Incredibly unfair. Almost everything positive we did came through Barnes. He made too many errors but out of all the players on the pitch today, he's probably the one deserving of the least criticism.

I see your point however, I'm basing this on the last 6 months worth of performances I've seen myself.
I think he's either lacking in confidence, being directed by the boss incorrectly or just not as good as others make him out to be.
I would say everything positive we attempted went down that left hand side via Barnes, but none of it actually came off, there were far too many errors and it was all too predictable.
Of course, I'm not sure we had a choice because Castagne basically just played as the right side of the team today so not sure we could have gone down that side.
I don't think Barnes is a bad player, he's just way overrated.

Faes was our best player today IMO.

Nacho was on the field for exactly 10 minutes and he did as much as Barnes in all the time Barnes was on the pitch. I'd like to see him and Daka together.

Apart from being bollocks this is spot on.

To be fair I was sat in full sunshine the whole game and wore just my city shirt. I was hot. Most of the pitch was in sunshine and I wasn’t running around for 90 minutes. Not defending him but I am also totally unaware of what it’s like to be down there in those conditions for a whole game

Are any of them going to the World Cup? If they can’t cope with October sun god ****ing help them.
Honest -
The side ran out of gas,
They were as flat as tyre,
I didn’t have money for a player
My Fofana didn’t come back from Chelsea
There was an earthquake at the training centre
The changing rooms were flooded –
It wasn’t my fault – I swear to Vester Gaaaaard

Justin doesn't know how to pass the ball forward
Tielemans passing was pretty bad most of the time and why he's played when he wants out does not make sense, when Soyuncu can't get a game.
The accident waiting to happen 'Amartey' came close 3 times in the first half and how Rodgers continues to pick a no better than a Championship player in Amartey over Soyuncu, is just another example of Rodgers sabotaging the team.
I cannot understand how Ranieri was sacked after 9 games after winning the Premiership, yet Rogers has not been moved on!!

"We have played well to 60 odd minutes and then found ways to lose. You have to defend well to win and this season I always felt we would have to be patient after our market in the summer. You can see the players gaining confidence but in that final third we need a bit more luck."
On some boos at the end: "We have set standards with two fifths and and eighth, but we were unable to improve in the market, so we have to knuckle down with what we have. I totally respect our supporters, and when you are suffering there will always be that (the booing).
"My dedication is that we stay strong and gradually I hope we can pull away. It is my responsibility and I accept that."
He’s still making excuses about the transfer window for ****s sake. I can’t stand him.
‘Knuckle down with what we have’
How can they stand to work for the slimy prick?
