I thought we played very well for the first 25 min, attractive football, moving the ball quickly, totally outplayed City. Then story of our season so far, silly mistakes gifting them 2 goals.

Emerson is the weak link today and we can do with an improvement in that position. Whatever the final score, I am very pleased with the way we approached the  game, when was the last time we came to Etidah and dominated ?

If we fix the defence, we will definitely have a shot at the title next year.

Come on boys, play your game in the second half and beat City, they didn't look their best

Jorginho..  play kova and kante deep and go long to tammy

City has not been very good but unfortunately we have given them a couple of easy goals. When doing that to City I don't think there is a chance to win. When the transfer window will be open for us we should consider a huge amount of money to The LB.

Sad thing is Aguero and KdB are having pathetic games. KdB's shot wouldn't have gone in if it wasn't for the deflection

Scott we’ve made City look mediocre because of our play (well in the first 30 mins anyway). Our generally defending has been fine but it’s individual mistake which have cost us. Nothing to do with how we’re playing as a team. Good performance with a couple of poor individual mistakes.

Its all a learning curve though - they’re the champions! We’re competing, be positive !

They are all making individual mistakes though, so they are all playing poor defensively. Everything seems to be very last ditch when it comes to tackling too.

I agree. Not Jorginho's best game today. We need a presence to keep both CB busy instead of just Tammy

The difference between Chilwell and Emerson is night and day IMO.

If we can make a deal happen we should do it, if not look somewhere else.

That position needs to be addressed when our ban is lifted.

Chilwell will cost a LOT of money. We should try scouting like poo did for their full backs who are both stellar

Now city are pressing even higher, its the time to ping them long balls up to Tammy, keep doing it until they back off.

Wednesday is the biggest game of the season. Better off for lampard and cfc to make some rotating now and avoid injuries. 

Emerson defending Mahrez is a nightmare for us.

Tough one that, Pulisic is more dangerous end product wise but Willian on the burst and work rate is better. 

Need to try and get the front three involved, at the moment they’re totally isolated.

f**king hell. Typical that their deflection puts it wide ours put it in to the net.

I'm really not sure this midfield three of Jorginho, Kovacic and Kante works for us ... all a bit small of stature, and none of them are natural attacking midfielders ...

KDB is targeting Emerson like a Ferret down a warren.

Emerson has been a liability defensively.

Not switched on for the set piece. Great clearance from Azpi.

RLC would add so much to our attack.

Emerson is so much better with his feet than kepa.

f**king release the ball quicker Willian. Pulisic was running in behind AGAIN. Get your head up.
