Or 5 goals conceded in 2 League games.

Frightening.
But totally understandable and expected with our 2 best defenders out bar today's game against a billion pound side.

"get up are you effing shot" as Lowton gets clearly fouled. Just shows you what we're dealing with.

Spoilt, rich bastards 3 up and still have the the cheek to tell our players to get up when they're the masters of cheating.

Lowton off, another injury for us.

No love lost. What happened to sportsmanship?

Of course a big budget helps but it doesn't guarantee success. Look at Fulham a couple of seasons back. It's about buying the right top quality players who fit your style and work ethic.
And if that doesn't work, buy some more. And if that doesn't work, buy some more. And if that doesn't work, buy some more. He's spent half a billion quid on his defence.

You know it’s not going to go your way when Brownhill tries to stop the ball going out for a throwin on the halfway line and it goes out for a corner

We had a shot on target! _ good ball in from Taylor, good work between him and Mcneil there, even when on opposite sides of the pitch.

Frightening.
It's not great, but too put it into context 7 of those goals have gone to Leicester and Man City, we kept a clean sheet at Millwall, and only conceded once against each of Sheff Utd and Southampton. So against the teams you'd expect us to be competitive with, we've been pretty solid.

Not sure I get the logic of playing your best player out of position to accomodation Erik Pieters. Why not try something a bit different in games like this, how about 4-5-1 with McNeil in the free role again?

Wasn't that long ago that they were in league one idolizing players like Michael Branch. They only got through they year on playoffs beating Gillingham on penalties.

If they were in a less fashionable area they'd be just as crap now as Bradford City, Nottingham Forest or Sheffield Wednesday.

It's the Premier League where some of the best players in the world play. That is what makes it the best league in the world. Did you expect the top clubs to shop in the bargain basement? The managers are not going to turn down the millions the owners are prepared to throw at it. Would you?

No but in fairness he has a point with Peppa Pig. He did that at Bayern and now at City. He complains about lack of players often. He spends lots of money.

You can't say the same about Klopp.

I thought McNeil was our best player because he was the only one who looked capable of beating an opponent when in possession.

I have no problem at all acknowledging that Guardiola is amongst the best in the world at spending money and collecting world class footballers.

It wasn't as bad as it looked. Lots more shots versus the richest team in the country and two penalties turned down. I'm confident we'll be okay this season.

Just look at the stats vs Southampton

(When does a team winning 3-0 ever commit more fouls?)?

Hasn't happened since Leeds were good I think.

It baffles me why so many fans are happy for us to not have an shot on target and put in any quality football, JUST because we are playing moneybags city, id like just once to have a bloody go from the start,not much to ask,we do pay our players in excess of 40k a week

Lots of positives for me tonight:

Tarks back. Not a great game but that sharpness will return.

McNeill looked LOADS better.

Barnes back and winning FK’s all over the show.

Brownhill looked decent again

Good run out.

Could’ve had a pen. Taylor’s was for me. Dwight wasn’t but in the context of having Taylor’s turned down it may have been given.

Downside the Lowton injury.

But it's the sustained ability to spend millions after millions.
Your comparison is showing a one-off payment plan as opposed to a bottomless pit.

Strangely. I wouldn't like it.
If you take it to the extreme it would totally ruin the game as we (or certainly I) know it.
I'd sooner see the opposite, not that it will ever happen, transfer spending and wage caps per season.
