Why do we constantly look like a bunch is strangers playing with each other. What the f**k is going on. 

We are absolutely all over the place. No cohesion and no nothing right now.

We have no creativity, none at all. 

How can we be this weak in midfield... its embarrassing.

 

It’s like we’ve swapped places with Arsenal since we’ve played them.

They are playing with confidence and we are as fragile as they were a couple of weeks ago.

Foden should get an Emmy.

We can still do it!

If any other manager had a run like this it would’ve been over weeks ago. Spent this much and were still sh*t and Frank has no other way of setting the team up or doing anything different. He just wasn’t ready for this level of management yet and it’s just going to keep showing and showing like today against Pep.

He's a fantastic second choice keeper.

That is what's we are.

I dont even blame the players, its the tactics

It's both, the players are good enough but they're not turning up. The press is just horrid, not compact enough at all, acres of space for the opposition when they're in our half. 
 

This is a complete shambles, I can take losing but this is absolutely clueless and we haven't had a single good display since the Leeds game.

I don’t understand what has happened to this team. We always seem to play badly against good teams.

Its because Kante and Mount are just headless chickens and all they do is aimlessly run around

All 3 of them  We had possession for 10 minutes and then surrendered, this is why Kovacic will never be a top player he doesn't have the mentality.

The good thing it’s early so we have loads of time for Frank to sort it

Careful with the truth there, the old timers of this forum are waiting to attack you for it

I defended kovacic to start over havertz some games ago but he’s been a passenger in all his recent games. I’d take him off ASAP.

I would look to get Gimour on ASAP. Try and control that midfield and hold on to possession.

Poor Dave is getting roasted too.

title challenge? We're not even challenging for a UCL spot at the moment

Yeah, I was referring to all those early predictions of us being title challengers... even before today, I would have said we might still be in it... but not anymore.

Been that way for an age. 

None of the various combinations work, Kante is a shadow of what he used to be and the others just are not very good. We have a team of individuals that have not been shown how to combine as a team. 

 

I think this is it for frank. He’s getting no reaction from the players here.

You don't even believe what you're saying there. 

And you wonder why i slate Zouma, 11 of his first 12 passes were sideways or backwards the other was to a city player, he is a dogsh*t  football player......and gets bounced by a tiny Foden, ffs.

Gilmour should've started imo, Kovacic has been bang average this season, Mount is getting far too many passes also, he's been a passenger for weeks now. 

Kovacic And Zouma Are Passengers Atm
