Wandy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 A pretty pitiful way to end the game but the result is meaningless. If we had a quality striker then it could have been a different game. We will get at least 4 points from our final two games if Wilson starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expected a loss but the manner of the defeat matters to me and we barely laid a glove on them in all honesty. Totally agree. We barely give the top teams a game. Its way to easy and we almost never comes up with a shock result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Saw this damning stat. We haven’t won in the last 27 league games against the traditional top 6. 0 wins, 5 draws, 22 losses. Aggregate of 72-17. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally reflective of a culture the previous regime instilled throughout the club. There's no belief in the players that they can actually win these types of games.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 We just don’t have the athleticism and sharpness to close people down fast enough, and we don’t have ability to retain position and build attacks. Always will lead to potentially big defeats against anyone who keeps the ball and can create chances around the box. Hopefully will be less of the case next season, I really hope we try to transition away from counter-attacking to playing with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give them a partial pass on that as the vast majority of those games were under that gormless cunt. He was openly telling the world how much better the opposition were well in advance of each game. This was compounded by the fact he was too incompetent to actually come up with a plan to compete. That doesn't excuse it though. But he's a big reason for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That season we drew with Liverpool, stuffed Chelsea, beat Arsenal, beat Man Utd. Since then we've had 4 wins, Man City in 2018-19 and Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd in 2019-20.

Still not sure how we didn't beat Man Utd at home this season. But yeah hopefully we can be more competitive when we get better players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Watched today , these are top notch and we were chasing shadows at times. 5-0 was harsh but expected. Couldn't give a shite as its highlighted the need to ditch a few now . Fans were great but I wish we'd stop taking the piss about the CL , we are in no state to do that mind .

The Etihad is woeful but Maine Road was always full. When they were shit. Bizarre when we got 52000 every week in the championship under Ashley when we were sh1t just a few years ago. They're probably referring to the very relevant few years during a boycott in the early 90s late 80s. Whilst ignoring the fact Maine Road was full once in a blue moon then and into the PL era.

Andy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 1 hour ago, TheInfiniteOdyssey said: Conceding two goals in a matter of minutes in added-on time is the sorest point for me. Speaks to a lack of character in the team. I'd usually agree, but it's difficult to accuse the team of a lack of character given the four months we've had, and where we were before that.

samptime29 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 We actually passed it fairly well before we conceded the 1st goal. I'm sure it flashed up we had 57% possession at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Well, just finished watching the game, I recorded it as I was out this morning. They got humped as expected. Everton refuses to fuck off and City blasted us. Good to see Trippier and Wilson out there at least. It was always an impossible task so I won't lose any sleep.

huss9 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 its a good job we've lost a couple of games since getting to 43 points. just makes it clear to those upstairs. we need a real clear out. had we fluked a top half finish they may have thought we're not that bad and just need 2 or 3 additions. clear wake up call.

Hopefully these owners were full on anyway (I think they are), but a little reminder about the distinct lack of quality, I agree, is probably not a bad thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
