"Nutsin so a, premier league team that is amongst the biggest spenders in world football have proven with that spend that they can't play more expansively against a weakened mid table championship team without leaving holes at the back which proves the manager of that expensively assembled team is right not to... Fuck me if anything that isn't an endorsement for him.. That points out why people want him out."

[Nutsin]

"Ron Eff, No they didn’t dominate the second half. What game was you watching? We were in their half for long periods. You must be drunk."

[Iron Duke]

That was shit. Mubama is a donkey and Fornals has fallen off a cliff. Moyes shouldn’t be offered another contract when he’s dishing out this nineteenth century football.

[Ron Eff]

You’re a proper simp if you believe anything you’ve just written Nutsin. “More attacking style” is laughable. I assume you didn’t watch it? They dominated the 2nd half.

[fraser]

"Nutsin lol at that fishing attempt there isn't a person anywhere that would have watched that and summed it up like that, must try harder."

[Helmut Shown]

To give that much possesion to a second division team on your own ground is a disgrace. Moyes should hang his head in shame for the shit he dished up today. So my vote is Moyes out.

[Sir Alf]

These injuries and their timing have the potential to fvck up our whole season. Got to hope none of them are major but we’ve been lucky so far this season. Could be that 2024 we might not be so fortunate. We need 4 or 5 quality players but if Steidten can get us one it’s progress I still cannot get over how Soucek gets a free ride with the manager and so many fans. He was invisible

[Nutsin]

"First half we played some good stuff, Fornals missed a sitter, should have been 2 up at half time. Second half we were dominant for periods, Mubama and then Ings with a good chance to score, either one should have put the game away. Funny thing is Moyes plays a more attacking style that leaves us exposed at the back and plays Mubama just like everyone wants and we don’t get the result we want. Perhaps it’s time to concede that Moyes knows what this team is capable of at the moment and is getting what he can out of it. Funny thing is all the whiners are still complaining, Im starting to think you don’t know what you want or you should perhaps all fuck off and go support City or Barcelona. In the end it turned into a typical cup tie with a number of missed chances that should have been buried. End of! More importantly we now have some injuries to some key players which is of major concern. I suppose Moyes is to blame for that too."

[claypole]

I think under the right manager Cornet would have sonething to offer. Don't want to be too hard on Mubama as we were really deep for 30 mins in the 2nd half but he did struggle. Thought Bowen actually looked better as the centre forward today. Thought Johnson looked ok when he came on.

[nychammer]

Moyes is a five star cսnt for risking Paqueta in this. Now we're really fucked.

[nychammer]

small mercy that I couldn't watch this today so just catching up. Sounds like a bad game in just about every it could have been.

[nychammer]

A replay. Just what we need right now.

[GBHammer63]

"Moyes has had almost 4 seasons, all he‚Äôs achieved is to get that squad of players ( which he‚Äôs put together), playing like that. Cannot understand how he‚Äôs not been called out. Playing shit football it‚Äôs no wonder the atmosphere is shit. Fair play to Bristol, just another team which we‚Äôve made look like Brazil. I‚Äôm so sick of this negative, one idea cսnt."

[stats]

6 months is 6 months too long to continue with this shit show. Fuck off Moyes you fucking dull dinosaur.

[HammerFan43]

"""you cant slate muhbama , has had little to no service"" Complete rubbish. He had plenty of chances to challenge and get the ball but didn't. Lost all aerials battles and clumsy when he did get the ball - except once. Nearly always out of position and lazy too. Didn't help the team much and was there just made up the numbers. He's not Premiership quality. End of."

[zico]

"Had enough of Moyes now, thanks for the cup but he can't take us any further. Defends deep probably because we have centre backs who can't defend a little higher and get caught on the turn, hence their goal. Had a go a tad after the goal but why was that effort not shown earlier? This is Bristol City not Liverpool! As soon as Paqueta went off we had noting creativity wise. It's clear that Moyes thought we could get through January because Antonio was back, but surprise surprise injury prone Michail fell over and injured himself again! Mubama, whilst not a bad footballer, isn't the answer, Soucek is a bloody woeful footballer, do his few goals justify a staring place in the team? No. Alvarez would have been more effective left on. Ings, fucking hell where do you start. Bring him on as a bloody number 10 and see him miss a sitter from three yards. I'd love 120 grand a week for lumbering around the London Stadium looking like a Sunday League Footballer who has had 20 pints the night before! If you aren't going to bring players in why let Kehrer go? In fact why let Masuaku go? He would do more on the left than Fornals and probably wouldn't be too far off what Cornet may give you. Had some shocking Cup results to lower opposition over the years so not a surprise but Moyes cannot set up a team on the front foot, simple as that."

[fraser]

On a side note I'm sure I just heard that cսnt Arteta say if they played us another 99 times they'd win them all.

[Side of Ham]

Hats off to those that can still put themselves through this on any platform…..

[Alvin Martini]

"So does Tomas actually have the nerve to keep the money he gets paid for that ""performance""? I don't understand how a 6 foot plus bloke can make himself invisible like that when there's a stadium full of people watching. Incredible. He must be good at something, but it will never be football."

[daveyg]

we've been defending so deep Mubama has been part of a midfield 5 defending on third wasy line. Moyes is so predicatable. brighton all over

[Sir Alf]

"Well that went well. Injuries to 3 key players ( Paqueta, Bowen Stavros), an extra replay game in already busy schedule and exposure of poor quality squad and tactics again. That said our finishing was poor early on. Fornals should have scored and another chance should have gone in. So always a chance they get one back. Zouma exposed as an old cart horse. Oggy looks more athletic at 34 et years old. Bristol came to knock us about and the ref let them as there was no VAR to show him up. But fair play why not if u get away with it? Soucek well I’m beyond words ( hurray u shout ) the man is useless other than in the air. He represents all that is wrong in Moyes tactical mind. Mubama ain’t making it sadly as a Premiership player. Shame but that’s the harsh truth. Not strong enough, bad decision making and technically woeful The massive upside of all the injuries is the criticality now of Steidten getting g us some players asap. I reckon he jumped in a jet straight after the game"

[marty feldman]

I've seen Bowen limping shit loads of times during games . Hopefully it's more tiredness than anything else . In typical Sullivan fashion we've let kehrer go with no replacement lined up. Moyes is a boring cսnt . And dwarf is a tight one . something has to give . We need. Reinforcements urgently .

[1964]

Mubama useless and ineffective. Sloppy second half. Bristols deserved to win. Last thing we needed is another game and 3 more injuries

[Tomshardware]

Hard fought Fa cup match and I'll take a replay and hopefully a better performance at Ashton Gate in the replay.
