Things aren’t always that simple. 2 years left on his contract, 100k a week wages and with his performances the last couple seasons I doubt even championship clubs would be interested. Honestly, what clubs do you think could possibly sign him?

Can we take him on a caving expedition and leave him down hole
 
Long season ahead, can't see nothing but disappointment conceding our title this season to the rags, dippers or Chelsea.
 
I'm all for letting the game flow and allowing tackles again but I think this will go against us compared to a lot of other teams.
We don't have many players that Can tackle.
Maybe it's another ploy to effect City's normal beautiful football
 
It's not the fact that we haven't scored in our last three competitive games, we've barely created any clear cut chances in them, that's the concerning side. Mind you, in all three of these games team selection has been poor, just need to get our strongest eleven on that pitch

Far too soon to say that but we do have issues.

CM is a major weakness, Fern looks done already and that's after one game, what he going to be like with several games in those aged legs?

Personally think we needed strengthening at CM, even last season in the big games we lacked athleticism and someone to dictate the game, when we have possession it's not an issue but as said the big games when we come under pressure we look vulnerable

One thing that will be different to last season, we can't let the rags, scousers and Chelsea get ahead of us in terms of points, this year it will be much more difficult to reduce the gap.

Cancelo, Mendy and Ake not for me, Cancelo is a player I simply don't get, flakey at best, Mendy, please put the guy out of his misery, it simply is not going to happen for him.

Just read a few reports on the game and it has been positioned as a Nuno masterclass, the bum licking of him is grotesque and doesn’t reflect the game. Yes, we weren’t great but it’s not a masterclass FFS.

There is one thing that really pisses me off though. Phrases such as despite missing 150m City target Kane and playing against 100m new City signing Grealish. It’s blatant negativity towards City and there is a possibility this could continue all season.

Isn’t much of a masterclass. Sit back, ride your luck, watch city inevitably miss chances whilst getting a huge slick of luck yourselves. It’s the spurs tactic every year and annoyingly it works and even more annoyingly we don’t seem to know how to combat it. Fucking madness committing most players in their final third like that, it’s why not playing Walker, a player who can make them quick recoveries was yet another brain fart moment. Don’t seem to learn from the obvious but hey ho

We need to get the intensity in our game. We had 20 mins when we were on it and then the energy went out of our game. Its fitness. It was the exact same thing last season

It an issue with this team and has been for a long time, when we dominate possession, not a problem, but in games when we do come under pressure, it is a huge weakness.
 
What a load of defeatist fuckers we have following us, Thrown the towel in after ONE fuckin game. Don't give me we need this we need that, Rags/Chavs have spent this. We had all this last December and on other occasions when we've come through.

Pull yourselves together ffs.
 
Fernandinho and Rodri are bigger problems than left back for me. We are going into a season with the most one-paced defensive midfield I’ve ever seen. And that pace is slow as fuck. There is zero mobility in that midfield and we will get rinsed time and time again. If the midfield was spot on, we could play Zinchenko/Cancelo at LB and be totally fine. We need more technical players that are also athletic/energetic. We have too many plodders.

Everybody, because the teams at the top imploded last year and we put together a record number of wins means not to worry about anything this year. Despite the other teams strengthening and hitting the ground running whilst we have looked poor the last three competitive games. Do not show any concerns whatsoever and just rely on past experiences rather than the now. Easy.
 
The players on bench looked pissed off. I don't mean about the teams performance and the scoreline. Lots of good players not getting game time, nevermind a game.(while Pep continues playing the dross)

What excuses did Mendy, Ake and Cancelo have, certainly wasn't tiredness.

Horrible from so many but the glaring issue remains and a top striker would have made little difference today.

The defensive midfield is too slow when the ball breaks down.

Fern still sees the danger but his legs can't get him there.

Gundo, Rodri, nobody solves this issue right now, certainly when we want to front load the top half of the pitch.

Thought Grealish was a real positive.

100% agree and so very true.

Ake and Cancelo , poor signings, crazy money wasted on average and unnecessary players.

Mendy, simply a bad signing and I am not sure injuries have destroyed him, they have not helped but was he ever going to be good enough? The guy has no football intelligence whatsoever.

CM has been an issue for sometime, what we could do with a leader in CM, dare I say a peak Roy Keane type, an enforcer, a bully, the heartbeat of a team.

If we could find a Dias type in CM this team would be unbeatable.

I was watching on Sky and not only were there 3 replays but it was clearly outside the box, and none of the players were unhappy when only a free kick was given, so they knew it too.

It was however utterly outrageous that the Spurs player didn’t get a yellow for the challenge, denied a goal scoring opportunity. Ridiculous.

Don't know mate, I've only had it 3 months

Has he a good left foot? Maybe a better option than Mendy.
 
we look knackered already which is a concern?! Also, Kane or another needs done asap! Oh and Mendy should never play again, let alone alongside Ake!
