. Injuries? Fine. But that starting 11 should’ve been enough given Pep doesn’t make many subs anyway.

And don’t get me started on Walker. Christ.

At least the tarquins lost.

When did Walker start jumping up and turning his back rather than actually try and win a header???

 

[axlgod]

Deputy Dog-shit.

 

[jayblue]

Thank fuck it was only Bournemouth. We'd have been destroyed today by a better side.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

A truly horrible performance apart from the last 10 minutes. It is sad to see the state of Kyle Walker. He has been great for us but they targeted him today. His legs have gone. Mind you Ake was also poor, and Gundo. We will need to buy in January to refresh the team. This result has been coming for some time. The only positive is Arsenal also looked terrible and Liverpool not much better either today. We are still in this battle but Pep will have to find a magic solution to our midfield. No Rodri and no KDB looks a bridge too far for us.

 

[WestGorton]

We are conceding identical goals every game.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

We immediately played better when Gundogan went off, who could possibly have anticipated that?

But but but he got an assist.

Laughable how some people can't see the bigger picture.

He's been turd since his return. Just because he's a City legend doesn't gloss over his shit performances week in week out.

His assit meant fuck all in the end. But maybe his awful performance contributed more to the Bournemouth win than his assist did????

 

[ysmsa]

Can't help but think we have talked ourselves into this defeat.

All fucking week all I've heard is injuries, fatigue, too many games etc etc
from Pep and the fans.

Fuck all should have been said, and anyone needed today should not have played last Wednesday!

I hope those idiots demanding a strong team at Spuds midweek are happy now!

I and most couldn't give a shit about losing that, today though means a lot more.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Without Ed, we were being thrashed today. I mean, we're looking at 4-1, 5-1, easy. In a way that we haven't been for many moons.

 

[eastmanc]

That sums up how we've played all season. Yawn. Most exciting 10 minutes was that last 10 mins of this game.

That was the most frustrating thing about the game. We only put pressure on them in the last 10 minutes, why that didn't happen earlier I don't know.

 

[BHsteve]

28 games to go ,2 points behind the dippers WtF !!
City will come back ,

 

[manimanc]

Absolutely shocking, only turned up for last 10 mins. We need a big big overhaul next summer, makes you wonder if Txiki has ‘retired’ or if he’s been told to leave cause this squad is a disgrace, far too many old and injury prone players.

Disgrace?
