I'd much rather them be beaten in the final than here, but it was horrific to watch, Wednesday should have buried them in the first half alone with the space they were getting.

Wood was a plaster for an urgent situation, he's repayed his price in helping keep us up, but we should be looking to sell him on to someone coming up at a loss.

We just need an upgrade on him and not to have to rely on him, not sure if he'd want to be second fiddle but as a 2nd choice I would absolutely keep him, quality striker when fit, but that's a big WHEN unfortunately.

The gulf in class between 3rd and 4th and City and Liverpool is palpable, City have and will beat much better teams than us by a healthy margin. Top 5 might be a push but looking at the quality in the top 10 we could be there abouts with the right purchases in the summer and some luck with injuries.

The only reason it will happen is for the home grown numbers.

Properly not worth pawing over that, not really the benchmark to rate a season, they've spent more on 1 player than we have on 80% of the squad. Only conclusion that needs to be made is that we're an absolute mile away from top 4.

Sickening

Got to say harsh for us to concede the 4th there when we've looked half decent since the subs.

He's had some howlers he's been rightly criticised for, only fair he gets praise for that, great tackle.

Trippier's crossing on the right is different gravy to anything we have in the squad

Clear body check by de bruyne and the commentators are blaming ASM for jumping into him and rolling too much

We always seem to drop keggs, vasiline up and grab ankles for these, can't wait until we can make a game of this fixture.

It's like a library in there bar our supporters you can hear clear as day, such a plastic club these days.

If Wilson is fit enough he needs to come on, he's our best, probably only change of doing some damage.

Say what you want about our tracking but Man City movement is another level, De Bruyne just seems to carve space from nothing, so good at losing his man. Criminal Wood missed that gift wrapped chance or at least didn't leave it for Big Jow, you don't get many chances against teams like these, you absolutely have to take them.

Not sure what anyone was expecting playing away at a team half the table above us, in first place when we know we've got a lot of changes need to be made in personnel. Frustrating watching your team lose but we are on different planet's player/skill wise. We aren't good enough at this level yet but we'll get there.

The verbal fellatio of everything Man City does is nauseating

Def a free kick, the fact they didn't even replay it speaks volumes

Ugh I wish they'd just flush, can't stand them.

If you're to believe the conspiracies it's because recreational drugs once out the system, remain in the hair and so footballers bleach it to destroy the remaining evidence. Or maybe they just like blonde hair?

I knew as soon as I pressed send some smart prick would come up with this, turns out there's two of you

Wednesday getting closer

Wednesdays number 10 Bannon has been an absolute spectator, he doesn't close anyone down or Mark up, he just keeps standing in space, chasing the ball down and stopping and standing in the middle of nowhere, no idea why he's still on. Sunderland and walking through them and they're shocking

Tale of two managers, Pep lost it, again.

Let's hope they're still demoralised and jaded from tonight, if they come out fighting they'll destroy us.
