I think a lot of fans would like to give Scarles a go instead of that on pegged cսnt.
Also, Bissaka is far better on the right

AWB is better on the right, but starting Scarles wouldn’t be fair on the kid. So it’s either AWB at LB or Cresswell.

 

 

 

Very easy to assume something would be completely different without any proof.
We actually started well and should have been ahead. Unfortunate OG changed the game.

[Massive Attack]

Have to give some special credit to Summerville. Our best player by a mile so far.

 

 

Does all the hard running and excellent work, only for his pal to fuck it up time and again when Summerville puts him through. I'd be fucking fuming with him for being so wasteful in possession or getting caught offside time and again.

[Manuel]

Areola continues to be allergic to crosses. Woeful at commanding his penalty box. Apart from the occasional regulation Hollywood save he's a shocking Premier League Keeper. Total liability that breeds zero confidence in his Team. He's a fucking giant too at 6ft 5 so it's a joke how shit he is for his size. Sell immediately!

 

 

Agree, a shocking keeper at this level. never did like him.

[Maverick180180]

Areola is treating every shot and cross like a penalty
he’s commiting himself and guessing where the balls going to go
get the cսnt off the pitch now 

[Sir Alf]

Thing is, we all know Coufal is too slow in a team that no longer sits in a low block.  Both goals he was a key factor in. Even the first. That split second quicker and he gets the block in. The second one he’s done for pace as predicted.  Although letting Haaland drift off at the back is a problem too.

Kudus is not going to be stepping up to fill the gap left by Bowen.

A shadow of what he was. Now beimg physically muscled off it and when gets chances he makes wrong decisions or simply does not have the shooting technique to hit the target. No way we’re gettong £85 mill.  Needs to syart playong for the team not for Kudus Inc.

This is the weakest City team we’ve played in a while and some if what we’ve tried has been good but we lack quality in several positions and the lack of athleticism in central midgiekd continues to be our biggest problem.

I said 4-0 City and will stick with that.  

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Have been pretty decent between each box but just been dreadful inside them. We look like we could play for hours and not score, whilst every attack is a relief if we can clear it.

Coufal, Areola and Kilman all at fault for the second.

[Manuel]

I said on here the other week that Fullkrug could be useful and knock in a couple, well happy to hold my hands up there, the fella is a walking fucking disaster and makes Iain Dowie look like Marco Van Basten. Someone needs to be accountable for this signing.

[Keep dreaming]

 

Who would you play LB then??

I think a lot of fans would like to give Scarles a go instead of that on pegged cսnt.
Also, Bissaka is far better on the right

AWB is better on the right, but starting Scarles wouldn’t be fair on the kid. So it’s either AWB at LB or Cresswell.

[ragingbull]

What the fuck was arsehole Areola doing in No man's land ?

[Keep dreaming]

Have to give some special credit to Summerville. Our best player by a mile so far.

[Keep dreaming]

Yeah, this must have been unfair to Scarles. Picking Coufal was a great idea!

Would laugh out loud if he was replaced with Scarles 2nd half

[Maverick180180]

Both goals gift wrapped by Coufal and Areola
Absolute pair of clowns
expect them both to stay on for the second half though 
with our best player Summerville getting hooked

[Lee Trundle]

Coufal is finished as a premier league player.

So we'll probably do a Cresswell with him next season.

[Keep dreaming]

2-0 is a very flattering scoreline.
Thought we were bright and aggressive at times and should have scored at least one.

Unfortunately, we have Soucek, Coufal and Fullkrug who are complete dogshit.
 

[wils]

Were doing ok. But that second will finish it. Only bright spot is Summerville. He has been having some game so far. I’d take Paqueta and Coufal off second half. And start thinking about giving some youngsters some game time. 

[bell]

Dont actually think we've been that bad considering. The ref has been dogshit, massive deflection and one bit of quality and we are two down. 

If Kudos could actually have any sort of end product, could have been very different. 

[kylay]

Sounds like we don’t actually deserve this but it’s the score we were all expecting. 

 

 

The second we deserved. Kilman let Haaland go free at the back post and coufal got done for pace, if you can believe that 

[Any Old Iron]

Well that’s it then. Our pathetic run of results against the ‘big’ clubs continues. 
why has this prick of a coach swapped the wingers round?
Kudus is a brain dead dickhead

[Sir Alf]

2-0 and Coufal involved both times. 4 or 5 defeat incoming

Paqueta for all the good stuff gave it away in dangerous areas 3 times.

Kudus has been sussed put in this league

[Keep dreaming]

Fucking hell how shit Coufal is.

And what the hell did Areola actually do....

[Hammer and Pickle]

How can you sub a player at half time one game then include him in the starting line up the next?

Be Lotepegui and play Coufal, that’s how.

Fucking hell.

[onsideman]

Coufal and Kilman equally culpable this time

 

[El Scorchio]

Sounds like we don’t actually deserve this but it’s the score we were all expecting. 

[kylay]

Alvarez isn't the same player under Lop as he's being asked to chase back and cover for the defence playing a high line.
Not his game at all as he's slow and has been exposed and thrown under the bus.
Not sure why we are persisting with tactics that don't suit our players and have been proven to be a failure.

I think Alvarez is going to have a difficult time continuing in this league as a defensive mid if that's the case. I suspect his pace is more exposed now that we don't sit so deep as we did with Moyes and not a lot of teams pay that way.
