People saying we have been decent. Burying heads in sand stuff :lol: 

 

City are great, aye, but we have been poor. 

 

I think we've looked a lot better with this shape tbh, but you can't legislate for two such soft goals. We had opportunities, just couldn't find the final pass, then we put the ball in the net for them....twice.

Is it fuck?

 

Just as one example, Haaland had the 1v1 where Botman lost him completely from Kovacic's chip, any meaningful contact on the ball and he scores. A couple of headers where they should have done better. Foden blazed one wide where he should have hit the target, albeit good tracking by Bruno. Our defending has been pretty all over the place.

Then we pull of the shock of the century and comeback to win and get liverpool.

To be fair, the last couple of months you absolutely can guarantee soft goals given away from us.

There's four purples and a revitalised Schar in an otherwise Ashley team against the best team in the world.

Not seen anything remotely surprising.

Ye you can call it unlucky with the deflections, but both times the city players walked into our box unpressured. Could just as easily have gone straight in with a better finish from them. Dont know why Burn is being left alone vs 2 of them.

What the fuck is up with pep, looked like he was crying.

 

Just seems like Pep, never happy even with perfection, always wanting better.

Longstaff has come out second half, should have 11 on the pitch this half now

 

Was he out there in the first?

Its more so the way Howe approaches games, and abundance of loyalty to out of form players. And of course that god forsaken midfield pocket that has been open since he took over. We are letting in soft goals left right and center, fair enough some freak injuries has been ruining the season, but he is so fucking stubborn to change, its like we have plan A and that's it. If plan A fails, then the whole damn house of cards blow over. And the "we played really well" after Chelsea match was like an insult.

 

Who are these amazing alternative options he is not making use of that are going to turn things around?

 

Also, why speak as though the man is some sort of dullard, when his methods already have us at least a few years further on than most expected?
