Jack was smirking away when he came on. Wouldn't be doing that too much those 2 corners anything to go by

Jack Grealish is a busted flush at City, love him as a lad, but since the treble he has fallen off a cliff, how the fuck can a 100 million pound midfielder not get into that midfield, amongst a team devoid of options, energy, spark, and yet he is a 10 minute sub, it's a sad reflection on how he has managed his City career, KDB, Gundo and Bernie should be behind him on age and fitness and yet Pep cannot get him into the side, it's a complete mystery to me. We saw a flash of his ability against Forest, on the bench against Palace, crap against Juve, and back in the cycle of being a bit part player, nowhere near good enough.

I actually felt sorry for Nunes yesterday who before his fuck up was doing a decent job in an unfamiliar role.

Pity he didn’t go to Munich, decent fee offered if I remember

Yep, the wrong decision for us....

And how does Haaland stop this ? It's the refs that should be stopping this.

Myself I can’t understand Haaland. He allows himself to be manhandled all the time. I think someone said previously he needs to stop smiling. He does, he needs to be far more aggressive and cunning. He needs to be taught a strategy, he was bullied all the match and it will continue, if you always do what you always do …….

The ref was negligent in issuing cards imo.

The thing that I can't get my head round is how every single player is playing shit, there's not one player standing out in this woeful run. Add to that that we now seem to have zero style of play anymore leads to big problems. Where do we go from here, oh Villa away, yikes!

I had to look it up..bloody memory going...oh the joys of getting old lol

Haha me too, I become a pensioner (66) in exactly 3 weeks.

mass collapse of squad form, as in barely a player has been 6/10 for the season so far, has to be indicative of a wider issue. As in it can't be coincidental. Things i can think of;

1. Burnout and subsequent total lack of fitness
2. Major disruption behind the scenes upsetting the squad, main culprit is potential bad decision from 115 thing.
3. Tactics arent working causing complete lack of cohesion, results, thus confidence.

I don't like number 2, i dont buy it.
Number 1 looks most likely and number 3 is happening because if it (compounding the issue plus dragging newer players down).
I'd say more defence of number 1 is that newer players, e.g. Nunes, Kovacic, Doku, Savinho, definitely don't look as fucked as the rest, but are being dragged down confidence-wise as they cant carry the team. Perfect storm folks.

It was on a website the other day about his penalty record..
I knew he had given a few but apart from the two you mentioned I was stumped with the third one..will have to try and find it if I can.. yesterday's was nailed on though

Edited it... apparently Bernie on Rashford..we lost 2-1 2019

To be fair, that was another stone waller from memory...........
