Yep. It feels like shooting Bambi’s mam being criticism at this point. He’s so badly out of his depth it’s more depressing than anger-making for me.

There’s absolutely something in this for us here. Fucking Ho’way united

It’s not unreasonable to expect the third most expensive player in your history not to look like one of the thickest players you’ve ever seen

Shame as we’re still in this and playing well. Decision-making has been lacking going forward

We don’t even have the ‘panic buy’ excuse. Tracked the poor fucker for ages.

I wouldn’t be either. It’s fucking terrible play

Fucking hell lad you have to play Gordon there

Backing the players doesn’t happen on anonymous internet forums. The players can’t hear it.

It least that would mean that Fido wouldn’t have to spend tonight being shagged by the cunt

It is, though I think that just means it has found the same level as his decision-making

I always found it odd that Man City has ‘Blue Moon’ as their song yet when they chant it (they don’t sing it) they don’t seem to have ever heard the tune before

Woltemade off. Man City will need to find someone new to kick up a-height.

The back line is all over the shop

It’s shocking the treatment Woltemade is getting

The quality of officials is really poor, even with all the technology to support them

I for one am glad that the broadcasters can show pointless close-ups of the dugout, the supporters and slo-mos of nothing challenges but a penalty shout isn’t worthy of any time

I don’t want to jinx it but we’re playing really well here

Handball surely

I wouldn’t be unhappy to see Woltemade do likewise

You’re watching a different game to me

Apart from the bit where Kane scored goals in both countries. At the same age Kane was having a 30-goal PL season.

Thiaw is hugely at fault for both - it’s poor positional play. He doesn’t even bother to look on the second.

Played ok here, would be nice if Thiaw wasn’t having one of those games where he’s drawn to the ball like a magnet

He’s obviously a good league coach - I wrote that to make it clear I wasn’t looking to write off his league coaching. But I think good cup coaches require a slightly different skill set. Howe has both.

FFS I literally stated that it’s not tha I don’t rate him as a league coach - and you edited that out in your response
