See not sure how Haaland can be "not involved" when he's in the keepers eyeline...

Bollocks right on the stroke of half time.

We've been awful for the majority and struggling to do even the basics.

He was offside, but VAR didn't check :dun:

A 1-0 thrashing. Apart from Gnonto we've offered no threat and despite trying to park the bus City should have had a few. That half seemed to last a lifetime.

Yes, but undone by some good play. Have we even had a shot on target?

The passing is mostly lack of understanding, especially when we're in their half... As I've said before the congested midfield ain't helping as we can't play into space ... Lets see if JM can change things or tbh I don't see us making a single chance

Parked the bus but still couldn't hold on.

Gnonto the only threat going forward.

Midfield unable to pass the ball effectively meaning we have to hoof to nobody and it comes straight back.

Also wtf have we done to the pitch?

Gnonto is the only player we have with composure when he gets on the ball. Forshaw has moments but there are far too many frantic passes, overhit, mistimed or misplaced -take your pick.

And it all started from Rodrigo doing a stupid flick when we were in a good position. Why can't they just keep the ball? I thought we've defended better, but it's a poor goal to concede as Mes has pushed it straight back into play. Midfield has been dire, but can't see what we can do to change it up.

Marsch doesn't want them to, he demands they always pass forward.

It's suicide
