How many changes is that? The constant changing of the starting line up is not conducive to consistency at all imo.

Were playing West Ham by the way

Blimey, sat watching the Arsenal match and distracted a lot, hoping they drop points. Absolutely sick of the biased Arsenal commentary. That is my excuse. Anyway, I've changed it now so everyone else will wonder wtf you were on about.

[KunDB]

Arsenal late goal. That is what champions do, sadly.

I'm totally confused by this switch to switching the line up by Pep.

Still prefer Guehl and Khusanov as the centre backs.

Should stick with the full backs for RM and keep Nico in midfield.

Come on City

[Stephen Paul]

Big big game for City

In Pep we trust ?

[gavin]

Not a great first half. We are not creating enough, far too slow. And, of course, it only takes one corner for the opposition to score.

What a finish from Bernardo though, wow. My first impression was that he had done it on purpose and I'm sticking with it.

[KunDB]

In convinced watching the replay that he intended to do that, switch off for shape last second.

Donnaruma is poor in the air.

[gavin]

We should have won that but nothing fell for us in the box and when it did it fell to Guehi. He should be doing better than that even as a defender. Mind, Haaland was pretty useless again too.

[KunDB]

Tried hard, but didn't create enough clear chances.

Arsenal may organise the parade.

May put all our energy into winning both domestic cups.

[Hesperus]

Poor again. We seem to be regressing.

With the results today, that's the league gone.  To a boring as shit arsenal team btw!

League cup final is huge now. Can we lift ourselves to actually put a performance on that we are capable of???

Not sure is my honest answer. 😕

[Vickki]

Simply not good enough!

[Stephen Paul]

Looks like the league is gone for us now


Not good enough this season

[Hesperus]

Not good enough last season either.

That's more than a slump.

The poor recruitment is really hitting us.

Kush, Cherki and O'Reily may come good or have the potential to be very good.

The rest, I'm not seeing anything to suggest they will be anything other than decent.

[Stephen Paul]

Out of the title race and CL in a week ffs

[gavin]

City were more worthy winners yesterday than Arsenal but that is football. They got the luck in the last minute.
