Passive is the right word 

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

at least were still in it. come on chelsea.

Our first half performance set the tone for this game which we carried over for the start of the 2nd; wrong game plan from the outset, never put one City player under pressure for 60 minutes which is surprising given TT has won the the last 3 meetings. When we did have the ball we were slow in possession and were continually shut down. Our defence at times today has looked shaky, (thank God for Mendy) especially Alonso who is not suited for this type of game.   Even if we end up salvaging  a point today I hope TT has learned his lesson that you don't let good opponents have the ball as they will steam roll over you eventually.

Hvaertz has some great emergency exit balls

Mendy !!!

We have to want it more. Any day, any game, any week. We have to want it and be on the front foot more. 

Mendy is absolutely brilliant!

We are exposed if we do not focus uncompact citeh  lines

Ruben playing well

Michael Oliver has been awful 

Worse game I’ve seen Azpi have for a long time

I don't think we have been in this game for more than about 5 mins...City totally dominant because we have allowed them to be so. 

RLC has to be playing his way into more minutes. He looks so good since coming on.

Fixed it..

Lotus-Cheek has looked good since he came on.

Next league game, I want to see us start with some tackles. Send a message. Start with more passion and intent. 

The ref 100% got bullied at school for wearing an Oasis shirt by a load of Blur fans

If Jorginho is the best player in Europe it must mean that DeBruyne is the best player in the world.

It's been bad but not terrible. We just gave city far too much respect. Wrong approach. 

Very true. Way too much respect to City and it has cost us.

We have no motivation nor resistance

Started the game too negative. Should have been playing this way from the first minute instead we allowed city to play their game.

This is one is done .. not a single half chance extremely poor performance.

Villa 1-0

The only positive has been Ruben’s performance
