It's been a long time since we signed a "superstar"We’re adding new players and regressing
Lack physicality in midfield and unreliable defence - until that is addressed we will be vulnerable and results will be patchy at bestSpot on! As poor as that 2nd half was, we kept going and won the match.
12 months ago we'd have drawn or possibly lost that game. Slow progress but with Rodri coming back and maybe a couple of signings in January, everything's still possible this season. We can all see the negatives from today so let's accentuate the positives as we got out of jail after 2 poor results, and live on to fight another day.
But before that the Bournemouth and Dortmund wins were very good performances.We shouldn't be dwelling too much on that Liverpool win. They've lost 9 out of the last 12. We haven't actually beaten a very good side for a long long time.
I’ve said before DoF is scared of spending big £££ after Jacks underperformingIt's been a long time since we signed a "superstar"
We knew what we were getting with Haaland, but £100M for Grealish (despite him winning medals) has not ended well.
We seem to be obsessed at getting "value for money" signings, rather than going for top talent.
We're still competitive, but a million miles away from 2023.
Our DoF needs to step up
We are just fannies... Cos we tell it how it is.... We was shit simple as.But that's the point though surely?
Against Southampton we were coming off the back of winning 11 league games on the bounce and had just cemented top spot of the CL group with 5 straight wins.
By all means yes they are late winners but I'm not sure what the comparison is?
"Have an extra brew lads.Does Pep have ht team talks?
What the fuk does he say?

You're realist mate. That's exactly where we are.We're not in a title race. We are clinging on to Arsenal, but they're head and shoulders above us. I don't think I'm a doom and gloomer, and we are rebuilding, fine, but we are miles off it.
YawnGreat to get the three points but everything and everyone else was dross.
Reijnders is 27 with absolutely no idea what to do on a football pitch. He shouldn’t be playing.
We absolutely need a midfielder in January. Pep Guardiola needs to sharpen up and drop Reijnders and Gvardiol.
For all the Bernardo hate I don’t think he was bad today he did what he needed to do and tried to take leadership by forcing attacks.
Good confidence booster for Foden
It's not and standards are set.
That today was well below standards and should be called out especially given the performances the 2 games prior
Try being g realistic. Football isn't what you think should happen.The biggest problem with this team—besides those colossal drop-offs in our play once the second half kicks off—is the complete lack of killer instinct.
When Foden scored in the first attack I honestly thought we were about to win 7–0, with Haaland and Foden bagging three each and Doku adding one. That’s exactly how it looked.
But as the game went on, we just started easing off the gas instead of finishing them off.
Strange things keep happening with us—stuff I genuinely can’t wrap my head around.
GloriousGet in. Love a fucking late winner!!
