It’s fucking unbelievable but very, very long. I’m taking my sweet time with it and doing dungeons and quest lines and I think I’m about 60-70% of the way through the main story. My game time is 180 hours lol.

Mine is around 135 hours and I am not even close to completion. Massive game but incredibly immersive.

At least we have Sterling and Jesus, two potential game-changers, on the bench.

At least we have the ignore button

 

[BlueBanger]

We are allergic to shooting unless its a tap in.

Because we cannot even create the half a yard required to take the damned shot.

I mean the goals nothing to do with it but creativity lacking got to be at least in part to do with relying on Walker being central. Just get him wide. Not needed there. Stones can play the first pass.

The second goal came when walker attempted something other than his safe 2 yard pass and gave it to palace.

For whatever reason I think this system is designed with Grealish in mind

 

[PragueBlue]

Not good obviously.

We look completely devoid of any structure both on and off the ball and not really creating much at all.

I really don't like these inverted full backs. Seems to stifle our play going forward and we end up with not being able to get our creative players on the ball. We can't seem to control the game and find openings the way we usually do.

Quite a few players having poor games which suggests they're not entirely comfortable with the system either.

Mahrez just stops attacks, Foden only back passes, our complete system has changed for Haarland, how many stupid balls through the middle have lead to counter attacks both at Newcastle and here

Do not agree we are giving Haaland nothing to feed on.

 

[CityDean]

Can't believe how bad Kyle looks. Maybe next summer is the year we slowly fade him out of the first team and bring in a new RB. Think playing at the end of last season injured is catching up with him.

 

[snorky]

Think the time wasting was bad first half? Just fuckin wait!

No more Walker in midfield.... please

 

[city warrior]

How close was that Foden header?

Close, and it was a great chance. He was completely alone and had time.
