Absolutely this.

Yep, defo

These lads just don't communicate. Phil was livid at Kovacic for blocking that pass

 

[Tb1981]

Right get Doku on at HT to run at Cash and push Grealish inside. Take Gundogan off.

If he was a horse…..

Down to injuries.

Can't cope with a bad run?

Some if you need to learn how to deal with moments like this.

It's Mr Billy Biggest Blue...we can all learn from him, how to be a proper blue

 

[Blu1]

We really have no idea what to do

 

[hertsblue]

Our static build up doesn't work anymore. We let teams regroup and make it impossible for ourselves.

This. Game is now about pace and power, our slow sideways passing and 75% possession without doing much with it is no longer an issue for any team playing us. Villa have done fat more with their 26% than we have with our 74% so far.
Beat City= let them have the ball till a careless pass and break at pace on them.

Cash finally booked, that's your chance Jack.

I can almost guarantee that Grealish will barely see the ball for the rest of the game.

 

[TheBlueCat]

People talk about our woeful defence (rightly), but what have we created at the other end? Again.

Haaland offers nothing. Passenger again

 

[jamielowndes]

We also miss a Fernandinho type of player. We allow ourselves to be bullied and some times you need someone to just answer the bell. Rodri was more than capable of this.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

This 10000%

I blame Gundos missus for wanting to come back.
