Tad disappointing that after being 2 up

Surely Shirley.

 

[adaminho]

Personally thought there were quite a few good performances today.
Savinho - Looked quality again although maybe some chances he was a bit to greedy.
KDB - Class is permanent
Nunes - Considering he played RB thought he did quite well although obvious defending isnt his comfort zone.
Ake - Balls to the wall defending quite often
Gvardiol - As above

All in all i think a few improvements but far to open. Its glaringly obvious there is a mental issue when we concede.

 

[paulsimpson]

We should have won that . Terrible defensive lapses. Inexcusable

Pep needs to fuck off plYing his favourites now. Your job is too do what’s best for the club not pick the players you like. Fucking annoying seeing a guy who’s 34 who can’t run when you’ve got options on the bench

Fully agree. Pep owes nothing to any player. I'm absolutely livid

 

[Blu1]

Crazy that Pep didnt learn after we got dominated when he brought Gundo and Walker on against West Ham last week.

The real mistake for me it McAtee shooting, we were cruising and should have just kept the ball in the corners and passed it around until full time. I don't blame Mcatee because when you receive the ball in that situation but he should never have been given it. We lost possession, they boot it long and we are under the cosh again and concede.

Agree but you don’t bring a young kid on when you have a wise jack on the bench. Pep is fully at fault for losing that for me. Shocking subs

 

[pride in battle]

The already insufferable McAtee fanclub (already pretty much as bad as the Palmer one) got what they were constantly wailing for with Pep bringing him on to supposedly "control the game"

He then proceeded to miss a sitter just before Brentford equalise.

Mcatee coming on wtf !! Same thing with Feyrnoord, 3.0 up 3-3, Jack should have come on to keep the ball, bullshit that Pep

 

[city68]

Bad management... Unbelievable again.....

 

[City_Sean]

All the issues stem from the midfield. They just cannot run for ninety minutes. 80 mins in and Kev, Foden, Bernardo were all walking round the pitch.

Add to that your options in the six are either Gundogan or Kovacic and it's no wonder we're dropping points. The physicality is on the fucking floor.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Bang on. Akanji getting pelters but cross should never have come in.

Exactly, Our full backs or wingers never try and stop the cross coming into the box, Instead they stand and watch instead of closing down and doing everything they can to get a block in to prevent the cross.

When the ball does come in we never attack the ball, All our defenders are too concerned about the man instead of wanting to attack the ball.

I still think Ortega should have saved that header too, He got his full hand to it and the header was basically down his throat, Not like it went into one of the corners.

 

[roach3]

Only one man in that stadium thought gundo was a great idea to come on and protect our lead. We are shit at defending so should have brought Jack or Doku on and see the game out in attack, would have taken a point at the start but fuck me we are wasteful in front of goal.
Marmoush can’t get here quick enough.

 

[Damien10]

What was the Gundo sub all about.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Peps arrogant we’ve won this Subs at 2-0 bites us on the arse for the 47th time

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Why was Bernie on the pitch after 75 mins. He couldn’t run ( plus he was shit all game)

His “form” should have seen him dropped months ago. It is truly incredible he is still playing every week.

 

[uwerosler28]

I can't wrap my head around us bringing in an attacking midfield/striker in Marmoush, when we have McAtee right there, before a defensively minded midfielder. I mean, it's clear as day that's where the help is needed. Gundo/Kova are getting run past like they're not even there.

Mcatee isn't in Marmoush's league , weird comparison

 

[Blue2202]

We got a point and that is probably more than we deserved.

We had a two goal lead with 10 mins to play, regardless of whether we deserved it or not we completely capitulated - AGAIN.

Don't try and gloss it up as a point gained. It’s most certainly two more lost at the start of another very tough run of games.

 

[balotellishaircut]

At least we know we’re not getting top 4 this season with this pissed up defence. Game management is fucked as well.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Ake’s header saved us two points to be fair

How do you work that out (plus the shot was going wide)?

 

[Bluesince1979]

Was hardly his fault we conceded the equaliser

He should have scored. It was a bad miss

 

[dctid]

Same old turgid crap, slow boring and predicatable with a noticeable absence of any form of an organised defence

 

[Gabriel]

Didn’t help that Gundogan was blocking one side of the goal.
