    Mistakes cost us again. Alisson tried a quick break but slipped as he was kicking it. City won the ball at the half way line and it came straight back at us and they scored from it as a few of our lads were sleeping

    He also gave the pen away.

    I’m just curious why Slot would rather play Slobo at full back rather than Robbo. I know Robbo is in decline but I still think he can do a job on either side.

    Your view of what happened is at complete odds with Virgil's. Think I'll take his word for it and what I saw with my own eyes.

    If he was let down by anyone it was the club with the squad they left him. Totally imbalanced and missing crucial reenforcements.

    Its not all on slot, just like it's not all on the players. Blame should go around for all departments.
    Yes, he has responsibility.

    From what ive seen this season our 4 biggest issues are those 4 players.

    2 seniors who signed up at the end of their last contracts and dropped off.
    2 real linked players, one a free agent this summer the others form dropped off a cliff once he & his dad spoke about real.

    What can Slot do when its 4 key players looking like they're trying to get him sacked.

    As a new manager coming in, CC Alonso...

    Konates probably off. I'd sell Mo & MacA. Keep VVD who'd be spoken to about this season.
    This year, were like France failing in the SA WC groupstages. Bad eggs.

    The players are trying to get him sacked? So your saying the players are actively trying to get him sacked.

    Konate has always had a brain fart in him. Everyone knew he was in his last year, yet the club didn't sign a cb for him? What could slot do? Not play him if he felt that Konate was trying to get him sacked.

    Macca? Don't play him if you think he is trying to get you sacked.

    Players form dips, but to suggest after last season winning the league they are trying to get him sacked is a bit of a reach in my opinion.

    Maybe it's the tactics that are making them look bad?

    We created plenty of chances today. More than enough to win the game with a bit of clinical finishing. So the players are clearly not trying to get the manager the sack. A couple are in terrible form and likely permanent decline but that's a different issue.

    Man City created enough chances to have gone in 2 or even 3 up at HT.. When was our forst shot on goal.. 54 minutes? At home?

    OR do we forget that part? City played mid week, we had a week to train and rest and yet they finished the stronger.

    Stop blaming the players this has been brought on by the manager and his mentality and approach to the game, there were signs last season and I moaned when it looked like going too much that way

    But he’s lost the mentality that number of games with short nothing passes walking pace not playing the right ball to release players when they’re on absolutely wrecked a lot of elements

    He has, and only just recently put some work in the press and counter press, which all the very top sides do better than the low block pressing teams do and mostly counter press while dominating possession, by virtue of not picking up but he started the dropping the line and taking a backward step and inviting pressure

    Looking to settle for a draw instead of going g for the win

    Slots management has led to this it is all on him

    Agreed. Age is a catching up with a few, some are off form, some are not good enough. Squad isn't good enough and injuries don't allow for enough rotation.

    It's not though. It's a collective issue.
