Given how pragmatic/structured Tuchel’s set-ups are I can’t see him shoehorning players in like Southgate did at times - especially in the last tournament. I guess there’ll be a few big player casualties in the process too.

This guy is nowhere near as bad as some media outlets were making out.

Gordon has been shite mind

I’m not sure if this angle has been posted yet but this is never a penalty and it’s been surprising how many pundits have been talking about how poor a decision it was not to give it.

Broken toe I think

Just seen the Bruno red. Clear slip for me. If that was one of our players I’d be livid.

Also on the Gordon penalty, and I could be wrong about this, but those scenarios don’t seem that common anymore. 1v1’s then the keeper wiping out the striker for a pen used to be every week 10+ years ago. They don’t seem as common as they used to be and it’s probably due to how the game has changed. Dyer used to get two 3 1v1s a match and miss most of them

“Isn’t a left back” 😂😂😂😂😂

I need this City comeback to witness Arsenal twitter and Arteta having a public breakdown.

I think the most worrying thing is that no one is really surprised given the performances. The fact we can put out that sort of lineup and look so disjointed or without purpose is a massive worry. Especially given how easy our start has been on paper.

Not too convinced we’ll turn this one around

Would have persisted with Hall but you can see why he’s gone for Kelly v Traore. I think we’ll smash these today.

Standard weekend away win coming.

I thought the same second half of last season when we had no centre midfielders but I’m guessing he’s fallen off really badly since all of his injuries.

Comeback is on

Can’t believe than pen wasn’t given against Wolves

I still reckon we’ll get this done in the second half after the subs.

Annoyingly he’s one of those players who’s definitely shit that sometimes seems to have a decent game every now and again.

At the risk being on the wrong end of the pitch forks I sort of get Longstaff over Tonali. Hasn’t played in a year then placed twice for Italy in the break. If he started and got injured that would be the obvious criticism. Murphy over Barnes though…

I’m really surprised Barnes isn’t starting given his contributions lately. I think we can get a good win here though 0-3 Isak hat trick

Had a feeling after the transfer didn’t happen everyone would be saying he was shite at every opportunity

Aye surely he can’t be as shite as people are making out?

Sissoko in one of the home cup games against a lower league team under McClaren was one of the worst I’ve seen. Couldn’t even be bothered in the slightest. I forget which team it was but regretted being there. Numerous Jack Colback games. Hendrick away to Palace was another that sticks out.

Same. Borderline emotional watching that a year or so ago

Was just interested I guess now it’s post-game and we’ve won etc. At risk of sounding like an old bloke but if you’re giving pens for that much contact on a slide tackle… the games gone, you’ll be giving a pen every week etc etc. Feel like Isak played for the pen and didn’t get the contact he wanted.
