[Chi-town blues]

Opponents have rumbled Doku. Time to take him out of the firing line.

3 ganging on him and no support no one running behind their full backs , no overlaps

Personally I don’t think we’ve looked at our normal level this season, even with the six wins and our usual tendency to start slowly.

Newcastle at home was our best performance, but we haven’t clicked yet and a number of players look below their usual level, most obviously Haaland although he’s not alone in that.

Too early to judge the transfer window but we had to replace a phenomenal player in Gundogan, and a very talented one in Mahrez, and we also needed to buy a top class midfielder in addition to rotate or play alongside Rodri.

Not convinced we’ve ticked those boxes to be honest and at the moment we look like we’ve bought players who look good when we’re on song, but who struggle to change a game when we’re struggling. Certainly miss Gundogan’s ability to chip in with a goal.

Perhaps we needed to be a bit more ambitious with our midfield signings and although I’m not arsed about missing out on Rice, the fact we put a bid in for him suggests to me that we didn’t really have our ducks in a row this summer.

To be honest i thought wed hit stride v forest last week. With 11 men we were superb that game.

We were absolutely shit as was that ref if u can call him that....Why have 2 for a corner and for a free kick when we are chasing the game. And as for Walker he's well off gets the ball then right foot back pass every time....Soz for rant lads...

You know we sucked when someone is moved to post this.

;)

Thought it before the game.

Hey @Courtneyneild see, typical City hasn't died!

 

[jimharri]

Ha ha, don’t think even City play 3 games in 7 days too often.

Trust me; he said it. I was staggered when I saw it.

Before today I thought it was just internet City fans that behaved like spoilt children but some of the nobheads in the away end today proved me wrong.

Apparently quite a few of the players that played significant parts in a historic treble winning season are bobbins!

Listened to the second half. Not enough chances created it seems but the guy should have been sent off.

Even with 11 men, there's no excuse to lose to this lot. I see what you're saying though.

Not seen the game. Listened to a little bit of commentary late on.

Sounds like a typical City defeat to me. The game was clearly played in the Wolves half: the match stats and player positions show City dominating.

Also sounds like the guy who socred the winner should have been sent off in the first half.

Dreadful result for sure.

A proper smash and grab, they did fuck all but be aggresive and time waste.

we were no terrible, but showed a soft underbelly and lack of strength

However Kovacic and foden were piss weak and bullied all game, unless he asked taking nunes off was a poor decision that only made us look weaker

Doku, great on the ball but he needs to support his fullback when out of possesion the first goal wouldn't happen if he tracked back.

Finally our fans haave forgotten we don't always win, some right moany fuckers stood round me
