Really?

In terms of a lack of fight and no goal threat I think probably yes. Even in the doldrums of Div2 Chelsea sides had more about them.

As much as I appreciate Conor's mindless, almost Gerrard-esque passion (especially given the contrast with many of his current teammates), if he were actually any good I'm sure we would never have heard the end of it from @Liam about a bloke called Gallagher playing in an England shirt.

No doubt you'll be after Evan Ferguson now.

Didn't you claim it (the squad) was the third best in the league earlier in the season?

With all players fit we would look very different. We have almost a full team of injured players at the moment and that includes 2 of our best.

This EXACTLY! Honestly the team put out against City was SO inferior, do people think ANY manager in the world would outplay / outperform that Manchester City team with the players we had playing! 

We now have to play City away with our second string (and our first string is inferior to City's) I hope people realise this before jumping all over Potter!

I don’t blame potter for the City performance. I think that was more indicative of our squad strength and stupidity in the transfer market.

1. Spending big on players like Kepa ( a complete unknown) in a summer when Allison was available. 
Not giving conte what he wanted in lukaku only to buy him a few windows later 

2. Spending big on CC when there were cheaper options available with similar quality and not using that money to invest in a DM which the squad has been crying out for ages.

3. Spending on Auba - a player who wasn’t good enough for frckinh arsenal when they finished 5th

4. spending 80 mil on a raw player to replace probably one of the best CBs in the league last season

Potter has made strange decisions but with 10 players injured I don’t blame him for the city loss.
