Wilson-Esbrand must be really bad to not get in

[Nick]

He was in a back 3, woeful

[Harry Dowd scored]

From a midfield control point this must be one of the worst city displays I have seen for a long time

When the manager continues to put his mate Gundo in there all the time what should we expect ?

Gundo has been fucking abysmal .

[CTID Hants]

How do we go to from a throw in all way back to the keeper??

[Harry Dowd scored]

It's pretty obvious we are going to concede again either from a defensive fuck up or a good move.

[Mase]

Cause we’re fucking shit

[Nick]

So the football world would sub gundo AND lewis. But they are his favourites and we only have grealish on the bench (to be fair if he had balls, reilly and grealish)

[Original Dub]

Hopefully playing with the wind second half should help with a long ball approach to haaland if needed.

As with any of the matches during this injury crisis, I'll take any old win. 3 points is all that counts until we get more players back.

Come on city

I'd be happy with that. Gundo has lost the ball countless times. Started their move for their goal. I will wager no subs at ht

he is

[Harry Dowd scored]

Obviously we cannot continue with that line up. No defensive midfield, LB being targeted, losing possession in dangerous situations. Did I miss anything?

[PaulieIrish]

Dias has been incredible with some world class blocks.

Rico being bullied and not able to compete against big midfielders. But no-one else fit to play in that position is a huge problem.

Gundo giving away possession and also being targetted.

Savinho badly, badly needs a goal. Almost like he doesn't believe he's going to score now.

[Indianablue]

We are lucky to be in the position we are. Our players look absolutely fucked and are looking to take breathers. Palace have all the time in the world and just run thru us when they want to. Our defending and ability to clear our lines is atrocious, midfield carrying Gundo and KDB as passengers (he is unfit) both need to be moved on along with Walker.
To be honest there's not many wearing a City shirt I'd want to keep. Haaland, Nunes, Savinho Dias, Gvardiol and Ortega and some of them are at a push.
Matega their big no 9 looks much more dangerous, or is it us just looking shite. Forest game is such a distant memory

Gvardiol can play left back and Simpson-Pusey can play centre back. Had to be a better option

[carl_feedthegoat]

Any bets that we don’t start the second half with the same starting 11 ?

Anyone ?

[Harry Dowd scored]

Agree with above, but why are we so fucked at this stage of the season

Agrewd and Jack for gundo

Surely not, even the Mrs said our defence is hopeless, if no subs he must swap Lewis foe Bernardo I'd suggest

[Bear60]

Things are definitely not right and our manager just can’t handle it he’s great when everything is going well but now is the time to show his football genius but it’s not happening .
