Almiron clearly not fit!

Tactically outdone. Blatantly obvious from about 3 seconds in

What an awful start

Completely ruins those amazing moments in the game. Still can't understand why there aren't more campaigns to get rid e.g from supporter trusts.

Spot on Paully, that city moment absolutely nails why VAR has to go. It never will though sadly.

But why is it staying? Whats in it for them keeping it? Genuinely don't get why PL don't just sack it off for their "product"

With the clubs being asked opinions, is there any scope for them saying don't use it at all? Or are the EPL under a mandatory obligation from FIFA to implement it? I have always found it confusing that the managers hate it so much, yet getting rid doesn't appear to be part of the conversation.

Us away at Brighton in 2 weeks time is looking like a huge game now

If i was chairman i'd sack him on the spot for that selection.

How in the name of god does Hendrick get picked in that set up

Squad fitness and conditioning has been such an obvious issue under Bruce. Was it december where we had 3 or 4 injuries in a game? Bruce and his media pals say oh bad luck, yet here we are with more evidence that it is his dinosaur approach to blame. I absolutely hate him and anyone who was naive enough to not see this all coming.

Be interesting to see what Bruce's mates come out with in the media. Matt Ritchie the leader of an underground human trafficking ring? Anything to avoid saying the blindingly obvious that Bruce needs to be sacked and should never have been appointed.

I fully accept the role that confidence and steve bruce play, but jesus christ he is painful to watch at the minute. So much backwards passing.

Shoretire was at Man City academy before Man Utd, but lets not let that get in the way of this idiot pundit narrative.

Needs about a year of gym work with The Rock. Rarely seen such a physically weak defender.

Hope his ban gets overturned. And turned into a complete global suspension from all football related activities.

He'd be absolutely fine if he wasn't terrified every time he gets the ball. So many times his first touch is turning backwards. Infuriating along with his hesitancy on throws. Him, shelvey, hendrick biggest factors in the lack of tempo

Find it strange how put out and horrible he is being to journos, when he has seemingly built a career on not being crucified by them because it's "nice guy Steve". Perhaps he is trying out a new plot twist for the follow up to his striker, sweeper, defender books... 'False 10'.

The PL's stance on celebrations looks even more pathetic and undermined if that Rodrigo behaviour is allowed to pass without investigation.

Can schar not just dust himself doon?

That answer about jones says he aint happy about it all

I really hope the rafa news drives him completely over the edge and into madness. Still love how wound up he gets by fans who a) aren't there and b) he could if he wished be completely ignoring.

Yeah not gonna lie, my entire fpl season basically rests on triple captain salah breaking the record for goals in a single game when he plays burnley. He hasn't scored since gw14 so fairly sure my gamble and season is going up in smoke. Guess that's karma for mocking Yorkie's team.

Looks more like 433

Almiron and Joelinton false 10s surely
