Absolutely threw it away, heads went once they scored.

Lacking speed and physicality all over the place.

A bad summer window compounded with injuries has messed us right up.

Need De Bruyne to stay fit and get us to January. Getting Dias, Stones and Grealish back would help too.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

No Rodri
No Dias
No KDB

Heartless team

Nunes is the only one who seems to really be trying to prove he wants it.. this is just pathetic!

 

[M Gaudino]

The big worry is how to get defenders fit and get the rotation going with back to back big games coming in November and December

the forwards will be available to rotate and play the football

 

[Manchester_lalala]

That was the most predictable result ever tonight. We got a beating from Bournemouth on Saturday, we got a bumming tonight. I think we’re going to her worst before it gets better.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Rock bottom.

The phoenix has to rise from here.

 

[axlgod]

Deputy dog-shit.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Don't actually think our general performance tonight was that bad. Just poor poor errors at both ends of the pitch. Both penalties were shocking. Good to see Kev back at least.

 

[DTKOAG]

After a excellent 1st half the way we surrendered any control in that second half was criminal.
A defensive calamity

 

[argyle]

Injuries, ageing players and two summer windows buying players not good enough has come to bite us.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

some right cunts on here, proper smacked arses and spoiled twats.

Boo fucking boo, we aren’t playing great at the minute.

Grow up

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Typical City is back …. it’s been a while!

Welbeck hat-trick on Saturday anyone?

 

[dublinblue12]

I blame noel

 

[WyongBlue]

Horrible...........

 

[paulrobinson]

We’re just not a good side right now. Zero creativity.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
No gunpowder, reason, or plot…

Absolutely painful display. Full of players sulking their way through the game with their heads down.

Fucking wide open every time we lose the ball. We’re dead set on stationing ourselves 40 yards from goal - teams are happy for us to do it because they know one pass or dallying on the ball means they can turn us over and be at our 2 defenders within a second.

We’ve got our centre halves being pulled all over the gaff because one of our full backs is coming central while the other one is high up trying to condense the play.

Pep’s flat out refusal to use McAtee is winding me up too. Can he be worse than what’s on there? Not a fucking chance.

Bernie and Kovacic as a midfield 2 is painful and sets the tone for the rest of the team. They play it too safe. Slow, tepid, no energy and get turned over so quickly.

Shit all the way through the team. Nobody on there willing to take responsibility or take the game by the scruff of the neck.

Painful, painful watch.

 

[City Raider]

The centre of the pitch is pretty worrying. Without Rodri we definitely need more possession based wingers such as Grealish and Bernardo. Without that, we are so vulnerable to transition and lack the control that has been our staple for years.

 

[blue moony]

Its ok as Big Erl had his usual stupid smirk on his face ...

No way peps signing a new contract

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Hideous.

I thought the first 35 mins was the best we have played since West Ham.

The next 55 was the worst since the Mangala/Demichels Liverpool game.

Pep has fucking lost the plot. That ridiculous line up at Spurs in a game even he admitted didn’t matter was just ludicrous and cost us two central defenders.

It’s all a mess at the moment. We are lucky to be second and I can’t see this changing anytime soon. Liverpool will absolutely rip this defence a new one.

Awful night. Absolutely dreadful.
