Honestly, I think it’s time to put the Ross Barkley experiment to bed and move him on. He’s not getting any better in his entire time here. He’s not good enough and never will be.

Squad filler to get the English quota up and nothing more. 

 

Willian should have taken a tactical foul there.. he is so lazy for a substitute...

Well lets hope the Board splash some cash this week, because this is so stale and repetitive now

That would serve  some of our lazy half arsed players right

Surely we have enough with all the youth coming through now that it’s not longer a big issue for us like it was in the past?

He has glimpses, he's a bit rusty but he makes some terrible mistakes, I don't know what all that was about there.

There is one thing I do like about him and that for a majority of times he always turns and goes forward

Even when Ross loses the ball he does no more than a jog.

We are so lazy.

What is Barkley doing????

I don’t think even he knows. 

Jesus, This Second Half Performance Has Been Shocking, We Had About A 5Minute Good Performance But The Rest Has Been Poor, It's Like We Just Bore Ourselves With Our Play

He was cheap at the time, so we might make a few quid on him

Honestly I don't think we've been that bad, a disappointing 15 minutes into the 2nd half, and just loads of chances missed. It should've been more comfortable but that's what happens when you miss chances. 

OK result is in the bag. Other than that not a lot to be overly impressed by. Other than maybe Tomori who I thought played well.

We looked every bit a Championship side playing against another one. First half Hull handed us the game and we failed miserably to be grateful for it and kindly let them away with it.

Second half they upped their game and proved we only look half decent if we don't actually have to do anything to control the game.

Kovacic's second half performance just furthers my opinion that Kante is the player who should play in front of our back four.

Nobody really staked a claim to be a regular starter, including the regular starters. In particular the front three of Pedro, Batshuayi and CHO were terrible, Barkley pretty ineffective and Mount looked, once more, well out of sorts.

However we played on front of a sell out crowd which means we've done something City haven't this season!

Struggling against Hull I see alot more struggles before it gets better.

Lucky lucky lucky..

I will take it

Pawson bent twat letting them have the corner after time after denying us similar in first half

Yes but that seems to be a reoccurring theme for us this season. Not killing the game

Can't wait till next season when we sell Pedro willian and Barkley. We will have our number 11,10 and 8 jerseys with worthy players

A sloppy display all round I thought, made hard work of what should have been a relatively easy tie.

Not if any prospective buyers have been watching him.

Horrible second half, with a performance like that Bayern will destroy us. Hopefully this settles it for Alonso he simply can't defend.

We play far to much within ourselves. No killer instinct. This should have been a far greater margin of victory.

Can we delay the Bayern Munich game until we are better. Please.
