Match thread v Manchester City

Gonna need a strong second half of season and grab top 4 and reevaluate in summer. Squad is in transition now to be fair. Might require a bit more surgery too to become the next proper side we have. It’s a mishmash at the moment.

Well what a waste of a Sunday afternoon, Slot get pesters again when senior lads were shocking 1st half.
At least we played a little bit of football with the subs second half & created some chances.

A galling result....We aint winning anything this season.....Got major doubts we'll even finish in the top 6.....

The way things are going, binning off the LC is going to look even more questionable that it already was.

[Gurthers]

I still say Slot won't last the season. Can't get a tune out of them for most matches.

Absolutely pathetic today. Hundreds of millions spent on attacking players and we struggle to score in most games.

Watch that game and aka yourself which team had the extra days rest….

Seems so, but it'll be under a different manager.

[RedMagic]

Other than looking a mess, is there anything that we aren't struggling with?

Slot needs to earn his money fast. Sorry. It's over the top reaction after 3 losses, but this is what 5 out of 6 in the PL with no sign of any reorganisation or progress?New players either don't fit the PL, are injury prone or simply aren't good enough. A total waste of probably the next three years transfer kitty. He's had his chances to make the team work. If there is no improvement by Christmas, he'll be gone.

We weakened ourselves in the summer. Massively

Yep. To the tune of 250m.
Imagine any manager going to the owners and daring to say he needs to improve the squad. He'll get fucking laughed out of the office no matter who it is.
Big problems with that squad. Allover the place in terms of its function, it's bone idle lazy and has about as much pace as a fucking tortoise.
Happy days.

I think he needs to make the big call and drop Mo for a couple of games.

When cutting-edge is absent, we can't be carrying Pianists who aren't playing in tune.

That's not to say that this is all on Salah as that is absolutely not the case, but we need to start seeing work ethic from all of our forwards to set the tone.
