The result is neither or here nor there compared to Almiron/ASM injuries. If they're out for weeks then we're down.

Semedo is terrible like. It’s a miracle he played for Barca.

Willock and Krafth need to do better vs Traore like. They’re just going 1v1 against him instead of doubling up and he’s taking the piss.

Ah shit, not Miggy. Probably the most important player in this formation.

Willock really should’ve scored.

£40m

Usually gives it a bit longer than this, like

Said we should’ve done that a few games ago, if he has to play. He can’t keep up with the game otherwise and Hayden is more mobile.

Unless you want to make yourself angry I have no idea why you’d want to listen to tv pundits talking bollocks about how good Bruce is, like.

It’s Adama AND Semedo vs Lewis an’ all Krafth up against Jonny and Neto too. We’ll be absolutely eaten in wide areas if Wolves decide they want to score.

Absolutely no way am I watching that, like .

Henrick is an absolute waster, man. Those stats are even worse when you consider we never have the ball an' all.

He's so bad, man. Commentary is atrocious atm.

Agree with all that, but he still plays that position better than Carroll/Gayle ever will. When he came off we lost our only target for goal kicks etc. and we suffered for it.

The centre mids should be providing the cover for the full backs in this formation, but Shelvey doesn’t do it and Willock is too busy trying to get forward to support Almiron and can’t do everything. We need more from Hayden tbh - normally really like him but haven’t been impressed by his efforts in the last two games.

Most players have made some positive contributions tonight but Shelvey has done fuck all. He’s absolutely shit.

Whether you think the change in style is good or not, there have definitely been some massively noticeable changes, which is hilarious because Bruce has spent 18 months telling us how “we’re trying to change” whilst managing to change fuck all .

It’s clear neither Joelinton or Gayle have a clue how to play the role Wilson was playing. There’s nobody in front of Almiron when he gets the ball. So annoying because Man U have been really, really shit.

Think Bruce has already said Gayle starts. He needs to be played through the middle then, not on the wing. He's not the best, but he can score goals if he's allowed to play as an out and out striker. He doesn’t score goals in the PL though. 26 in 127 appearances for someone who offers nothing if he’s not scoring is horrendous. Do you think there's a better chance of goals from one of the other two alternatives? None of them are going to score goals - especially as a wide forward. I’d play Gayle over Carroll, but Joelinton honestly has more to his game than Gayle and knows how to play the position better.

Maybe it’s because he’s not fit, but honestly feel as though City have been better without KdB this season.

I refuse to believe Gayle gets to start again after his last performance so it’s him out, surely?

Same. Obviously he’d be awesome in any team but be couldn’t be more perfect for City really. Desperate to see Messi play live before he retires too.

Gayle in 63 minutes 16 touches 8 passes attempted 6 passes completed 1 shot 0 tackles attempted 0 interceptions

This is a genuine 0/10 performance from Carroll.
