Makes me feel a little better.

we’ve only spent like £150m to be garbage, how much have city spent? How much have they regressed?

£500m recently? Look absolutely lost.

deBruyne can’t do it on his own. Jesus has to be the most overhyped player of all time?

Missing their spine of Kompany Fernandinho Silva Aguero. How do you replace them? Big recruitment job for Pep this summer.

The thing is Pep has bought a player to replace each one and it hasn't exactly worked out. I think Stones, Rodri, Bernardo and Jesus were the succession plan.

I don't think Digne totally fits but I could see them taking a look.

Dont think he's the solution as they need someone who can defend well too and I dont think Digne is a quality defender - although he'd be a big upgrade on what they have now. At least Walkers ridiculous pace helps cover some of his lack of defensive ability..

City need to get a top LB and top CB in ASAP

I think the lack of CB when it was glaringly obvious it was needed has killed them this season. Obviously no one would have predicted the Laporte situation but cover yourself at least!

I also think Aguero is world class and he’s just either injured a lot now cause he just gets hacked st or he’s trying to bleed Jesus into the side.

Even when Aguero is healthy Pep plays Jesus a lot. I think he really wants it to work but honestly I think Jesus does the bare minimum in a side with that much creative ability.

Was thinking the same thing when the started bombing the crosses. Edin would have scored there.

But if you havent got a Dzeko there then why do that? Its brainless.

I think Arteta knew full well if they kept it tight and close down De Bruyne and foden but leave Mendy open as he doesnt have the quality to play intricate passes and they knew they could deal with the crosses.

I'm struggling to think who a top LB would be though. Seems like a thin position generally.

It was a bit daft. As good as City are they do have weaknesses in attack. Mendy being one for sure.
