Fernandez just wandering back for that city break then, he really doesn't give a sh*t.

James is not a midfielder. Hes a great player, just not mid for me. Ofcourse tough hand when Caicedo, Lavia and the yet to play Essugo are all absent.

But we could say that Badiashile isn't a defender and it's his fking position.

Team still stinks of Maresca

Whilst we’ve played ok, it doesn’t really feel like the team believes they can win it.

They haven't played okay though. They have been rubbish. They haven't embarrassed themselves, but all they have done is give the ball away. All City did to score is step up their intensity.

We're playing like a poor, just promoted team, just hoping to keep the score down.

No chance, the rule is 50 passes or more before we pass the half way line. We are dire.

Plus we don’t want to wear the players out by running or the medical team will be on them.

I can't see how we gain the initiative in this game. It's a damage limitation exercise so far.

Really missing cucu and caicedo

There is absolutely zero positives to come out of that half, by far the most insipid half of football by us I've seen for a long time.

Up there with the Sarri and Conte games.

Pedro cant hold the ball up, so it just keeps coming back. Damage limitation.

This performance is ok for a bottom half club let alone one that spent 2.5+ billion

We've been playing like a plucky non-league team who've drawn Man City away in the 3rd round of the FA Cup ...

When were we ever plucky? We're not f**king Belgium!

It was inevitable. We're not even in the game.

We are just passing the time of day…no real effort, certainly from most of them, especially Enzo and Pedro. Take them both off

That’s what a billion £ squad gets you

With an incompetent board

Edited January 4Jan 4 by El regreso

Not strong enough in the tackle, piss poor passing. And once again causing our own demise with suicidal passing in the wrong areas.

Many players just not even doing the basics of putting a shift in.

All they had to do was wait for Badiashile to get the ball and ready for wherever the clown then tries to put it.

What a poor goal .. fxk this guy is a disaster.. badiashile.. you clown .. gifted it away.. with him in the team it’s like playing a goal down.. sorry state .. f**k u win Stanley and clear lake..fck u boehly .. fck u egbhaly.. fck the board .. men against boys .. Josh is like a rabbit caught in headlights.. where is the LB after 2 seasons .. where is the striker after 3 seasons.. inept clowns who have taken over .. are running this to the ground..

I'll give you 150% for effort anyway !

I know you hate and critizise Enzo for a living (though many times rightly so), but i am just calling it for what i see on the pitch.

Don’t even see the point of watching is anymore. Best to hope out of this was a draw and a 0-0 one at best. Don’t see how the team can take control of the game.

It's not a squad. It's a project

Hard place to go with a crap midfield - Enzo and James ... ?

Reminds me of the game under Potter when we lost 4-0. May only be 1-0 at present but we look second rate. I understand we have a caretaker manager but too many players aren't even able to make a simple pass. Cole is stinking it up.

Badders is the WORST he’s a fecking joke
