[M23 Citizen]

We might not have Rodri back until the middle of next season with his injury.

Solly March has the same injury and he’s not played since September 2023 and there’s no signs he’s anywhere near ready to come back yet.

Injuries. Everybody grow a pair.

Walker, Gvardiol, Ake, Ederson, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland, Doku, Savinho, Gundo....yeah, you're right, no manager could work with this shit

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

You cant blame injuries for us being totally dogshit up front. Only Grealish is out, Kev back but looked rusty and will take him a run of games but worrying, other than that, this is what we are left with. Doku/Grealish/Nunes/Savinho/Silva - A complete lack of a emd product let aline goals. And 1 striker only who is missing chance after chance atm.

Doku and Savinho both lack composure atm ,
and Haaland is not firing properly.

Nunes was poor I agree.

Do you not think so many injuries affect the whole team balance.

So many injuries would affect most teams, but the first half should have seen the game over it chances had been taken.

 

[Twisted-wheel]

Not his greatest fan.....but Silvinho and Doku (when he starts) show exactly why Pep bought Grealish, and I never thought I'd say it, but he has to play when fit, particularly without Rodri.....we have so little control as the above 2 give the ball away so much, it's not % of possession but how/when they do. Grealish has that control of a game. Tbf alot of the others were poor tonight, if he doesn't score, Haaland is generally a liability.

Silvinho and doku, headless chickens with no football brains between them, take three on and then crumble at the final hurdle

 

[Semper aggressus]

Opponent goes on the front foot, lifts the intensity, and suddenly we start shirking as individuals and wobbling as a team. Happened in the opening minutes at Bournemouth and the opening minutes of the second-half tonight. Coaching staff better get into them and have them better prepared before it’s repeated at Brighton.

That’s attitude. Too many quiet, humble players now. That’s the wrong attitude, we need players that can step up, leaders who will drag the rest up, even if it’s just by shouting a lot, getting in oppositions’ faces, putting in a proper fucking shithouse tackle then confronting anyone who whinges about it.

Are there any players like Vieira, Keown, Adams, Wise, Keane (twat), Terry out there anymore? That’s the attitude we need.

 

[Phoenix900000]

I think our owners have done okay from that investment - isn’t it 17 trophies now? This was my one game

4 in a row says so

 

[I'm Blue]

According to the rag cunts at the bbc City were thrashed

We were.
The score tells you that.

 

[Gabriel]

It’s not even that. It’s we dominate the ball in their final third. We lose the ball. 3 of them bomb forward against 2 of us and they score. Every game. It’s totally tactical and can be fixed

How? I’m not entirely sure we have the personnel, fit or unfit.

 

[Sir peace frog]

Going to put that down as one of those nights, however we certainly need to sort out the counter attacks, wide fucking open again

 

[melrose40yarder]

Failure to our chances should have been 3 up at least and the game is over.
However we need a rebuild and have done for a while as some players are done or have reached the summit.
Walker and Kev can no longer be relied on.Stones is a great player but cant play 3 games on the bounce.Why we bought Gundo back is a mystery not like us at all.
We will still be thereabouts at the end of the season.Just wish Pep would stop putting round pegs in square holes.If there is a kid in the academy play them if a senior player is injured only one way to find out if they can hack it.Still come rain or shine its great being a blue.
