Been disappointing - but he's got a lot of credit in the bank. Needs a good game soon though.

Huge credit. If he never plays well again it won’t tarnish his reputation.

We have an aging midfield and that’s were the problems start and finish.

We look like a team in decline, no creativity, same old slow possession footy……tell me I’m wrong?

Side to Side chester city! Miracle there for 2 minutes.. we decided to shoot!

Thought it was a good move for him going to Spain, sadly age catching him up….

It feels weird that Doku isn't in from the start given his performance midweek. All be it was against poor opposition, he was our most threatening player all night and deserves a more consistent run in the side imo.

That may be true but Pep feels he has to rotate given the injury situation at the moment. Grealish will probably get at least 75 mins

So? We struggle without him.

You said the results bear out how shit we are without rodri. They don't though tbh.

theres no reason for him to keep getting picked. he has been non existent in the premier league. whatever system we now play (back 3 i think?) we cant carry on like that.

 

[Blue and true]

Get Savinho on. He looked unplayable the first couple of games and his since been in and out.

We cannot afford for Kev to be out long term; Rodders I think we can just about manage, both of them and I fear the season will crumble. We look desperately insipid in the middle.

I hate being negative but I said this after the Arsenal game..

The problem isn't the other teams tactics.. its our team.

The opposition looks younger, faster, hungrier while our midfield looks slow, tepid, uncreative and older. We need a midfield refresh.

At the moment we got a lucky goal and so did they but they should be 3-1 up!

Should be red lights flashing in Txiki's office.. something has to be done in January!

Agree get Musiala, Wirtz and Zubumendi in, fuck what it costs

You might have heard of De Bruyne and Rodri.

This is the second season of which we have known De Bruyne is injury prone, I’d be amazed if he plays more than half the season ffs. So this is the midfield in which we play mostly. Piss poor planning, you can’t excuse it. Gundogan was a brilliant signing to bring on after 25/30 to control the game, the fact he has started 3 games in a week is crazy.

Again though it’s the position he’s playing, giving him a free role pushed up is just suicide and a waste of a player, he’s not quick enough and gets caught in possession far too easily.
