Entire team looks out of gas.

None of the team besides Rodri & Khusanov had any fight in them.. we were outhustled and outplayed played from the starting whistle to the end whistle.

Shocking.. absolutely shocking

DonnaTrauma As good as he is, that was horrifying for the Chelsea goal.. Traumatic 3 chances and he couldn't save/ clear it.

I'm not giving up but we're a 75-85 point team.. that sadly just isn't enough to win the league this season! Just don't see us getting 90 points this season.

Congrats Arsenal or Villa..

Be careful. I was called a tosser and all sorts on here for saying almost exactly the same thing a few days ago.
 
Lots of people will be flogging Foden and Cherki for not creating enough no doubt, but if you watched from the stands you would see the amount of ground the covered by those two was immense. They were also always trying to work an opening. What doesn’t help is your centre forward not making the right movement and just clogging up space just standing there. His movement has been terrible this last month and I honestly would rest him v Brighton and play a false 9. Either he’s totally knackered or he’s got an injury. He’s not putting it in that’s for sure. On 80 mins Chelsea were playing out from the back and Bernardo raced past him to close them down whilst Haaland just stood there. This after Bernie had covered every blade of grass. It would be understandable if it was the other way round.
We need a couple of real quality signings this window if we are going to have any chance of catching Arsenal. Our injury problems are now as bad as last season and we saw how that worked out. Doubt we’ll be able to get anyone other than Semenyo though

Haaland has played too many games this season already.

Nobody likes a bad day at the footy. But believe your eyes and the scores

City has hit a brick wall and we just don't have enough quality available or good enough in the squad to rotate
The truth is clearly, we are not in any sort of condition to mount a title challenge right now. Yes, we could get a helping hand from others taking points of Arsenal, but at the moment they are coasting towards the title

You're joking right?
The main issue we have is players and tactics constantly ignoring the qualities Haaland has. We virtually never look to play him in quickly over the top. If you ignore anyone enough on the pitch they're going to start not doing the things they're good at. Haaland isn't to blame for anything, it's the tactics and players not looking for him.

I’ll accept that Haalands movement was shite today but so was Foden’s final ball. We should have killed the game off and if Haaland had scored with his post rattle maybe we would have done.

Long way to go yet but I think the lack of depth in our squad will scupper us unless we strengthen in January

I can’t think anything could have gone worse. We dominated the game, lost two defenders to injury, and conceded an equaliser in added rime. Thank goodness we didn’t let Ake go.

Well they could have scored a winner in the remaining two minutes of added on time

And to be honest I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had done
