Almiron and Willock stay on ... oh my God.

This is going to be such a frustrating season man. The pair of them make me sick at this point.

Can we please take of Willock for Longstaff I'm really sick of him now. The guy just doesn't do anything. Longstaff at least has a decent shot on him, and can play someone in.

Almiron also has to go off for Murphy who can at least get through on goal sometimes and mishit it onto the post for someone else to tap it in.

So absolutely fed up and tired of both Willock and Almiron. They're going to end up costing us three points today. So utterly hopeless.

I wish I didn't dislike Almiron so much, but I do. 

He is infuriating on that right hand side.

I wish we'd play him in the position Willock is in, as he'd do a much better job there.

Also need a replacement for Willock. I know Shelvey is back soon so that will help.

I'm trying not to mention Willock today because it gets under people's skin, but I'm pretty much done with him, so yeah.

Murphy for Almiron and Longstaff for Willock and we'll put this game away.

A reminder of just how crucial ASM is to our team.....

We need another left winger good enough to start in January. Can't afford these injury layoffs, it's ridiculous.

Once DeBruyne comes around on that overlap you are toast.

Can't wait to see this Man City team start playing more of the better teams. They look really dodgy at times.

That Charity Shield match against Liverpool might be more of what we see when they face some better teams.

Wolves with 10 men should not be getting at them like this. This is crazy.

Raul Neto man. Not for me. Hate his decision making.

I don't think Man City are worried about the state of their backline when they will just keep scoring for fun

I'm not even sure it's their backline per se.

I just think their press looks a lot less effective at the front, and so the midfield and backline is a lot more exposed.

I think the likes of Sterling and Jesus were far more dynamic pressers and they really miss some of that.

Man, I asked a reasonable question. There’s been one reasonable response. 

Okay, I'll give it a go.

Devils advocate time. I don’t agree with this, but over £200 million spent over two windows,  one win in 6 games. Pochetino unemployed. How long til the owners start to get a twitchy trigger finger?

Over £200 million spent on a team that was not fit for purpose and so the money has only just about brought us back up to having a somewhat respectable squad, while still being short in areas. We were on our way to being relegated last season.

You say 1 win in 6 games. Alternatively I say 1 loss in 6 games. 2 results of which were extremely dodgy. Liverpool game should have been a draw and the Palace game a win. We really should have an additional 4 points and should still be without a loss. All this whilst missing Shelvey, Bruno, ASM and Wilson to varying degrees this season already. All some of our best players.

Performances have been consistently really good, and we've largely been undone by a lack of cutting edge, which has been largely down to the key players that have been injured.

In actuality, I would argue that Howe has continued to work wonders so far this season. Even when not at our strongest we continue to play well and pick up points still, drawing games.

Despite whatever the fans think, the owners have already said this will be a slow build, and although I am sure Howe will be wanting to push for Europe, I doubt the owners have any such demands on him already, especially as the team is still lacking in key areas of the first team, as we weren't able to get the wideman and central midfielder we were after over the summer.

There is absolutely no chance they will be even thinking of changing the manager at all.

Even with ten men Wolves are playing the ball through them really well.

The same Ruben Neves who whined to the media that Schar wasn't sent off is now in the ref's face over Collins tackle which is far worse.

The guy is a clown

What? That the place is crawling with fannies who can’t tell the difference between speculation and opinion? 

Are you just needing attention or something? This is all pretty strange man.

I would fine him and drop him for a month at least.

What on Earth is the point of that challenge there?

Completely thrown his team under the bus after they were struggling enough as it was.

Something is wrong with that kid.

Considerably more than there was in the knee jerk responses. I asked a speculative question which I qualified by saying that I didn’t think it would be a good idea. The responses were the thoughtless ones. Like I said, we know nowt about how they will respond and how tolerant they will be of perceived lack of success. It was a reasonable speculative question met with unreasonable responses 

The multiple similar responses should tell you all you need to know man.

This game is way more open then i thought it would be.

Yeah, Wolves are comfortable playing through their press.

But they can't finish and they can't defend, and so may well end up getting pummelled anyway.

Neto is so irritating man. Looking for the easy way out there.

Just now, Caleb70 said:

I agree........but, Haaland...scores again

The state of Kilman just then man, my God!

With defending like that they have no chance. 

They look like they'll cause issues going forward though, but man that defence will get them killed today at this rate.

Raul Neto has a lot of fans on here, but I'm not sure about him.

Plays with his head down too much and can be so careless with the ball.

Could see Wolves getting something from this game.

Man City's midfield and defence when they don't have the ball look dodgy this season.

Wilco chief. Let’s all stop thinking. 

There wasn't much thought to that post to be fair.

Do you need me to explain ‘devil’s advocate’ to you? Did you miss the bit where I said ‘I don’t agree with this’?

I didn’t say I think it would be a good idea. 
fuck my hat. 

The fact that is even in your mind in any way shape or form is disturbing. Horrendous stuff.

As soon as I saw the space DeBruyne was in on that overlap I knew it was a goal.

It's absolutely sickening man. Words fail me.
