Kompany has surely realised the players that do and do not deserve to be starting after today.

Bit too late now as he's sent players out on loan that could have been playing!!

bumba

I do feel like if Traff wasn't English or played for the U21s or had some platitudes off VK there'd be a lot less support. Hand on heart if I thought he was giving us the best chance to win a game I'd be massively in favour of him starting - but I just do not see it and I'm not seeing an improvemen...

Different positions / profiles / higher ceiling?

Bit he's using Ramsey at times in a wide position. I've seen nothing at all from Ramsey to suggest he'd ever even reach Bensons current level. Zaroury has a much higher ceiling

bumba

Not saying he hasn’t, but he’s played the equivalent of just over 4 games for us in the league - 386 mins - and he’s 21. The fee isn’t his fault, he’s still very young and I don’t think he’s been given the best chance to succeed. Why not save the money and give Zaroury and Benson a chance? Both pla...

Brownhill shouldn't be starting let alone captain

He’s hoping he’s going to turn into Buffon , ain’t happening anytime soon!

Ahhhh but we're forgetting....he had one good half at Brighton so should be going the euros as England's number 1!!!!!!

So you say, I say different. Ger over it!

I was over it before Christmas, it's now just a running joke

He didn't make any saves today I wouldn't have expected even Vigouroux to make today

Our manager obviously doesn't agree with you and I'll trust him over you.

Why would you trust him more when he's clearly got it wrong? He's obviously sticking with him to justify the £19 million he's wasted

bumba

What about defending corners? In the second half we had 5 players stood at the front post marking 0 Fulham players whilst 5 of there players stood towards the far side with Vitinho trying to stop a 6 foot plus centre half

bumba

How is this guy thought of more highly than Benson and Zaroury?? It's truly mind boggling

bumba

Showed more fight in the second half than the whole team put together in a full season

Trafford 5 Assignon 7 promising start Vitinho 6 second half was much improved O'Shea 4 back to being a donkey Ekdal 4 too slow Berge 6 Brownhill 4 offers nothing at this level Ramsey 3 joint worse signings of the summer he's diabolical Amdouni 4 Foster 6 JBG 5 Fofana 8 has to start now Esteve 7 prom...

bumba

The same team as against City in the week minus Amdouni as he appeared to static for most of the game. Amdouni will definitely start at home I think, he's the only player who looks to try and create anything. Assignon I imagine will come in at right back and Vitinho to left back if Taylor isn't fit...

bumba

Tbf the left hook was an absolute beauty , but yeah it didn’t look like something that would normally catch the eye . Presume it sliced across the soft tissue around the Wallin injury , it might even be the same cut ?? Think it is the same region as the cut against Wallin. Does look like the elbow ...

bumba

The video is doing the rounds, seemed a nothing of a short range left hook catches him in the eye but he's wearing a head guard so not sure how it's such a bad cut

bumba

So which one of this current first team squad is the £100 million man?

bumba

Postponed due to a bad cut to Fury

bumba

Lots of negativity around the manager & coaching team regarding Zaroury & Benson without any foundation & plenty of silly rumours, surely it’s up-to both of them to grab the shirt & make it theirs at the start of the season especially when players are signed in their positions? We have had 2 player...

bumba

10 will need to go given the squad size is over 30, particularly if we want a few fresh faces too. But that over 30 includes the likes of Jay, Cork, Taylor who are out of contract, and fringe players like Churlinov, Twine, McNally, Egan-Riley… 7 there already. Muric probably won’t stay on the Champ...

bumba

Not really because we have 4-5 out on loan who’ll come back in. That’s the real advantage of having that depth - we can lose several and still have experienced players to step in. Few positions will remain to be a problem though and need replacing, I agree. Are those going to be anywhere near the q...

bumba

He was, genuinely one of my favs to ever put on the shirt (sole moments of genius out of nowhere) but I wouldn't want him back on a loan - we're well stocked in that area. Be a good move for both Palace and Cornet that. Would be a brilliant loan if we went three at the back with wing backs, he'd be...

Muric
Beyer O'Shea Esteve Taylor

Berge Brownhill

Fofana Amdouni Odabert

bumba

Does the obvious need repeating? We’re not very good right now but there’s reasons for that, young inexperienced side, mistakes in the summer and we’ve needed to pray those from last season were good enough. I believe in time we will return stronger and better prepared to compete. You have no idea ...

bumba

Great result that. Feels like a win :) In all seriousness, there were plenty of positives from tonight. Some of the comments on this thread are beyond embarrassing. Clueless is an understatement. We were playing the best team in the world, with unlimited wealth at their disposal. Clueless is somebo...

I don’t think we are much better at all, the club has made huge mistakes in the summer window. I just think with time we’ll get there.

Not what you have been saying the past few months, our model isn't about time this is the issue.
If we go down it's fire sale and rebuild

May aswell mention Coyles 3-3 draw there if we’re going that far back

You keep telling us how much better we are now though too so should compensate how much better City are

10 year ago before Pep even arrived, they’re miles better since then.

City were premier league champions. Would you like the goal posts moved any further?

It was at home Gudmundsson for the equaliser in the 88th min

Wasn't that 1-1 at home?
So Dyche got two draws and a win against City

I don’t think Dyche got a draw there

2-2 from 2-0 down in 2014

Zaroury just done more in one run than Odabert and JBG did put together all match

How the **** does the City keeper not see a red card there

Barge in the back is a yellow then he wraps his arm round his neck so at least two yellows. Odd decision

Didn’t Larsen and Haaland play in the same Dortmund side? Either way, completely unacceptable.

Probably at Dortmund together but could save it for after the match

Wake up and smell the coffee, they’re the best side in Europe, we’re relegation fodder. Those stats go back to Dyche days too, ain’t **** changed, we need some Arab casb Dyche also got a draw there and beat them at home with a smaller budget and weaker team.

3-0 down and our subs are hugging and joking with Haaland on the side of the pitch

we could play 10 at the back and it still wont be enough... just enjoy the ride tonight - the real game is on Saturday If he's willing to play Al Dakhil left back tonight I'd wager he goes with him there Saturday too. Vitinho can play left back and Roberts right back or even switch Vitinho and Al D...

Way to go in totally misunderstanding the post.

We’re down because we’ve been ****. The Luton game was the confirmation match, that’s all I meant.

In fairness it was confirmed in 2023 that we'd be relegated this season

bumba

The results tonight are irrelevant, we’ve been down from the second VAR robbed us against Luton. The points requirement is well beyond us. Focus should be on hopefully not going down with a whimper to build some momentum for next season and getting some idea of the players we’re going to be buildin...

Everton might get some back and then lose more for the latest infringement :D. They had that run of games and are struggling again now. Probably win tonight though with the way it is going with the other scores. Imagine the embarrassment of finishing below them though when they've had two separate ...

bumba

Delcroix, Al Dakhil, Roberts and Vitinho have all played left back. Wouldn’t shock me if he tried Esteve there either. Not all great options (just like right back) but they are options. If Taylor is fit, he is hands down our best full back. Al Dakhil was an absolute waste at left back, we should NE...

Luton are doing better than us because they used the transfer window to sign players who would improve their team. We signed players to trade for profit.

Also a profit that won't still be available upon relegation, strange summer

To be fair, I’d say with Kompany’s signings YouTube has proven to be a pretty good barometer of what you’re getting. Bar maybe Tresor.
