Can’t defend. At all. Especially in this system.
We need moves lined up for defenders on January 1st. We won’t though. We will be farting around all month before signing Dawson or Mee or something.
Credit to the keeper - he might save us a lot of money when it’s all said and done.

Well, it wasn’t as bad as we expected but we still lost comfortably. You can’t paper over cracks with slightly smaller cracks.

Fairly heroic backs to the wall job until the equaliser. After that it was largely the same error strewn, back passing garbage we've become accustomed to..
At least Stolarczyk was considerably better than Danny Ward.

We won’t… but even if we did they will be shit. Unmitigated shit.

Well, I thought we did well. We have massively inferior players to Liverpool and yet gave them a game.
But for some poor decisions/skills from Mavididi and Daka in advanced positions, we could have pushed them even more than we did.
We have a poor Championship level defence. Unless we can do something about that, we're going to concede at least a couple every game.

The team grafted tonight and with Ndidi, Fatawu and Vardy playing I think we could have been more competitive. This shows how thin we are as a squad.
our Achiles heel will and continues to be our defence, we need a LB,RB and CD as an absolute priority in January.
Another Ndidi/Kante style player will help us enormously, a minimum of 4-6 decent players will help us remain competitive.
it was not embarrassing tonight and that is a positive. Ayew is infuriating he really struggles to lift his head when he has the ball, he had some great opportunities to play through the lines tonight.

First half was good, no complaints, even defended well and compared to recent horror shows we were competetive for most of 1st 45 minutes. Although Gakpo should have at least been challenged, his goal was top class - Mads wouldn't have got there either.
Second half - same old shit and the score line could have been even worse.
ManCity most be slobbering in anticipation at the easiest win they will get this season.

The officials and VAR didn't see the handball which should have been a penalty for us. Even the biased commentators said so when they saw the replay. Their second goal looked offside, the line they showed went through the chest of a Liverpool player. It could easily have been 2-2 with a bit more luck, a result that I think most of us would have been happy with.

We weren't complete shit in the second half. We looked much, much better during that game than we have done for a long while.
Don't get me wrong, we were still making stupid, avoidable errors but there was at least some decent passages of play at times.
We are missing Ndidi terribly and that's causing us huge problems in terms of breaking up play. Soumare is doing his best and although he is much, much better this season we still see moments of Soumareness which aren't covered by anyone.
It's Buonanotte being left out that is the strange one for me. I've no idea why our only real creative player is being shit out unless we have already made some sort of agreement with Brighton for a different player. With Ricardo being out he's got very few options but to continue with Justin unless he puts Choudhury there but would he be any better? Could Okoli play there? We have to try something.
Let's be honest even if he manages to get a 2 CBs, a RB, a LB a CM and a Striker in, which of course is impossible, we'd still be looking at a fair few games before they all started to come together as a unit.
Our only real hope is that Palace, Wolves or Everton implode and we can continue to be slightly better than Southampton and Ipswich. It's a massive ask.

Would have been over the moon with 2-2 at any point during the match. It’s just we wouldn’t have held them out.
They found it easy to get the ball in dangerous positions and we would have cracked. Our defence did okay but let’s be honest it was never going to finish 2-2 unless we got a massive slice of luck.

This is the bit that seems to be forgotten a lot.
Understandably I suppose as we are so obviously the worst defensive unit in the league if you break it down.
But we are so ****ing abysmally poor at creating anything too as to be a team with nothing to offer in any tangible sense.
The goals we have managed to score have come from very few chances. A conversion rate like that isn't sustainable over the long term. Especially if Vardy isn't playing.
We've got **** all at each end.
If we were an animal we'd just be a big stomach with no mouth & no arse.
I doubt even the Aussies on here have ever seen such an unlikely creature.
