I'm starting to agree on Longstaff like, obviously Hayden and Hendrick are useless, but Longstaff when he 1st came in looked like he had it. But we can't just keep sticking with him hoping 1 day he'll show that form again I'd loan him out for a season I think rather than sell. But yeah we need Willock signed plus at least 2 proper centre midfielders
Hayden has a purpose mate. With a creative controlling midfielder he will be fine. The rest are clart!
This season for sure But I think previously it was 10%, Newcastle vs City under Rafa? Was it as low as 10? Someone will remember
No real complaints about that performance. Man City normally steamroller teams, at least we played with a lot of effort and gave them a scare. No shame in that. Desperate for a quality holding midfielder and someone decent to help Wilson out. Not too dismayed tonight. Them subs though Bruce
It was low like, I remember Gary Neville and other ****ers crying about it on Sky because we didn't go gung-ho and get pumped for their entertainment, even though we had players missing Quick Google suggests it was 19%, and we were slated then. Wonder if we will be now
Hayden is **** We need proper cms mate we've got 5 or 6 of them that are two leagues below what's required
I remember it being absolutely turgid to watch to be fair, probably one of the worst games we ever played under Rafa. Neville and all that proper digged in, but it was BT Sport that led the charge on that I think
We’ve had more possession than the opposition in one game all season mate…and even that was 51-49 in our favour I believe. That was against Crystal Palace….a game we lost! I’d call that more unacceptable than face down arses up against Man City like!
Yeah his subs were terrible but I personally felt like the inevitable happened... Our players ran out of gas and we lost the threat on the counter which was all we had. We of course don't have any options of any real quality on the bench.. Just a load of championship clart. We did OK really could've got the win if shelvey didn't exist
Bruce did it in the cup vs City lady season that was worse imo, but I think the bruve Jones thing works just fine... If we get two proper cms and a striker to compete with Wilson we'd have a good side
I think the side is fine, but the manager is seriously lacking. I know you wanna support him now, but there are far, far better out there. I don't think we should criticise his every movement, but, in the long term he's taking the club absolutely nowhere.
