Lo Celso can run with the ball, we’re mainly bypassing him. The ball is sailing over him. Anyone else in the midfield is more likely to pass to an opponent.

yep. the problem though, when he runs he gets to a point where he has no options because there is no focal point up front, and Lucas has no idea of the runs to make. and i’m not even sure where Son is supposed to be.

We are our worst enemy again, Sanchez gifting them 2 chances in a row, Aurier with his special to gift a penalty, even Winks had that non-chalant pass, it's like they think they are playing a friendly match vs some league one team not City with plenty of players in good form. Very impressed with GLC, Lloris and Tanganga, front 3 all shit which is especially disappointing since Laporte isn't playing. We need one of them getting red carded, don't think we had a shot on goal and I doubt we don't see more brainfarts from our team.

Isnt it black and white? If Sterling isnt bought down by Hugo, he has dived?

Of course it isn't
There was contact, no yellow card.
Really cannot believe some of you guys, actually of course I can

Sterling yellow card for Dele tackle - Correct
Penalty against Aurier - correct
Penalty against Lloris - Surprised it wasn't given
Sterling should get booked for diving - Not a chance

As bad as Son has been, we can’t afford to take any goals off the pitch. The same reason why Dele needs to stay on. They are the only 2 with any history of scoring
Its mad the way some fans would take Son off and leave Bergwijn on.

At least Son has been in the game.

The player who had one good season and was then crap and moved to China for the money?

People are obsessing too much about the "quality" required for that position. We clearly need someone who can hold the ball up and win flick ons. I'd take Andy fucking Carroll. Its not even just that but if we had someone doing that we could let Lucas and Son do what they do best which is linking with the forwards. Basically all I'm saying is we are crippling 2 players by not playing to their strengths.

For 4 months whilst Kane is out literally anyone we could have signed would be better doing that role other than Lucas Moura. Even Benteke! That's how much of a fuck up it is.

I feel like Mourinho showed more emotion on the sidelines in just this game compared to Poch the entire time he was with us :ROFLMAO:

We've been shite on the ball but I think we were actually pretty good defensively aside from a couple of individual errors. We look well organised and Lo Celso, Winks, Tanganga and even Aurier have had some excellent defensive moments.

If we're going to play as a counter attacking side we need to massively improve our passing under pressure, though. We've wasted so many opportunities today and you just can't afford to give the ball away cheaply against a side like City.
I don't think we've been good defensively for that reason though. Opening yourself up to counter press is no good. Sanchez just inaccurate and Toby just seems too slow to run with the ball anymore so he just hoofs it. With Aguero and other small players for City I think Foyth may have been better suited for this game, even if he has got a rash challenge in him.

So you know when you lunge in and make a stupid tackle. It is silly especailly when its your first game. But when you are still doing it after the 100th game then there is clearly something wrong with you. Ffs.
