He was the only defender we had on the bench.

Barry left back would have been a better option for me tbh

McCarthy had a mare today.

Think this was absolutely key. He is so important in a game like this, turning over possession. One of his poorest games for us.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Ah back to last season dribble I does be thinking. ..... dreadful decisions by RM. 20 mins to go and a goal down. What a opportunity to being on our 2 wingers and have a go. No he brings on naismith!!!! So his coaching manual tells him play kone and cleverly out wide. Leave wingers on the bench. And when subbing bring on naismith out wide. Yawn. Back to last season.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

No energy for the last 10 minutes. I think subs should have been made earlier to help that.

Shame we couldnt play till the last whistle.

 

[Mozza1987]

City haven't even had to play that well here. We don't even put a tackle in. Walk in the park

 

[Tubey]

Just beaten by the better side on the day, that's the be all end all of it.

Doesn't help when you bring on Naismith like.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

We've deserved a goal, but Manchester City are just too good this season.

 

[Kantareller]

City far superior today. They deffo deserved the win

 

[RFUS]

No width, no passing. Counter attack the only tactic.

Counter attacking is a great tactic, but leaving two of our quickest players on the bench and bringing Naismith on is not conducive to it!

 

[Jimmy Flangemoth]

Well there is about 400m spent on the field.

IKR.

 

[Azza]

Hey Naismith, clear off back to Scotland.

 

[steven]

I think we have been really poor today.

 

[Huyton Layne]

deulofeu is broken, can we get a refund. looks like bambi on ice

 

[matty1878]

Oh here we go

That's right I pay good money to go
To watch dull football​

 

[Rook]

If its 1-1 that 2nd goal never happens. KOFF LINESMAN
