[Harry Dowd scored]

Need to replace Gündogan keeps losing the ball, surely De Bruyne?

[Mase]

cant warm to gundogan at all. always wants to hide.

He's a Nigel Clough mate. Absolute shithouse of a player. And a shithouse human by all accounts

agreed. what does he offer that foden couldnt??

Experience and that's probably about it.

Experienced in going hiding. We've better options on the bench.

MENDY IS A FUCKIGN CUNT !!!!! HES FUCKIGN SHIT TODAY ..AGAIN GIVING THE BALL AWAY...WANKER.

Mendy needs to sort his napper out, ref doing us no favours

[carl_feedthegoat]

Did anyone see Mendy giving the ball away again ?? they nearly scored from it.

Hes a fuckign liability today.

[blues2win]

To be honest Bernardo’s not been great but Mahrez looking very good. Can see Sane and Tintin on after 60.

[Saul Goodman]

Pep needs to quit fucking about and get Mendy out of central midfield

[nottsblue]

Lot of empty seats there today. Considering its a new season and new manager with the optimism that goes with that and that the opposition are the reigning champions, its a bit poor.

No mention of empty seats on the commentary though

[carl_feedthegoat]

Need to replace Gundo and Mendy...both urgently.

We will 100% concede today with that cunt playing at the back.

[sheblue]

Like to.see Kevin on and Silva off

[Original Dub]

Did anyone see Mendy giving the ball away again ?? they nearly scored from it.

Hes a fuckign liability today.

He's very short on game time, so I can cut him some slack... gundo however - get kdb on asap.

Bernardo is anonymous. Get sane on for mahrez

[aaron bond]

Mahrez and Sterling are playing well, with Aguero doing well too.

Fernandinho looks good. Bernardo is quiet, needsto get involved more.

Gundogan completely anonymous and Mendy having a shocker. Any chance Arsenal have comes from those 2.

He's a player Pep seems to rate..... a bit like Bravo, but I can't see it either.

[johnny crossan]

Too many curates eggs. Naming names at one nil up seems uncharitable but if the Tarquins score I may have too.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Pleased with mahrez so far. Walker been good and aguero and sterling look sharp. Sloppy patches in the middle and mendy still rusty. I’d take kdb for gundo or Bernardo at the moment. I’d keep mendy wider until his touch is back too personally.

[Nick]

Sterling great on left and I like Mahrez on right

Mendy has been pants, rusty.

[Blue In Bolton]

Need to replace Gundo and Mendy...both urgently.

We will 100% concede today with that cunt playing at the back.

Absolutely this. Been shite all match. Having said that, Laporte & Stones have looked very capable today and we need to settle down and get Bernardo in to the game. Mahrez has also looked decent today. De Bruyne on for Gundogan and fuck knows who for Mendy.

[sheblue]

Mendy just needs to play at left back.

[Nick]

Also b Silva has been quiet in his preferred role, shame he's not continued from last week

[carl_feedthegoat]

Mendy just needs to play at left back.

Skinned twice at left back..had a fresh air shot to clear and gave the ball away.

He needs to sit down on the bench and stop being a clown and focus on his fuckign football.

[Mase]

From that half id say Sterling doesn't deserve to be on what Kev is on
