Be amazed if we come out of that with more than 4 points

Maybe the players are reluctant to play even a calculated ‘risky’ forward pass for fear of losing possession and the opposition having a breakaway which puts any kind of pressure on our leaky defence.

This exactly. Anyone with an ounce of football knowledge can see this surely? There's no fix for that. It'll suddenly click with a last minute winner, or a run of 2 scrappy wins and we're up an running. Football is 20% ability and 80% in the mind. It'll change soon and loads on here will vanish again

been the best we played in a long time.

I actually thought we weren’t too bad today. Limited Everton to one chance (yes we conceded from it) and if Haaland converted his penalty and Gvadiol’s header had gone in, not to mention Bernie’s chance, we could/should have won.

I do think we’re missing the energy of Alvarez. He didn’t score a ton last season, but his constant “buzz” was important for us

It does quite often.

Agreed. First half was good but yet again we conceded.

Stop talking rubbish. The goal we conceded today was because Akanji went to play a ball and missed. That’s not because of injury. I’m guessing you haven’t been to a game at the Etihad this season because if you did you wouldn’t be making excuses. Ake isn’t fit but our best player today. No excuse for doing the basics. Niggles my arse.

if you are playing in pain you make mistakes so back off

The Haaland problem is staring us in the face , he’s great when we are at 95-100% , but a liability when a team is struggling in a team in how we play at the moment , how we are at the MOMENT, he did absolutely fuck all yet again - can’t even put penalties away now.Peak Sergio pisses all over him , Sergio hunted opportunities.

Spot on
Time for a change.
Stick Foden up front. Get back to total football like the old days.
