He’s just fucked the game up, been shit so far this season, and has been shit for the last 2 seasons, he shouldn’t be starting for us, end of.


I think he's started this season quite promising. The red card was a huge brain fart, bit I'm still hoping for him to come good. We all know what levels he is capable of reaching (and sustaining).

Should have been a penalty there for City. Enzo being held in the box.

Be inclined to get O Reilly on for Semenyo and play Guehi, Dias and Gvardiol as 3 CB and use wing backs. Would mean Cherki could stay central behind Haaland then

If you get kicked in the back while laying down. You react.

Amazing how it's just brushed off when Maguire isnt even trying to play the ball, just block Enzo

I think he’s been pretty shite whenever we’ve played a majority of must win games against top teams and also against the Munchens.

He’s been one lazy cunt in today’s matxh so far - walking. Around and not even hassling their players.

Semenyo is slow as fuck and I’d take him off this half - get that ex Everton player on.

Although we've been the better side since down to 10 so maybe he'll keep it like it is.

I back Enzo to make the necessary tactical tweaks here. They're still there for the taking here. Just need to keep it tight.

Id take the draw now. We should keep it tight and just try to pick them off every now and then. Basically play against them like Hull and Everton did.

What next? No shoving in the box before a corner? No tackles? No hard passes?

Poor starting 11.

Every play giving it away.

Semenyo has gone wank. Needs dropping when doku is back.

Struggle to see what enzo adds for all this hype and money? I dont see anything.

Donald nowhere near the free kick.

Need a change and id bring nico and or bou diddy on.

Then one or both of the wingers later.

Anderson is the only midfielder doing any work and Haaland js WALKING when we have 10 men tbe lazy cunt.

Seeing the reply again, Foden doesn't even touch him with his boot, just brushed him with his shin. Absolute farce

This one is on Maresca. His insistence on playing Foden over Bouaddi left Anderson completely isolated in midfield right from the start. Persisting with Foden, who has looked lightweight for a while now and can't hold the ball or win any challenge may prove costly
