Paul Robinson said it was a stinker - decision, that is, not the tackle. I've not seen the 'foul' yet but I bet a pie to a pot of Bovril that it was no worse than some of the stuff where Forest just got away with a free kick! I've said it before, probably after every fuckin' game for the last five seasons, and I'll say it again, there's two ways where games, clubs and seasons can be manipulated. One is the time added on, or not added on, and the second is the flashing of yellow cards. The latter is so noticeably variable, not between each ref, but even by the same ref in the same half! Bent as a nine-Krone note!

He goes over the top, unintentionally to be fair, on Rico.

I’m getting fucked off at the players who are constantly injured. Stones, Akanji, Ake it’s becoming a joke at this point. We can’t build any momentum cause we’re changing the team every fucking match. Take the draw and move on. Big week ahead

Either we have too many glass legs in the squad or the medical staff need changing.

What a pile of crap ..FFS so if we were losing every week you would stop watching us..
I wouldn't miss a game either being there or watching it somehow.
Definitely a strange opinion if you are a blue

If we lost 6 in a row, but I saw a decent line-up I'd watch. Not watching Walker playing the whole of Croydon onside and other shenanigans.

Good post. Reasonably happy with a draw after being down twice but performance pretty average. The team really has to move the ball quicker

I could dig out players and Pep's choices in the starting lineup, but anybody who wins 18 trophies gets a free lifetime pass from me,

 

[Gundoggin]

We can’t defend for shit !
Crazily a better performance from us but conceding so many soft and avoidable goals is absolutely killing us . We need either Akanji or Ake fit next week for the derby or things could get even worse !

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

what was the plan once we let Alvarez leave ?

Oscar Bobb.

Well done blues.

I'll post before the rags and dippers and city-fans-for-2 years start creating havoc with their wum posts and entitled posts.

Great point. Could come in handy come the end of the season. After not winning in 7 games it's just baby steps for a while. We're dead on our feet, half the team not fully fit yet we've picked ourselves up and won 1 and drawn 1.

Told you this season will be tough, we need to be patient and look at the bigger picture, something most on here forget to do.

Well done boys.

I see people complaining about Pep's selections and subs - look at who we had available ffs.
Doku and Grealish were the only genuine first XI players on the bench (sorry but that's simply the facts), outside gks, both of them need to be managed carefully at the moment or we'll be down another 2 bodies.
I'll take a top 4, which this point helps towards given our situation, and a decent FA Cup run.
It's not being defeatist, and there are reasons we should have mitigated, but some on here need to be less entitled

It's a sad fact of football, but finishing in the top four is worth celebrating as the cash generated by the CL is well worth having, and being in the CL helps to attract top players.
FA Cup or top four? I'd sooner win the cup, but don't fancy rattling around in a quarter-empty Etihad for Thursday League games.

I'd rather win the FA Cup but as you say, the CL is important for money and to the players

 

[Macca77macca]

If only Rodri is missing, we have a decent chance against any team, even if we are not favourites. But if Stones, Ake, Akanji (3 from our main defenders in the Treble season), Foden, Kovacic, Bobb are also missing, plus Grealish and Doku not completely fit yet, then a point at Palace is more than decent.

If only Rodri is missing we do fine, like at the beginning of the season.

Little boy Blue go blow your horn
