I'm guessing this twats been booted off the forum?

I'd think so. He was too obvious

 

[abu13]

We need to be more clinical

 

[skillman]

Foden and Haaland should be grabbing this game by the scruff of the neck. Neither are.

Especially Haaland. He’s anonymous at the best of times but completely nullified most of the time when we’re down.

Lewis is a kid but has no defensive IQ

He is never really there when teams attack down his side, and not physical enough when he is. Doesn't contribute enough in midfield as well. I don't get his role.

I'd take erling off.
Play dok through the middle.

People might not rate him but he causes panic in the oppo.

Erl a passenger again.

Doku shit isn’t he, so everyone keeps saying

How the fuck have we become this shit? Like what the hell is going on?

We’re just not as good as we used to be.

We’ve gone from mostly excellent signings and with odd duds, to the odd good signings and mostly just ‘okay’ players for the rest of our signings or promoted youth players.

2017-18 and 2018-19 City would beat 2024-25 City about 6-2.

It was always going to happen at some point becsuse we were so good and to remain at that level is just too hard to do. The good thing is, we aren’t that far away from having another great side as long as we pin point the weak areas and buy more players who are in their prime.

This game’s not over yet though. Always a chance to get back in this, there’s half an hour left, COYB!

Lewis should have shot

 

[paulchapo]

Amorim will make our life difficult in the Derby

At the moment beating us doesn't take any sort of tactical nous whatsoever. Draw us on, hit us on the break. Simple.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

must be a penalty...lifeline blues

Kovacic has been utter shite this evening.

He’s not alone
