Which one won the Treble? ****

My point is that when you build a 1 Billion squad, you should have good enough back up players.

I think the injuries may explain some of the issues.

Some, not all.

its time to stop with the wandering right back shtick, its been figured out. It all starts with fixing the defense tbh, defend deeper until we improve there, we are giving too many easy chances to the opponents. Fix it and go from there

If we could pick a settled back 5 and keeper for 3 games that would improve us immensely.

Think we have to go to a very rigid 4-2-3-1 after the international break and hope like fuck that we can keep everyone fit until January. Stones has got to partner Kovacic in midfield. No Grealish on the left means we lose all sense of shape and discipline while attacking. No De Bruyne means it's falling on Foden and Savinho to create absolutely everything. We definitely need another CM in January - just someone with a bit of energy who can put their foot on the ball.

As for the rest of the week, just get Brighton out of the way. Whatever the result. The lads are fucked. We've had to deal with eight injuries, which means the lads playing are overworked and not getting a chance to rest, which also means Pep's not getting a chance to rotate and try new things. Just need a bit of patience and a bit of hope that Pep can find something new that none of us have thought of. He's done it before, so many times. I'm taking some heart from the fact that 16/17, the beginning of 20/21, and the beginning of 23/24 felt so much worse than this.

Love your optimism and you are right of course. That however was complete dog turd.

Oh I won’t disagree but we are not down and out. Just lost a game.





0-10 against Brighton at weekend? ;-)

 

[red 2 hats]

I'm sure foden scored tonight.

That solves everything then, problem solved.

Sam Lee tweet

Is Sam Lee the city hating gimp or have I got mixed up?

Thought he'd be in the queue to give Amorin a reach around.

 

[hilts]

Keep saying the same. Nothing has changed since Brentford, he just doesn’t have the tools.

I don't think there has been one time when I look at our team and the.other side and don't think we have the better players. It's not even close. We have injuries and are missing our most important player but let's get real here the manager and players are not performing.

Rodri is out for the season and KDB is injury prone. If its gonna turn round it will be with the majority of the staff currently underperforming.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Apparently the players and coaches are arguing now

I’m not surprised. Everyone involved in that shitshow needs to be angry as fuck. It was unacceptable.

What they need to do is channel that anger and fix why we’re so shit at the moment. And show some of this anger on the fucking pitch, starting at Brighton.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

We should of finished them first 30 mins. Second half a disaster. Too many passengers

Yeah, when it doesn't go well, we can't keep it together.
