[Joey66]

Not one corner, second half substitutions again bafflling to say the least a no 9 on the wing - Tom Davies playing well, as was Iwobi?

 

[Preki]

Realistically how many of our players would even make their bench?
Digne, DCL who else?
Hard to beat the resources of an oil rich dictatorship but Fulham is the stupid loss, still can't get over it.

They have won 17 in a row....miles ahead of most of the league - destroyed Liverpool last week...I think we have played well today - goals change games and the mahrez wonders trike changes it again.

If we had beaten Fulham then this would be ok, still can't get my head around that team selection

Anyway - I honestly think we can get something at anfield.

Well Steven, you have a very boring user name, but you speak much sense.

 

[maccavennie]

Godfrey, Davies, Doucoure and Richarlison. Them 4 and them 4 alone hit the levels required.

The rest of them........shocking

Again

 

[Seathestars]

Look at that City side and rejoice in the fact that given two more transfer windows Carlo will have us like that.
Start with a keeper please, a world class keeper, I can’t take ours anymore

 

[MrGrumpy]

Out classed simple as that

 

[marsh]

Very disappointing second half. City clearly a better team but why do our defence retreat into our own box all the time. We did it against Utd and Fulham. Just inviting shots.

This is annoying me so much, we drop so deep its ridiculous. As soon as we push up the pitch abit we win the ball higher up the pitch and create a few half chances

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not enough self belief. City didnt play that well and we made them look good. Not having any excuses. Its another poor loss with a lack of determination and heart.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Absolutely appalling. Sorry to say it, but there are no positives to this. We are beyond diabolical.

We will be smashed as usual at the weekend. Team of utter cowards. Sigurdsson is the worst of the lot yet he plays all the time and gets the armband. I honestly think that we will finish 11th/12th again. Even if we turn it round our goal difference is so poor it's like being another few points behind. After the weekend we will likely have a negative goal difference whilst chasing Europe - that's more Moyes territory.

 

[Mkjjones]

Haha I love jokes

 

[deipnosophist]

We tried hard. I’m pleased with the effort. Sometimes the gulf in class can not be closed though; despite all efforts.

...more-like a vast ocean than a gulf, tbf lol

 

[Fansince1988]

i would swap Davies for Gomes

Not for me Gomes is to weak and imo only a slight improvement on Sigs. Good player in a league like Spain not suited to the PL imo. But he did start the season and Allan does do the dirty work so that would help him.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

17 years since City have gave us a proper pasting, 4 since we gave them one. It’s always been 1-2 goal games both here and at the Etihad

That game under Allardyce was over in 20 minutes.
