Thought Savhino and grealish were the stand out poor performers today and should have been subbed far earlier.

What irks me is some of these other players who have played average to shit all season and yet with a few games to go they decide to actually give a shit.

Whatever happens end of the season , position wise , these players should still be sold and we know who those players are - zero ‘ let’s give them another seáson !’

I think that gives us the answer to our question about what the issues been all season - it was 100% the players lack of effort.

SAV end product was poor but he was involved and kept them busy. Thought Grealish was better playing more inside left than left wing but it turned into Mamoush pushing wider which wadnt good for us. Oreilly looked good pushing up on the left

I don't know why he doesn't start Doku. I understand his a tremendous impact player but he could do that for almost an entire game too.

Because he’s crap.

[blues2win]

I don’t think either Doku or Savinho are crap but they need to become more productive. They’re both young and I would give them another season because they have a lot of promise. I’d say the same for Foden for different reasons. There will be quite a few playing for their futures next season. No more excuses.

Sav and Doku are both work in progress. For me the lack of depth to the squad has really caused us to stall. Sterling and Sane as frustrating as there could be both scored more and at times won us games.

[blues2win]

We never replaced Mahrez and his goals and assists. We can’t rely on Haaland all the time. Savinho and Doku can be infuriating but they have to have movement into the box to aim at. It’s not all their fault.

World class was Mahez. His quality is not in the squad currently.

Woman interview after the match to Pep - “Crystal Palace tomorrow, what do you think about that”

The fuck is that kind of question?!! What does she want him to say?

Foden Jack drop off needs looking at. This is hypercritical but 82.30 mins approximately Foden was found in the box perfect for a turn and shot. He played a backwards pass, honestly cannot understand his safety first choices, a far cry from last season.

Since when has being crap prevented a players selection?

Haha funny but true

Basically we've tried, doesn't work. Better as an impact sub, when the defence is tired and not expecting to be run at

[Mase]

Hopefully we don’t waste £100m (or any amount of money) on Gibbs White. Would rather push Nico OR further forward into that position and give him a season there.

[blues2win]

We need a new playmaker to replace Kevin. We might need a young defensive midfielder. Im not convinced we need a new advanced midfielder. We have Foden O’Reilly Bobb Rico maybe Echeverri. Im assuming McAtee and Grealish leave which looks likely. We need full backs far more and a GK to replace Ederson if he leaves,

Think we will be after 2 keepers especially if we can tempt BL into a deal for Wirtz and use Ortega

[Mase]

Hopefully the club has learnt from this mess. We should have been getting these players in after the treble season - not all in one go
