This is an off season for us. Can't expect players to keep breaking record after record. Far, far too many injuries for us to absorb.

It'll be an interesting title race. Arsenal will be pissed off if we're having an off season then the Dippers come along and win it.

Really.
Stills are not a reflection on reality

You seen to have made your mind up it's the refs fault, that's fine, we disagree.

No. It’s just one factor in the game.

You are obsessed with blaming the team. It’s a bit sad really

We should give Nunez a shot in the Gundo role. Can’t do any worse.

You mean send him to Barcelona for a year!

Starting Nunes and Savinho at a tough away game was suicide!

Take those blue tinted glasses off!

You could do with some new ones clearly

Every single team in the Premier League is "stronger" than #ManCity right now on set-pieces, says Pep Guardiola.

No shit Sherlock.

P45 for the set-piece coach.

So disappointed feels like everything is against us at the moment.

I want 2 players in January.

We’d have won that if Doku and Grealish had started imo. Nunes and Savinho didn’t offer much.

Nunes wasn't a problem, he is the only one who creates chances for Haaland (5 assists so far), KDB aside. Also, 92% pass accuracy and 4 created chances today (most).

Savinho could/should have done better. But at least he's fit and available. Not his fault that Grealish and Foden have missed many games, Doku too.

Generally, our injuries have undermined our league campaign. Should reduce the number of injury prone players in the summer. As good and nice as Ake and Stones are, carrying two injury prone defenders is a bit too much.

tbf he's not on his own

But if Walker had pushed up the player would be offside..I'm not saying Lewis is brilliant but he does get a lot of unfair criticism

I agree, Lewis is the scapegoat as he's the easy target which is strange because we've far more senior players that's way off it.

I understand your point too if Walker had of been pushed up he'd be offside, I think it's more so the distance between Lewis and the attacker was a large gap and so easy to get in behind, Normally IF the player is offside in a wide position with that type of ball that was played, The full back normally still gets out to his man to stand him up or get a tackle in to the player.

It's only a small criticism of Rico for the goal, Personally I thought he could have positioned himself better, Walker was shocking, He can see right across the line, It's not laziness, It's stupidity as it's not the first time.

Walker is a fucking disgrace.

Team playing poorly.

Felt for Rico but shouldn’t even be giving the ref a decision on a second yellow.

Frustrating.
