No Eddie. Marmoush back in for KDB.

[Stephen Paul]

Good starting 11

Mon Cityyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Vickki]

Akanji 🤬

[Stephen Paul]

Typical City 

[Hesperus]

Suicidal defence again. How many times this season have we gifted goals through stupid mistakes, and poor decisions from the defence and keeper?

[Stephen Paul]

We are actually making them look good ffs

[gavin]

We improved towards the end of the half at least. But for the most part we were toothless up front and suicidal at the back. Depressing stuff.

[Swiss]

Shocking defending

[gavin]

It is not even defending a lot of the time. It is giving the ball away in ridiculous areas. That ball from Ortega to Kovacic was even worse than the mistake for the goal. Absolutely crazy.

Yarp. Don't disagree.

[Stephen Paul]

Its fucking shocking at the back

[Swiss]

Stupid passes.

Did Akanji turn out of the way of Skelly's shot??

And foden had a mad 10 mins. Should have been hooked off earlier

[Hesperus]

How far we've regressed. Hammered by Arsenal.

This is getting embarrassing now.

[Swiss]

Dire in every 3rd today.

[KunDB]

Utter humiliation.

[gavin]

To equalise and then give away another goal immediately through yet another suicidal pass was bad enough. But what followed was simply unacceptable.

[gavin]

Arsenal didn't even have to be any good.

[Swiss]

We're so vanilla atm.

Why the fuck are we helping their players up off the floor, or Kovacic smiling near the end after being boxed in and conceding a corner.

And why do we always look half arsed when getting back on the counter

[Hesperus]

This isn't just a season we're not going to be competitive. The issues in our squad are not going to be solved by a 20 year old an 19 year old and Marmoush. We're going to be off the pace for a good while.

[KunDB]

To equalise and then give away another goal immediately through yet another suicidal pass was bad enough. But what followed was simply unacceptable.

It happens so often now, start slow & gift the opponents a goal start and then equaliser and let one in shortly after. Everyone knows after a goal you are vulnerable, everyone except this team seemingly.

After their second we effectively give up.
