After yesterday's results we have the opportunity to make ground up on all the sides above us in this round of fixtures. And on paper could it be any easier? At home to a team bottom of the table. Surely even we can't mess up this golden opportunity, or can we?
He's either semi-permanently injured or he has seriously hacked off JM. You would have thought that after all the graft and pain involved in coming back from injury he would be the last one who needs a bomb up his arse to get a performance out of him.
He was **** the other day but I give him the benefit of the doubt as it was his first game in ages. The trouble is, if he doesnt play a run of consecutive games he'll never regain any form. **** knows what's going on behind the scenes.
City 2 - 0 up away from home in 20 minutes. I'd love us to score a goal in the first 15-20 minutes. Been craving it all season tbf.
Woeful from us again. Rashford on the left just doesn't work. Valencia on right is simply nothing more than a squad player. This is just dire.
That from Valencia typifies everything wrong with our final ball. Three players in the box and he just hits and hopes... gets the ball back.. hits and hopes again... straight to a Hull defender.
Another ****e first half. One of many this season, they all seem to blurrrrrr into insignificance. I wouldn't mind if we played some entertaining football. But this is lacklustre, pedestrian, dull and unimaginative from us. Against a side that cost a fraction of the players we have out there... again. Huddlestone bossing the midfield ffs!
The way we've been playing, even IF we win tonight it's only a matter of time before we fall away. It's like we're crawling our way to the finish line at the moment.
