I mean, there’s not too much defence could do. Maybe I’m being soft

Fofana and Colwill giving their guys 3 yards of space… good lord

It got nothing to do with cb. We are wayy too open everywhere

There it is, he’s not even celebrating 

Why would he? Not an achievement scoring against us, is expected.

Doku switched to the left and had immediate impact.

20 mins in and we’ve not mustered any type of pressure or shot. Meak.

Too much space, too easy. How have we created such a poor defence with all of this money spent?

To be fair we are consistent with that all over the park. Not one area where we look anything special.

Season starts next week.....

Fernandez having a stinker so far 

Wheres this great passing game

Bar one good pass Enzo is a passenger here. Just watching the game going on around him.

He is a big problem! 

Ok this is ridiculous.

Vastly overrated on here. Should get rid when his value is still decent 

Midfield was starting to show signs of becoming more balanced towards the end of last season, now it's looking awful again.

We are way too open, just as we were all last season until the last 5-7 games

And he’s got the arm band absolutely mental.

I don’t see our players pressing, I thought that was a big part of Maresca’s tactics? Maybe I’m imagining things.

tough start. Not a lot to talk about yet. Too easy for City to access our box coming in from wide. Lots of space. 

City in control. We need a moment

I dont like him in this attacking role. Needs to have the play in front of him to be most effective, I reckon

If he doesn't improve, then people will rightly start having to ask if he has the athleticism for this league.

I guess Maresca is proving he didn't watch a single game with Enzo in #10 last season ... if he had he sure as sh*t wouldn't be playing him there ... 

Palmer pretty isolated. Most of the passes are going to Nkunku.

There doesn't seem to be a "first press" if that's a thing,

Watched a bit of Brighton yesterday, for most of game their players were only taking two touches

cucurella has been great...
