If we lose both then what happens?

We’ll be lucky to make the playoff

Truth is it's not just one thing, there a multiple causes....
1 Rodri, no explanation required
2 Conditioning, why our fitness levels are so bad is hard to fathom. We just do not seem to have a 90+ min performance in us. I can just about remember when the last 15 would be when we'd smash teams. Now we are totally fucked in most games after 60 mins.
3 Injuries, missing Stones, Ake, Kova, Dias, KDB, Doku as well as Rodri and Bobb has not helped.
4 Loss of Form, Gundo, Foden, Bernardo, Grealish, Gvardiol and Akanji all way way off top form, why so many at once? once again unfathomable
5 Finishing, the number of chances we fail to convert is off the scale, the loss of Alvarez's GAs is huge, without Erling we'd be totally screwed
6 Sounds wimpish, but convinced we have been as unlucky as I have ever seen. Tonight eg those deflections in the first all going out, with a bit of luck we could have gone in 4 up at HT.
7 Forced into playing younger, inexperienced players like JSP, OReilly and Wright in a shit storm is the worst possible scenario. They would have to be exceptionally good to deal with the challenge.

A work of art indeed.

The hospital pass from Gvardiol for their first is similar shit to the first and second against Spurs, but particularly their first. Sometimes you just have to simply deal with a ball, and he seems to want to keep possession. His job is fucking defend. Inexplicable that he’s making these mistakes. You look at that one today for their first, just smash it towards their goal with your right foot instead of playing a nonsense ball towards Eddie. Mental.

I've just commented on this. You're absolutely right . Sometimes you've got to clear it because the situation demands it. It isn't pretty but it takes pressure off and let's the team get into position. Absolutely crucial in the last 15 minutes of a game when we haven't won anything for a while. But it's ingrained in our lads to not lose it because possession football is paramount and then when we are tightly pressed it can lead to chaos. CLEAR YOUR LINES WHEN IN DOUBT BLUES. Nothing wrong with it once in a while.

My new puppy slinks off to its crate and howls whenever City don’t win. I’ve only had it a month so not sure what it will do when we win.

shit night all round got back to my car after the game and it had been keyed, tw@ts

Emerson had a poor game as well. The second goal and running out unnecessarily for the third. He should have taken him out, got sent off and missed a game.

Only plays well with Lake and Palmer.

Anyone else even slightly enjoying this spell? We’ve been brilliant for 6 or 7 seasons and we are struggling. Feels real. Let’s see what we’re made of, players and fans.

There has always been a part of me that pines for the good old days in the doldrums. Not sure I’m quite ready yet though, I’d like a little while longer at the top please

Paul and Cole?
