One thing for sure, the players are still 100% behind the manager. You could see from the celebration to the second goal when they swamped him and after the game, Campbell has posted on Instagram how the fans and manager deserve better from them as players.
The celebration was an act of stupidity from a young lad grateful for his chance. The older pros should have known better. They thought the game was over and it was party time, coasting to a nice easy win.
Mentally and physically we are weak as piss.
It should have been Bowen off Evandro on. Put Evandro behind the midfield to cover gaps and see the game out at 2-2.

I’m not sure it should have got to 2-2, I agree Evandro should have been on, probably instead of Meyler.
I’m glad Mazuch played well, I haven’t read back but is the bust up thing with Slutsky/ Dawson true?
 
Must have been said before , Myler's second touch is a tackle.
I've always noticed in possession he always pushes the ball too far in front of him allowing the opposition to take it from him.

Evandro must still not be ready for any decent amount of game time. The whole thing is just a mess.

And Henriksen always seems to be 5 yards away from the loose ball and rarely wins any of them.

Our midfield is the problem - especially once Larsson goes off.

Our midfield has been a problem as far back as Ashbee finishing, bruce had some good players but was unable to get the best out of them. Now we rely on a player Sunderland released

Sunderland didn't release Larsson, he chose City over them.
 
I still maintain that one of our problems is fitness and our lack of it ( **** me the ref looked fitter than most of the city players yesterday) it's no coincidence that we fall away in the last 15 mins or so, and fatigue kicks in,you make mistakes, you become disorganized , you lose your concentration, that why i think we concede some many goal late on, and quite frankly the management team should have sorted this out by now, i know we had a poor pre-season but Slutsky had 4/5 months to sort it out and raise the fitness levels.

Do we have a fitness coach?

That’s because he’s intently focussed on not being near the ball
Yesterday he messed up a few times and accidentally found himself in positions where people would give him the ball. Took him an hour to adapt to make sure it didn’t happen again

I’m assuming he’s catholic too...he certainly seems to pull out consistently

The positioning for everybody yesterday was odd, our fullbacks don’t overlap for some reason. I can only think they’ve been told not to, but when they did it led to two goals.

He set up the second goal.
