He’s terrible. Pains me to say but it is what it is.

I agree. Tracks back, great attitude but still no end product. That said, he's not a winger. Would like to see him through the middle when Kev is benched.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

At least Kane has now won a trophy…..
Oh wait. He’s still won fuck all.
Shame really as he could do with a cup to collect all his dribble

Can’t do any worse than Silva at the moment

When was the last time we lost three away games on the trot?

Far too many here speculating and feeling pretty certain they are right when NONE of us know what is going on . Sure team selection is questionable today, but we don't know if all the players are 100 percent fit and so on . We just don't know.
Contrary to crap in the media and what idiot fans of other clubs rant on about, we do not have two world class players for every position and we have a very limited "Mature" squad.
To be fair Spuds sat back and got away with it .
We had silly comments on here like having Haarland up front and no crosses into the box - ffs . They have three very tall defenders on him , what are you all thinking about ? Their goal came about by a mistake by city players , not great play by themselves.
They also wasted so much time .
Jack was getting kicked a lot.
Mahrez was a ghost tonight.
We couldn't find the net but be fair , we were parked around their box for most of the game.
Title race is not over by a long chalk.

Bristol in the cup isn’t the shoo-in it should be either at the moment. Who knows what XI will take to the field of play and in what formation we play.
The old adage of if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it springs to mind. We make too many changes that our players don’t know whether they are coming or going

Dunno, but I've looked at our schedule and we have a good run of games to get our shit together. Except Arsenal, our next big game in the league is vs Scouse in early april. We gonna make them look good also, but until that game we can really go on a winning run if we play a normal fucking lineup.

Spot on. He gets away with it because it’s “loveable Bernie”. He’s been poor for a while now and if this is because he wants to leave he needs to go.

He congratulated Kane.
After his comments this weekend about him wanting Haaland to mirror Kane’s all round game, I still think he’s sulking we didn’t get Kane.
Oh right, it's going to be a tough couple of weeks if he doesn't sort this shit out.

If we play it...and there is the problem. He's rotating horribly and we need to get Dias back. He's a leader...not perfect...but a leader. Shit show right now.

I admire your optimism ZC. Always positive.
But how many saves did their goalie have to make? And our boy up front is 6’5”. If we can’t put crosses into the box for him to feed off to at least give him a sniff, then where are the chances coming from? Because I didn’t see us create a lot. And neither did Spurs in all honesty. Ed only had to make a couple of saves as well.
We are in a bad rut at the moment for our admittedly very high standards and we aren’t showing the consistency we are famed for. Yes there is a long way to go in the title race and there are bound to be more twists and turns, but as it stands at the minute Arsenal are favourites. It will effectively boil down to the two PL games between us both. And I’m not confident of getting the win and a draw we realistically need

Their Goalie was active or did you miss the one near the left post. Come on , They get a lucky break , time waste and put ten men in the box at home . We played them two weeks ago and as soon as we went ahead they dropped that time wasting crap.
They milked it , fekkin pretend head injury and VAR and Madley do sweet FA about it. It is conning their own fans , not just us and the general public watching. It is killing the game and People like Madley should be nowhere near a PL game.
IF City ever play like this , most City fans would walk away , simply not tolerate it . Disgusting mindset to play football .

In our last 9 away games we’ve scored 6 goals. Haaland has only 1 in his last 7 away games.
It’s become a real issue and could easily cost us silverware

Never going to get a win, the big story and fairytale was Kane beating Jimmy Greave's goal scoring record. Kane could lace his boots but he was good enough for us. Gave up mid field from the start, couldn't get it back . They got their noses in front and held us off. Didnt deserve anything. I'd agree with others that Greal8sh is like a stretch of motorway that doesn't go anywhere. Kind of like the M65. A quick journey to Nelson and Colne and a single lane traffic jam .

I agree they are a poor outfit who play drab football. Certainly against us they do. But it works. We haven’t yet even scored in 5 games at their place. That is just outrageous really, considering we’ve won numerous pots in that time. Of course they will milk it with time wasting and niggly fouls and the like. But most teams will try that v us. It is up to us to break them down. Most times we have done so in Peps time. But this season it seems we are getting more frustrated and unable to beak down teams, especially away from home. 6 goals in our last 9 away games is shocking, especially when we got 3 at Leeds.

I think he's refusing to play certain senior players, something must have kicked off. I know he has the odd brainfart but this sounds like a forced selection. The question is, are the players playing for him? If this is the case, I can see him walking before or at end of season
