I only counted Meslier making 1 save.

Same as we got last time when City had 31 shots and Meslier had to make 15 saves

Today they had 19 and 6.

Can't you just praise an improved performance rather than trying to make a point?

Your constant agenda is really tiresome

Been at work with no Internet, did Philips get injured again?

Yeah I know Kenny. I'm just in post match depression. I don't think it was a terrible performance. It kind of aped Bielsa in some ways.
It's going to come down to us beating the 2 B's at the end. It was ever thus

Firpo and Rodrigo were absolutely dire incidentally.

A recruitment disgrace from Orta and Bielsa.

Only Phillips of them played today.

Perhaps your hero should've let us make some signings in January then!

How long does it take to get defenders defending set pieces ok ? 1 week ? 6 weeks ? I dunno myself, anybody ?
What if they look like they'll never learn, what dya do then ?
Will it all click into place after 2 months ?

We need some help from Chelsea tomorrow that's for sure. What's happened today with us & Burnley is hardly a shock.
I still believe we had a decent go considering the chasm between us. Some awful luck with injuries and some poor selection decisions,
i.e. not Firpo & surely for effing once JG from the effing start

I don't see how you can moan about the poor squad, while ignoring who was in charge of it.

Ironically I think we played really well. We looked more cohesive in that setup. We're just missing Paddy up front. Someone to just put their foot on the ball but I think if we play like that in the next two games then there's points to be had definitely.

We've been defending them way better recently with Cooper back. Only 1 goal conceded in 3 games before today. You'd have to admit losing Coops before kick off is seriously unlucky

He didn't have his best players available to him, like Jesse didn't today, when he did have his best players available we looked good and a threat.

Wheels, cogs gears they all need each other

I know how you feel, try half a season and it can kill you.
