Next time the opposition goes down a man we may as well go into a low block. We look so confused playing against 10 men. That game is going to haunt us for a very long time, you can see all the pundits bringing it up on a regular basis, it's like the new 4:3.

A real shining light today, was disappointed he got taken off and we looked much worse for it.

Just wow ?

In my humble opinion the system we play demands fast and agile fullbacks. Burn has neither of these qualities, he's a square peg in a round hole. I feel we have a genuine weakness on the left that was exposed more greatly when Gordon was substituted.

I hate that cunt, he's a god awful pundit as well so don't know how he gets any TV work.

And samey formation.

I don't understand why we seem incapable of playing simple passes and holding onto ball. We need to learn how to grind teams down. I thought our ball retention would have improved this season but we still give it away very cheaply. We need to know when to hold back on the direct balls, we seem to have one way of playing and teams are figuring us out.

When Gordon went off we also lost the defensive cover he provides, showed up Burn and his lack of pace even more. We invite teams to attack us on the left every game, we need to fix that problem quickly.

Howe really needs to study how to play against 10 men, we do this every time.

Wtf are we playing at, we've let them dictate play.

Ref literally giving them every decision now.

At first glance I didn't think it was a red, until I noticed he kicked clean through his leg to get the ball, so by scouse logic clearly a foul by Isak.

I don't think all teams can counter attack as well as West Ham do. They also have good defensive discipline.

Brighton back 2 being undone yet again.

Completely agree, it's always been a cesspit but has got even worse since musk took over. I literally only have it for transfer rumours but questioning that now.

Spain looking levels above at the moment, hopefully they struggle to maintain it in the second half.

All I know is if every team in the premier League played like city no fucker would watch it. To use your boxing analogy most people want to see a knock out.

Even the city fans seem to have no passion for the football they play. It's not entertaining to watch. They seemed to play a little more expansive last season but have completely reverted to type. I can't wait for the city era to be over.

I think Bruno will always be judged by the impeccably high standards he is capable of, he was below that today but so we're a lot of players.

Just city in general he's been rimming them all night.

It's mental after all this time he hasn't bothered to learn.

Certainly better than Burn.

Was there even any contact.

Tonali could play for city he's that good.

City players can be booked wow.
