Grealish put it on a plate for Mahrez against Chelsea. Like he did for Haaland against Leeds (twice).

Foden I agree with. He’s dropped off a cliff and since Pep told the boys to take their foot off the gas against the Rags, Foden has looked awful.

A complete shit show. Might be a blessing to go out but that was Pearce-like. The travelling fans should be reimbursed. Disgraceful.

This is a strange season though and I’m just hoping we can profit from this later down the line.

Nice one Pep. Another experimental fuck up.

Fuck off every single starter

Embarrassing. Can't even take throw ins the stupid pricks.

No desire and fight its absolutely baffling. Played tonight like they were all heading out or pep HADN'T signed an extension.

Fair point on grealish, I think I'm so used to him getting it wide then playing back that I forgot about those.

Foden I don't get though. He's the most skilful in the squad and can take on and beat people. When he's out wide he just doesn't do it. No idea what he's offering at the minute.

Very erratic this season. I've no idea what to expect from this team Saturday. And that is a big worry.

More up for a League Cup semifinal than Premier League survival it would seem.

They will definitely go down and then probably knock us out of a cup again next season. Weird club who we always save our worst for, no matter how useless they are.
