Now the dust is settling, my thoughts are that we played well, should have been 3 up at half time, but just don't keep the ball well enough without Rodri, so the inverted full back business is pants. Sporting weren't as good a team as Bournemouth either, we just made them look good. Hopefully we have a heart to heart talk like when Fernandinho was here and we get our arses back into gear.

Rico lewis is not a defender.
He’s not a RB in a high line Pep system because he simply isn’t quick enough in the recovery phase.
Much more suited to midfield.
Not knocking him, love him to bits.

Media wankfest over Amorim this morning is so over the top!
Thought Sporting was fairly average myself, City beat themselves last night.
Any half decent team would have beaten us last night. Nowt to do with him.
Had he not been joining the rags no **** would’ve been clamouring for him.
Let them have their first hard on for a decade.

It makes some people massively entitled and raggish to read some of the unnecessary tripe on here tonight.
It’s the post match thread, not sure what you expect after a poor performance like that.

That's the thing isn't it, Bournemouth done a number on us on Saturday and played a hell of a lot better than Sporting.Any half decent team would have beaten us last night. Nowt to do with him.

Sporting are a piss poor team in my opinion, That's not sour grapes on my behalf, I'd genuinely see them as a team finishing 3rd or 4th in the old group phased games. They are the equivalent of a 3rd 4th seeded team.

Hopefully tonight will inspire teams to have a go and we'll have less parked busses to deal with. In many ways a wake up call we needed, onwards and upwards.
We’ve seen what happens when opponents “have a go”…Bournemouth on Saturday for example & Fulham recently. At the moment, we don’t have the defensive nous to handle it.

Does my fucking head in.
I called him as complete and utter shit after his debut.
I genuinely cannot believe this many people can watch football and not be able to see when someone is gash.
Bit harsh. He was very good in the 1st half. Superb pass to Haaland who slashed it well wide. Penalty was stupid though. Not our worst player on the night by a long shot.

I enjoyed it, he said it how it was, as one of us would.Was it? I'd have him on anyway over Rio and Owen - One's down right fucking retarded, the other one could talk a glass eye to sleep.

Nunes was the least of our problems tonight and for those making him out the scape goat needs to look at other players who play on a regular basis who were dog shite.
Spot on. The guy on the other side for example was abysmal, petulant & couldn’t get the ball past the first man

Team absolutely shellshocked after the start to the 2nd half. Got heads back quickly (just not the feet).
