What the fuck is with set pieces? We used to be good at them.

When we had Dave Watson, yeah.

I’m normally Mr blue tinted specs and generally try and stay positive, but after a promising start, we have faded badly and let them back in.

Not calling any individuals, but we don’t seem to have a formulated plan playing out from the back.

Very disjointed.

That Lino rule is fucking ridiculous and it’s surprising not more defenders are injured making last ditch tackles.

Fuck

Come on city

Good for twenty minutes , miss sitters and then surprise surprise the opposition score having been outplayed. Add the goals we are missing with Haaland , KDB , Gundo and Mahrez it’s frightening. We look lost upfront and Champions league qualification for next season is looking highly unlikely.

The game clearly affects mental states. There are a number of absolutely stupid posts in here.

Some utter shite. One minute in and I'm out.

Let's not scapegoat Nunes and pretend everyone else is great. He is our new signing and not the reason we are losing today. Signing someone for a critical DM position where we are running Rodri to the ground would be a start, tho.

It’s not the lads fault… he’s just not a Pep type player at the moment. He might adjust in time but at the moment he is not helping us control games at all.

2nd half. Bernie into the middle, Foden wide right, Kova on for Nunez and take Akanji off and play with 10

I'm tempted, and i don't like to do this as normally he's fucking awesome, but that's as bad a 45 mins as i've seen bernardo play....so maybe he comes off and we stick phil on the right?

That goal is just hideous from Rodri and Akanji. Absolutely criminal.

 

[drthingy]

Even though it’s only 1-0 it feels like it would be some turnaround.

 

[Damien10]

Oh what I would do for Doku,Kevin, Haaland to come out this second half!

 

[mattcity5]

don't understand what Nunes is doing on the pitch ahead of Kova

Or ahead of anyone else either.
