Cant believe we put 5 past AC milan 1st half..

 

[Jumanji]

Kompany would have tracked those runs and communicated to his defensive partner.

Absolutely shambolic, shameful, disgusting defending.

Jesus, our defence has only had to deal with 3 attacks and conceded three goals, perhaps Pellegrini's comments that there was plenty of options to cover Nasty was a bit premature.

 

[lancs blue]

Lescott, Garcia and Kolarov are too slow to play in the same back four and the latter two are shit defenders.

At the other end tho we've been excellent. The quick 1 touch passing has been superb. Great to see us getting forward quickly whilst still playing good football.

They're certainly too slow to be playing a square, high line which is what I think we were trying to do in that first half.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

first half has felt like a message from Pelle to Txiki:

"thank you for the great midfielders and strikers you've bought me, here's 5-0, brilliant, cheers.

Have a look at that lot at the back though, need you to carry on the good work back there please, just a couple of newbies will do".

 

[Comrade Buka]

Jesus we need pepe.

We don't need Pepe. Zillion of better defenders around.

Having Pepe in defence is like having Balotelli in defence.

 

[mummy blue]

please tell me the score

5 3 city. Brilliant up front, leaky defence. Good game apart from poor defence.

 

[Sparkys-Army]

please tell me the score

5-3 to us. Yes, you read that correctly. 5 FUCKING 3. ;)

 

[taconinja]

Look, you can't have it both ways. If we're going to commit seven or eight forward all the time, we're going to be very vulnerable to the counter. That's just how it is.

Absolutely shambolic, shameful, disgusting defending.

Brilliant.
