Man City (A) - 1 April 2023

[dmishra]

The fact that 7 years later we're bringing on the players who played against city the first time round shows how we've stagnated.

We're still contemplating giving Milner a 1 year extension. That should tell you everything about us

That I don't mind as long as he's pushed into the coaching setup.

 

[Fabio]

The huge benefit now is that we no longer have any more 12.30 kick offs this season. Means you get a few hours more before the weekends ruined from now on

You know Milner is going to be our RB and CM backup next season.

 

[Tinto]

Ok, top 3 today?

Jota
Konate
Trent

Not very convincing from any of those but I don't think I can applaud anyone else.

Gakpo instead of Konate. Don't think either of our centre halves were good today

 

[Raz]

The sad thing is that we all know a 2 goal cushion doesn't mean shit with this team. City still would've won.

Comfortably

 

[Raz]

Curious who is Klopp’s top 3/4.

He's lost some players. Fact.

 

[Raz]

We were not there anymore; we were completely open, we were too passive, too deep, too far away from everything. If you look at the game, I think we had around about four performances which were OK: the two midfielders with Hendo and Fab worked a lot, tried to close gaps, Cody especially in possession and Ali, of course, and then that's obviously very difficult

Did he actually say that? We were completely open????? Is 'he' taking the piss?! Fucking lol

Triffic

Ox was an absolute fucking joke for their 4th. 5 mins on the pitch and he makes no attempt whatsoever to help out Trent when he’s faced up 2 on 1. He literally jogged from the half way line whilst Fabinho was busting a gut to get there.

Pathetic and unforgivable given he picks up 100k + a week to be an in house comedian.

I don’t want to see him in a red shirt ever again, the lazy cunt.

He is done as a footballer at the highest level. We are the dickheads for still keeping him as an option. He should have been let go for free to any club who was willing to subsidize his wages, couple of years ago.

 

[Irishanfield]

Lots of them dropped their heads at 2-1.

Useless.

More at 1-1

 

[tomasjj]

it is one of several poor squad management decisions the last few years

 

[Red Bird]

Yikes. If those are the players he thought did well, I don't know what to say.

It would explain his selections, though. He sees things we don’t.

Alongside a few others. But we just had to hold on, hadn’t we?

Men against boys like a stroll in the park.
One transfer window can't solve the issues we have we need almost a complete new team which would need 3 to four windows and patience from the fans.

 

[Woland]

Jones scored a boss goal for England U21s during the break. He must have really pissed Klopp off to never even be on the bench, when the only other midfield options are as old as dracula or had more surgery than frankenstein

The point where we won the Champions League what's the time when I thought we would kick on and invest in that midfield and make it even stronger instead we stayed stagnant and look at now where we are.

Injured, I think. Again.

 

[binomial]

The team is just shit.

Fab Hendo Harvey....I mean come on now. The midfield we had out last week in the legends game wouldv'e contributed more.

Had about enough of Trent as well and I've had enough of those who suck his dick how "creative" he is.....well what did he create today? Or against Bournemouth? He's shit, sign a proper RB.

Virgil - you're no longer the player you were, you can't look like you're not giving a fuck and be world class at the same time.....now it's pretty evident to me you don't give a fuck.

Trent created our goal and was probably our best defender out of a bad lot. He's deserved much of the criticism leveled this season but not today.

In acres of space he had to deal with 2 on 1 for the 4th.

Jota created it with his run and lay off but yes Trent played a nice pass in the build up.

Anything else he did well today?

Some of his clearances under pressure are laughably bad.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Some of the replies are gold:

He was better than Virgil or Robbo, although I recognize that isn't a high barrier to scale this weekend.

That's brilliant lol.

Twitter fans actually have a sense of humour!

 

[Markeh]

We should probably let them hack our scouting database now and even things up properly.

…so just hand them a piece of paper with Jude Bellinghams name on it then

 

[binomial]

I don't care if he was our best player today by a landslide, he was still shit.

This team is done.

Only 5 players from this whole squad are worthy of keeping their place next season.

Ali, Ibou, Diaz, Nunez and Kostas.

Time to promote Kostas to first choice, get some other dud to cover him, get 30-40m for Robbo if we can and put that money to good use.

We Have to stop trying to do transfers on the cheap.

Need to start buying quality. Spend the money on Bellingham. Then look for another quailty Midfielder. Even if we only buy two in the summer window, as long as they are quailty

We need more than 2.

Effectively if we buy 2, we're still relying on hendo, fabinho, elliott or thiago to be the 3rd mid. Add in the fact that we need a new CB.

Thuram, Tielemens, Veiga, N'Dicka. Thats probably as good as we could get. We won't spend that much if we spend 130m on jude alone
