Why is Gary Lineker taking like someone has died? Yeah the fans disrupted the silence, it’s disgusting but fuck me.

Shows how tough it is at the business end of the season.

In the summer we need more than just Haaland.

A top defensive midfielder and someone like Sane.

They have Salah, Mane, Jota and Diaz that are deadly.

We have slow players that somehow miss absolute sitters.

weve had 2 chances to get shot off and pissed about sums us up

No changes. Fuck off. Looks like Pep has given up on this game too

Was the least important game left IMO but hate to see us playing so badly.

Grealish isn't a false 9 so stick on one wing and Sterling on the other. Jesus is a striker, let him play there. Just so many square pegs trying to fit in round holes. Not that I blame the front 3 as they have had very little ball to play with.

Midfield is where the problem starts I think. Foden just keeps giving the ball away (tired I assume), Bernardo seems to be trying to press on his own which leaves huge gaps and Fernandinho is past it at this level unfortunately.

Not condoning the Booing.

But how many times do other fans boo in minutes silence ?

Big deal made because it us.

u

if you thought before the match we weren't losing this you were delusional. no walker, no KDB and half the team too dead tired to play today. this is the price you pay for getting the harder draw in the CL

it was to do with prioritisation ffs

What does grealish do? I’m not hating on him, just want it explained to me

I do think I can see in him, why we bought him. It’s his first season and he’s not the first to find it takes time to adapt, but…..

He’s too slow for us at the moment. In mind and body. He always wants an extra touch. He’s caught on the flats of his feet and he holds the ball too long. Can’t make his mind up.

Apart from that he’s great.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

And now the club has to make a public apology, embarrassing.

 

[Gazza]

Fucking Lineker going on and on about the chanting in the minutes silence.

He's trying to undo any sympathy we got in midweek.

 

[OntarioBlue]

ESPN here in the States also blaming Stones on Steffan's mistake for taking too many touches and a "horrible ball" (too strong I think)

Fair shout.

I made the same point on here earlier and got the expected response.

Steffen made a terrible mistake but it was a poor back pass by Stones.
