Poor from Meslier
I'd suggest you watch the highlights later.

Think that 4-0 really flatters them. We should of at least had 2. Really in the s**t now

Oh well, class told in the end and they were just too good for us.

Never stopped trying though and plenty of nearly moments - for both teams to be fair.

On to next week.

Didn't deserve that.

We had the better open play chances imo.

Rodrigo early on, James, Raphinha, Gelhardt, we created the better openings but final shot let us down.

Much improved today.

Better defensively and a much nice style today, less hoofball and more passing patterns.

City's better players were the difference but of the two games vs City this season we were much better today which js all you can ask really.

So wotcha reckon lads huh ?

Go with try and keep them out and at bay ? Are we good enough to do that ? Could that have been 7-0 if Citeh were at full throttle ?
Can we score in a brothel with a £50 note tied to our dicks ?

On a postcard please.

So Dallas is out for the season I'd imagine. At least we signed a couple of players in January though...

Arhhh. We couldn't score sometimes with Bamford on the pitch and 15/16 chances, as far as i can see we have not become clinical since. Yes fix the pressing issues in defence but really where are the goals going to come from??? Free hit..... 99% of us i'm sure thought we would lose tonight. Lets hope Franks connections to Chelski is not going to play a part?.

Goals are a big concern.

Lets face it if City hadn't been showboating in front of goal it would have been 7!

I think I can see what Jesse is trying to do but I think we do not have the players to execute it.

Not the worst performance overall but we are back where we were in December injury wise and that is my worry.

I had to view without any volume on so could not gauge the crowd reaction at the end but we all need to get behind them and leave the blame game to the summer.
Marsch OUT

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

Marcelo Bielsa. The light that will never go out.

Jay watch how many they missed that if at the other end we would be saying we should've scored, yes we should've had 2 but they should've had 8 in that case.

You are the most biased person on here :lol:

Nope.

We were better today than last time, I don't think anyone would disagree with that.

You will though I assume?
