Why is Bruno making the same pass over and over and over again. That cross field is so predictable, Walker is reading it like a book.

We should play Ericsson as a 10. Bench Bruno.

What do they expect?

It's the current best team in the league, with a manager who's been there for years with unlimited funds, against a new manager who's been in charge for half a dozen games who's only got a few of his choice of players playing.

Do they expect us to overrun them?

I would say they expect the team not to play like scared babies. It's one thing to be outclassed but this is terrible viewing

It’s funny the City fans booing. It’s almost as if they know they are in the heads of our players.

They only live to hate us.

The score is not reflecting the game, we are getting pummeled through the center

The difference between playing for a defensively-minded, under-qualified manager and Guardiola.

True, will be interesting to see his development once Pep leaves.

Early doors but I see Antony as quite underwhelming.

Akanji and Ake is a upper midtable team centre back partnership. And yet they make defending against us look effortless.

They're not making it look effortless. That's on us. We're not even troubling them even a little bit.

The work on and off the ball is so poor. We're chasing the ball and City are just zipping it around us. Need to keep the shape so much better. When we're on the ball, we're just forcing it too much and making passes that are just not on. No composure at all right now.

A goal would change the dynamic

Well the positive from this Mctominay performance is that Casemiro may actually now come into the team.

Should have been in there alongside each other today and drop one of Bruno or eriksen

2 man midfield · Oct 2, 2022

Just get to half time and make a change. Hope we can nick one from a set piece and just move on to the next game.

Pass it around the back for 30 seconds then lose it

Players don’t want to get caught on the ball. It’s so predictable.

Freak · Oct 2, 2022

Our work rate in this is shit

redshaw · Oct 2, 2022

We're so poor and groggy, like we've just got out of bed performance again.

We saw a glimpse if you can put some pressure on they'll misplace a pass themselves and start backtracking yet we don't follow it up.

GMoore23 · Oct 2, 2022

City haven't even been great here, we've just been utter tripe.

sebsheep · Oct 2, 2022

Causing most of the problems ourselves by being so sloppy

Giggsy13 · Oct 2, 2022

Our midfielders sloppiness has really put our back 4 under pressure.

Loon · Oct 2, 2022

Foden does look like a shite-hairdo'd, street corner dwelling, bike dropped in front the shop entrance gobshite, doesn’t he?

Still ill · Oct 2, 2022

Casemiro, Martial can't be too far away. Maybe even Wab Bissaka.

What could possibly go wrong paying a 100m for an attacker from the Dutch league. This team will never turn the corner.

Honestly £100m on him is as bad, if not worse, than £100m for Grealish.

IFC 1905 · Oct 2, 2022

Except for the CBs, all of the players are not mentally up to it.

MrBest · Oct 2, 2022

We look like a championship team.

This. Casemiro in for Bruno, and push Eriksen* up.

The Firestarter · Oct 2, 2022

Cant keep the ball for more than 5 seconds :lol:

This City team is on a whole other level.

Confidence wise, for me that's the biggest difference. They believe in their football and we are scared

TsuWave · Oct 2, 2022

At this point I'm just hoping Haaland doesn't score so I can run agenda in my groupchats. That's a win to me

We are getting torn apart!

Nope, if we could string a few passes together, we could easily have been in a scoring position.

Cassidy · Oct 2, 2022

McTominay…

GlasgowCeltic · Oct 2, 2022

ETH will never get the team where he wants it while Bruno’s there playing his anti football

No it isn't.

Ludens the Red · Oct 2, 2022

Rashford back into jogging mode. Why is Ake being allowed to walk through that space ffs.

evil_geko · Oct 2, 2022

We are making them look much better than they are, our players are just too nervous.

Stage fright

This is exactly how I'd describe our performance so far.

A left footed Sancho

Yep, McT doesn't read the game well enough against this type of passing and movement. Cas does, that is literally his thing, should had both let McT go and chase the ball, get tackles in.

Exactly this. Our front 3 are doing nothing

Still would be if he wasn’t so good at footie!

Jazz · Oct 2, 2022

We need to be more aggressive in our pressing (such as it is).

BeltUp · Oct 2, 2022

Worse teams than us have put up a better fight against City this season.

Superunknown · Oct 2, 2022

Suedesi said:

Definitely agree. We just need to create a good chance and we need to do it soon. I do think some of our football still looks 'accidental' in places, like we're launching the ball upfield and hoping that either one of our players gets to it first or their defenders make a mistake.

But we can't, and are being torn apart everywhere.
Need to step it up massively.
It's a shambles so far.
