Why not?

Looks like a fan took it from behind the goal?

Let's face it these last few weeks we've been bobbins

We’ve been dogshit since half time in the derby. Squeaking through games since then

Been out all day. Anyone got a quick summary?

Three way tie between City, the ref and VAR for who was the most shite. Brentford were better.

That’s why grealish is so good for us. We don’t get countered half as much when he’s on the field

Agreed

 

[WestGorton]

While I agree with you, I think it is a bit more complex than that. It seems that when there is an overwhelming feeling of anxiety we fall to bits. There were 10 minutes left today and there was no reason to panic at all. We would not normally fall to bits at the 80-85 minute mark so why did we do it at 88 minutes today knowing there were 12 minutes left to play?

Bad game management in my opinion. Going for a second away to Real Madrid with minutes to go is another example.

Acceleration rather than pace, short bursts to keep the defenders on their toes

 

[Scottyboi]

Need a left back and Cancelo moving to right back and competing with Walker again, insane we went into another season like this. Stones needs 10 seconds to process the pass he is about to make, no overlaps and getting in behind with full backs is making our whole build up play stale and predictable.

VAR didn't have this angle to consider.

That was one of the angles shown on the telly

 

[ProofMCFC]

Defence been woeful all season, be funny if we come up against psg or Bayern

Fair play to Brentford today, they were the better team and deserved the win. Too many players off the pace, but warning signs have been there for a while. Decision to go into the season with only two proper full-backs, and one natural winger, was always going to be a bit risky.
