Season is LONG. We're missing key players all over the pitch and we have to keep fighting even though I am leaning towards the negative now as well.

Not even a shot on target this half. No worries, fella, the wages are there, maybe with a Christmas bonus.

The constant changes to the back 4 is also something to raise some questions about.

I know Pep's trying to keep us fresh, as well as make players like Nico happy, but we have been leaking goals for a while after a great start.

The CDM situation is highly problematic and I think Gundo or even Kev has to play there if Fernandinho is out.

Great play Raz there. He woke up. We just can't get the final ball right and/or defenders always in the right place/resolute.

Wake up, call? Wake up call from what? We were mediocre all season long.

He is taking Sterling off, the only one who looked dangerous and keeps Sane on, who is lazy as fuck.

their first goal was an absolute gut punch and we never recovered from it.

If Mehrez gets the winner today I'll buy a shirt with his name on.

I agree, Lyon or Chelsea should have been it.

But there does seem something about the intensity of our play that has been lower IMO and we sometimes seem too arrogant as the pundits have been hyping us up all season as far ahead of everyone even as we are neck and neck with Liverpool.

The wake up call I also intended to be to Pep about some of the things he's trying that maybe he has to go away from for a bit at least.

I usually dig out Gundo for being a coward, but fuck me he had the ball then and every City player ran behind a fuckin Palace player so he had no options. No one's arsed today at all.
