I feel sick.

 

[Stoned Rose]

We've not taken 3 good chances to put the game to bed at 0-1.

You can't do that at this level against a team as good as these.

Not sure what Yaya is playing at he's been neither deep lying nor advanced so far and just seems to be ambling around. Needs to impose himself 2nd half and run the game like we know he can.

The strikers need to be fill in at centre midfielf a lot more to. We're just inviting them to come at us.

Next goal vital.

Let's see if our players 'want' this league and our manager 'understands' it.

 

[ElMatador]

We have been outplayed. Can't get near them. Deserve to be losing.

 

[Blue Haze]

Our lack of a third central midfield option kills us in these games. Milner is not made for this tempo, game is passing him by.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Luke Shaw seems to have acres of space on the left. Not sure where Zab is at times. When they drive through the middle they look very dangerous.

You can't blame Zab for that. The first player he should meet is fucking Milner, but he's nowhere again.

 

[Aguero_Element]

the players feel sick, we need to get possession and soon

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

We getting chances but missing them again we should be up by 3/4 goals!

That donkey Dzeko needs 5-6 chances to score......

bore off

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

How long before Pelle realises when teams play against us and can hold the ball well in midfield that Yaya and ferdi isn't enough.

Defensively Yaya is awful in this type of game

Yep - get Edin on for Yaya and put Serge behind a 3 point attacking trio with the Beast

we'd be slaughtered. Jimmy M in the middle one of Aguero/Negredo off and Navas on the right... Push Yaya on. Win.

 

[andrewmswift]

need a big performance in this half, i still think we will win but need to see some ingenuity and recognition from the manager and team

 

[sh249]

our better players are among the best in Europe. It is when we need to supplement them or when they aren't firing that we look in trouble.

Kolorov and Demichelis are an absolute liability on the left. Milner is offering sweet fuck all.

Kolarov is playing as he always does - decent going forward, unreliable defensively. Agree on the other two - Milner is just nowhere near good enough on the ball when he's put under pressure, Demichelis just looks as ropey as fuck.
