andycap Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We've had the defense midfield gaps all season I think teams know we don't play with a defensive midfield and can be got at constantly just by waiting for us to lose the ball and one pass they're onto our back four. Howe needs to make tweaks to that three in the middle to counteract that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know both our goals were absolute worldies but so were all of there's to undo us. Really can't wait until we have subs again. Basically this. Aye. Two week break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a criticism at all, this would be the point Wilson and Barnes tag in. Only they’re rarely available as a tandem. Injuries costing us the points, not Isak. Never said he just us the points.

Ginola14 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Bruno lucky not to get a red in first half - seems like he's getting away with it a lot and there'll be another suspension coming up last thing the squad needs meanwhile City have Phillips sat on the bench for the whole game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We were close, but it just shows how far we have come. On paper we should have been wiped away, we nearly won the game, and came closer to drawing. Our team is ravaged by injury, we’ll get there, FFP will slow us down, but we’ll get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have helped us a lot more by drifting to the side the ball was on when we had it under pressure and would clear it down the line, to at least have a chance of getting the ball. He was a passenger big time the last 25 mins odd. Which is where the subs come in, we just don't have any obviously, we certainly need a third striker when we can, as Wilson is just too injury prone to rely on.

If you look at the players out missing, they would give the team we had out today a good game. It has to affect us pyschologically as much as physically. The players just can't carry it for 90 mins against this sort of quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 To be brutally honest, we deserved fuck all from that game. You cannot play like we did second half and expect to get anything from games, especially against City. I understand we have injuries and couldn't change anything mind. But we were pretty shite tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Ultimately, if we approach the rest of the season the way we did today we are going to go on a heck of a run. Genuinely think it's coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never works man. It was blatantly fucking obvious what the end result was going to be. Fuck off I’m not saying we couldn’t have done anything, but why (especially after defeats) does everyone act like we were the only ones participating in the game? Like it’s possible the club managed by arguably the best in the world made some tweaks that made it harder for us to get possession and play quick counters. And then also had the ability to bring one of the world’s best for 25 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 We were beaten by the better squad on the night, but another great effort by the lads we can have no complaints. De Bruyne showing the difference in class between himself and Foden. We need a number 6 midfielder who can hold that that space between the flat midfield and the back four.

Wandy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 No shame in losing that. They are the best team in the world and had to bring on arguably the best player in the world to get them over the line. Onwards. We can still finish 6th this season but anything higher than that isnt happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 7 minutes ago, GavMcEl said: Disappointing, thought we gave a good fight, and some decent individual performances, was great to see Trippier have a good performance don't blame him for the 3rd goal..... once De Bruyne came on, it was pretty obvious he was gonna change the game and once they equalised I think it was inevitable that they were gonna get the winner.... Trippier totally inept marking for the third goal. Just tell it how it is and don't protect him so much. The bloke would admit it was his fault so don't talk crap.
