The Brit

Come on, that’s a bit ott. The 6-0 loss was the most horrific humiliation.

That’s the spirit.

And again.

I’m not his biggest fan but his pace and movement caused them issues in the fa cup semi and cl final last season.

Poor defending by Brentford to allow pipsqueak jota a free header

Where was the best defender of all-timmmmmmme there?

Tuchel confirmed Kante has been ill for a few days and took a punt on playing him. Think he said jorginho had a problem as well. So with Mount ruled out completely, it was a good time for Citeh to play us.

Can’t lie, I didn’t have a problem with the team picked. But I didn’t think our midfield three would be so poor, plus our wing backs were hopeless too. It meant Werner and Lukaku had no service. Those two against city’s defence could have wreaked havoc if someone could pass the bloody football to them. Another thing to look on the bright side, we have had a pretty brutal fixture list. Only palace at home was what you’d call an easy game, villa showing again today why they’re a good side. hopefully we can rediscover our mojo against the ‘lesser’ opponents coming up (without taking anything for granted).

I also suspect motivation levels were different. Citeh were really up for this after three straight losses against us, inc. cl final…whereas it looked like we rocked up thinking ‘we’re the bollocks’, believing in all the positive chat in the press…then we were shocked when we couldn’t get a touch of the ball for five minutes and seemed to sh*t a brick…once momentum is lost in a game, it’s hard to turn it round.

Was that the worst performance under Tuchel? Especially in a big game.

Three centre backs who finished the game, mendy and Ruben only ones to turn up today. The rest were very disappointing. Only plus side, citeh have only drawn level.

And Oliver helps Citeh again

Michael Oliver has been awful

Amazing how refs automatically give Grealish a free kick every time he flops over

Worse.

Says a lot that Ruben is on instead of Saul…

Mason Mount getting better with every minute of this game.

We kickstarted citeh’s title bid in january

Kovacic FFS

Alonso is showing why when fit, Chilwell is our best left wing back.

I know it was offside but can we please just count that as a shot on target. The stats are embarrassing

I don’t think Kante was fit. One of his worst games

Very Lucky goal for city but play as flat as this and you always risk a bad break in your own area

Very poor, lethargic performance. Yes city are pressing well but we are so sluggish on the ball…even Kante looks a yard off his normal levels. Hopefully Tuchel can work his half-time magic again…otherwise it’s a day where getting a point will be a good result.

Err…can we liven up please?
