Trying not to go off the proverbial cliff. Thought we've been excellent in the main. Finishing apart.

Dominated the ball and chances away from home against a decent side. Long way back now tho

Worrying times.

Scoreline is shite but overall we are creating plenty, this was always going to be a risk with new players learning the system, Doku and Gvardiol will learn to position themselves better as the season goes on.

On the plus side Doku looks very good, brings us something completely different.
Haaland, while he should have scored two rarely misses a hatful of chances. if we keep finding him he could well get a hat trick in the 2nd half. Team is playing well given the number of players out.

Too many players strolling around waiting for someone else to be the difference maker. Haaland should have us ahead though and he's paid handsomely to bury those chances.

Well don’t want to say told you all so but when a player is in a side City beat 7-0 it doesnt fill me with confidence he will be a great signing.

Idiot

Haaland, Alvarez & Bernardo look miles off it. On another day Haaland would have 2 already, been poor this half. Caught asleep at the back too for the goal. A bit lacklustre,which is strange to say considering we’ve dominated the ball. Need a massive improvement second half.

Less said about Haaland so far this season the better. He’s wasted four absolute sitters in the past game and half alone.

6 goals in 4 games, hattrick in his last. Leading goalscorer in the league

Seems to be doing alright this season

Yeah he's missed a couple of sitters today but it happens to the best of them

 

[Keeper!]

He's the highest-paid player in the league. He's paid to put the goal in the net as he doesn't do much else like a Jesus/Alvarez type of player. The criticism is absolutely warranted today.

100% take the shit when you miss, just like he gets the glory when he scores, part of his job

No surprise we were after Paqueta

 

[super_city_si]

Its fucking West Ham ffs

Who have bought well and are very well organized. This is a tough ask now they can sit on the lead and play on the break
