The BBC lineup person regularly puts Rodri on the wing and other mad shit for City’s lineups. I think it’s supposed to be an ongoing joke .

Nah, come on. There are oceans between Howe and Pardew that mean that won’t happen.

well you should be. Pope has been coming off his line like that all season and it’s a huge part of how we play and why we’re able to play such a high line with slow defenders. It’s typical the first error he’s made with it resulted in a red and missing our first cup final for decades. There will most likely be huge gaps behind our defence for Rashford now.

Yeah definitely. They were both at fault. I reckon Howe is fuming with Trippier.

Rewatching that first goal. It’s Schar’s fault as much as Trippier’s. Rafa is right that his body position was bad and he was so slow to react. You have to be watching for Nunez in behind.

I was too busy crying to be angry . When they showed his wife and kids, man. Poor sods.

unpopular opinion but I didn’t mind it at all. I took it as their way of showing solidarity.

what is wrong with Burn’s head. How’s he headed it behind from there, wtf

Gordon really not doing anything to ease my doubts about him

Now that he doesn’t play I find Matt Ritchie very likeable

Injuries inevitable when you play like we do and decide to go into the second half of the season with 4 midfielders.

Yeah. He’s a kid with no experience at all.

He has made one senior league appearance in his career

Not sure why Isak looks so knackered. Did last game too.

would probably put Gordon in for Almiron here

We should score so many goals from corners, man. Every game we miss easy ones.

Chill out! We aren’t getting anything from it now so no point in getting frustrated.

ASM has been unreal

Having no DM is very bad.

Dubs Gotten so used to Pope coming for those.

nah, look at how we’re playing since the red. We have good mentality.

cheer up lad

big hole where our 6 normally is on transitions. A disaster against Liverpool.

I'd prefer us to keep the same system the players are used to rather than change formation just to accommodate one change in personnel, so I like the line-up tbh. Once again though it's daft that we've got no midfielders
