Had a mare today...guess everyone does sooner or later.

Stek bailed him out big time.

One of those days -exactly.

Jags is still a good player

First penalty unlucky because of the deflection from Seamus, second penalty no need for this challenge. Otherwise he played really well together with Williams. So many blocks and interceptions, flying bodies and tackles in every city attack, especially before we start our counter attack.

This..... 1st penalty was a result of Bolasie's abysmal clearance. Jags made the initial tackle on Silva , ball bounced off Coleman back behind Jags. 2nd penalty was his fault .... that challenge needs to be outside the box or he has to back off in the penalty area. Other than that , he tackled and blocked well. The pass that was intercepted out of our area in the 2nd half was because Geuye switched off to have a chat with Oviedo rather than stick with the play. Jags = solid / honest / hard working pro ! If some of our " talented" members had his work ethic ....we'd be in much better shape !

Aside from the two penalties he defended well and started the movement that led to Lukakus goals

This Man City team are immense, stuff like this will happen

If a defender makes a mistake you need your keeper to sort it out, in this case Stekelenburg saves our bacon but how often have Jags saved us? Its a team game, so come on not many teams will get away with points from the Etihad

Does anyone think we will still be in for Kone from Sunderland should their current form continue? We went all out to get him in the summer and he did sign a new contract, but let's face it there not worth the paper they are written on. Due to sunderlands start and impending relegation I feel we would get him cheaper than what we would have in the summer.

Aside from the pens he played well and helped keep the defence in shape. I still cannot get my head around the challenges for the pens............a player so experienced shouldn't make them.

Utterly hopeless.

Get Mori on, at least we stand half a chance of getting a goal at the other end.

GwladysBlue · October 22, 2016

When is he going to stop getting into the first 11 based on previous seasons?

He is finished at this level.

The fact he is captain is a joke, too.

If Koeman chooses his team on merit, WTF is this lump of lard doing in it?

Can't be one rule for Barkley/Mirallas and another for Captain Fantastic.

Have to say two games on the bounce he has looked absolutely bobbins. Another one and think that's him out for a break. Koeman isn't afraid of making changes and if rfm is looking good in training will get a chance sooner rather than later.
