Ake was our best player on the night for me. A commanding performance

Agreed

I think the Grealish corner straight to their player summed up the night !

 

[paulchapo]

Yes I was there. Toe curling.

Me too. Luther fucking Blissett with a 97th minute penalty I think. I then had to go through all the stress of getting a ticket for Bradford away and anguish until Morley's late equaliser.

I haven't seen a City team collapse so spectacularly since the 3-3 at home to Bournemouth when we were 3-0 up at halftime. Congas on the Kippax, party time then we fell to pieces.

..and no Eddy Large half time team talk!!!!

I don't know why posters are getting out their prams, it isn't exactly a shock is it?
We are what we are at the minute and that is woeful. This team has run it's course, it isn't rocket science. They've give us the treble and four in a row and after years of running themselves into the ground for us we need to give them some slack.

There was always going to be a tail off and a dip, it's happening, it's real, we just have to suck it up and crack on, no use pointing the finger or putting the blame on individuals, as a team they've all had that drop off


Get used to the fact we aren't winning anything this season, that isn't being defeatist, that is being honest with the situation.

Top 4, maybe an fa cup run and it's a decent season. Forget champions league this season, we are nowhere near good enough.

We all need to accept what is going on, simple really.

That’s absolutely spot on mate, and exactly what I’ve said last few weeks even before tonight, but I think it’s also perfectly acceptable for people to want to vent when we’ve watched a capitulation from 3-0 up and comfortable.

I think the Grealish corner straight to their player summed up the night !

To be fair it was one of our better corners...

 

[oakiecokie]

We need an RB, two CM’s and a striker in Jan. fuck me.

And according to some a new Manager.

 

[ShedDweller]

I've just watched the 3 Feyenord goals again...
I can't really work out which bits of them are worse...
The defending... an outrage against humanity...
The goalkeeping... comedic genius...

Anyway, its hard to have a go at these players after all they have done for us so I'm putting it all down to a period of bad luck that is quite unreal.

Things will change and we will be ok.

We do however need to address some glaring weakness in the squad.

 

[Stoned Rose]

We miss Dias so terribly, we’ve conceded 15 goals since he got injured. He’s the only out and out defender we have. He’s also really committed and a leader, we are sorely lacking leadership at the moment.

We need to rest Lewis, Gvardiol if we can. Walker is done and needs to go as soon as possible.

Our back four needs to be Akanji, Stones, Diaa and Ake as soon as they’re all fit. We need defenders.

Our midfield is a shambles Gundogan should be closing out matches instead we’re asking him to run our midfield. Silva offers very little in midfield or wide. Foden is off form. Nunes is a perfect microcosm of our issues right now, great when we’re playing well, offers nothing defensively and seems to lack real conviction. No idea if we’re ever going to see KDB really shine for us again. We’ve bought poorly in midfield and need to get it right in January or who knows how bad it will get.

We desperately need to dig out some results until January so our season doesn’t unravel completely.

Kev’s got no chance with his hair like that.

The day he decided it was a top idea to grow it was when it all started going pear.

I think the Grealish corner straight to their player summed up the night !

I thought the Gvardiol throw in straight to their player summed up his night.
