We have gone to two away games now set up for a draw and I don't particularly enjoy it.

For me being boring is a massive sin, I can't stand it. The Liverpool game so far this season has by some margin been the best bit of football we have actually played
 
There's a simple conclusion that should be clear to us now and it's that we're just not very good.

We've not spent for 3 transfer windows and now we've got it completely wrong.
 
Didnt see game but listened to it and read the comments on here and BBC. Didn’t sound like an enjoyable watch but the positives are that we got a point away from home against a side in form with a lot of the ‘first’ team rested and got another clean sheet.

Drawing away whilst not winning is better than losing. And matches last season’s result.

Wonder if we are the only Club to spend money in the last 4 years or whether other Clubs were allowed to spend on players as well? Anyone got the answer as I can’t be bothered to Google it?

This side has won 1 game in 6 and has the lowest Xg in the league. It's just not a good side guys.
 
Good point, below par boring performance.
Pope good
All 3 CBs good, best from Botman for a while.
Tonali possibly mom for us
Miley ok
Willock poor
Murphy biggest threat till injury
Tino below his best.
Hall started slow but grew into it.
Woltemade looks good. Not a huge amount of service but had a clear penalty waved away.
 
We are a side devoid of any creativity or spark then factor in Eddie has decided to play with a back 9.

We’re just dull and boring. I don’t know what eddies squad decisions are supposed to do, city have named an unchanged line up today for the fourth match in a row.
 
Id take the point all day and if we had the Livar bird on our shirt, we would have had a pen.

We have Gordon back so can attack from both wings again. Nick W is looking good, his link up play is superb. Get Gordon and Elanga feeding off them. Wissa and Ramsey injury have set us back a bit but we have played 3 away and 2 at home and one of those was against Liverpool. I dont know what people want at the moment. Howe is finally starting to rotate and use the squad...... Haven't we been crying out for that for ages?

There is no chance whatsoever of this side getting back in the champions league or Europe in any capacity on what we're seeing and that will be Tonali and Guimareas gone.

They'll cash in on Botman and Howe will be given a few hundred million more, so
We fould be the next Everton if we're not careful... Oh well have it wait and see.

Decent point but we're supposed to be more capable in terms of performance I'm sure having spent 650 million pounds in this squad.
