    We’d have won this with Bielsa in charge.

    Drameh, Summerville, Gelhardt and Greenwood we might do okay mate.

    I know this is City but we really are one of the worst 3-4 teams in the division. The lack of quality when it matters is alarming

    We really do have some moronic fans (in the crowd).

    Meslier - 6. Nothing he could do with 3 of the goals. Otherwise handled the game well. Maybe should do better with the last.

    Dallas - 7. Off injured but before that he epitomised the mentality needed today. He was playing exceptionally until his injury.

    Ayling - 6. Grealish played well against him but Ayling dug in and did what he could.

    Koch - 6. Has to carry a good amount of responsibility for the first. Otherwise looked very good at CB. Much better than in midfield.

    Struijk - 7. First game for a while. Stood up very well for the most part.

    Firpo - 4. Booked early. Turned too often. Outpaced too often. Sloppy in possession. The weak point.

    Phillips - 7. Much improved from Palace. Couple of good tackles and kept possession well in a crowded midfield.

    Klich -8. Great response after a bit of a sulk at Palace. Was aggressive, decent on the ball and covered some serious ground.

    Raphinha - 6. Difficult for him. Lacked service and when he did get the ball was crowded out quickly. Ended up at RB.

    Harrison - 7. Did ALOT off the ball. Ended up at LB. Solid.

    Rodrigo - 5. Much improved attitude from the Bielsa era but decision making is so poor from a player who has played at the highest level.

    Subs.

    James - 4. Can't recall anything from him.

    Gelhardt - 6. No supply. Couple of half chances. Give him a start at Arsenal.

    Greenwood - 5. Needs to do everything quicker. He looks slow both in pace and in the head.

    Less injuries this time around and playing half their B team sandwiched between two European games and we were at home. <ok>

    Thought we played much better than Monday night. City will know they've had a test today. 4-0 flatters them.

    We played well. If we do that for the remaining games we will be fine.

    Hard to believe that Burnley have a 19 goal better goal difference than us.

    Just my opinion…

    Firpo - 2 shockingly bad even by his low standards
    Rodrigo - 3 wrong decision after wrong decision
    Dallas - 4 was clumsy and foolish in his attempts to tackle

    Rest I’d pretty much agree with

    Well I didn't expect anything from that game and that's what we got.

    Hate relying on other teams to get us out of the ****e but come on Chelski.

    Spot on . Maybe if every club had a bottom less pit of money it would be a level playing field. I've no respect for these teams. Buying success. We gave it a go and maybe we will get something from the next two games if we play like this. Beaten by the best team isn't a shock. Proud of the lads today. LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS
