Foden is a fantastic player isn't he...

FFS. Embarrassing.

To be fair, finishing outstanding today

matttheclaret · Post by **matttheclaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:28 pm

Just garbage how we fold against City, time after time after time. It's amazing how other teams at least manage to make things somewhat difficult for them. We're on for our fourth straight 5-0 at the Etihad (if we're lucky)

For a team with a supposedly "strong jaw", it's pretty pathetic.

kritichris · Post by **kritichris** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:28 pm

Given that goal difference can be crucial when you're at the bottom this is suicidal.

Bertiebeehead · Post by **Bertiebeehead** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:29 pm

If Tarks is after a move away, he’s not exactly advertising him self well.

You won't want to see the next 3 - turn it off

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:30 pm

Ive not seen most of the game but have any of our lads actually put in any kind of hard - but fair - challenge on any of the City players.
It's games like this where we do have to chase them down and rough them up. A minimum of five bookings required.

northeastclaret · Post by **northeastclaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:30 pm

Yet another assist for Tarks , 3 passes to them 3 goals

Shaggy · Post by **Shaggy** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:30 pm

Do we now have the worst goal difference in the league?

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

Admittedly I'm only listening on the radio, but it sounds utterly disgraceful. Yes, it's Man. City, but we play top teams pretty often. There's something about us when we play this team.

Inferiority complex doesn't come close to describing it.

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

Remember when we drew 2-2 at the Etihad? That was fun!

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

It's games like today when you realise the value of defensive wingers like Boyd and Arfield.

Only chance you have in these games is to hold on and the team put out today relied instead on two strikers to do the same job.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

Was hoping to see a little more in terms of shot stopping from TPF. Not expecting him to lead us to a clean sheet but when you're going to face as many shots as City will offer I'd hope to see more than one save.

huw.Y.WattfromWare · Post by **huw.Y.WattfromWare** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

We are seen as a defensive, hoofball side but the lower end teams who take points from Citeh defend with more numbers than us but somehow manage to sneak out and score. We haven’t got the pace to do this and playing that way doesn’t help our front two, no support.

Bertiebeehead · Post by **Bertiebeehead** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:31 pm

I ******* hate Glen Hoddle.

Pstotto · Post by **Pstotto** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:32 pm

6-6 anybody?

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:32 pm

Joke joke joke.

"Might be the next Pope..." Lol. Who said that?

He's been league 2 at best today

It’s a game where the minimum requirement was maximum effort.

Unfortunately some lost translation it became the maximum requirement is minimum effort.

simonclaret · Post by **simonclaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

Lol at BT giving us the goal just because BPF pushed it in.

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

BPF with the try

6-0

kritichris · Post by **kritichris** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

Perhaps we need a 9-0 Southampton type defeat to bring us round.

Lucky boy. Two howlers ruled out by var today

superdimitri · Post by **superdimitri** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

Lowton pulled to the floor and no freekick.
They counter and Lowton scores an own goal. Disallowed.

Terrible refereeing. Should have been a freekick to us.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

Ruled out

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:33 pm

Ffs

6

BPF saves well from Jesus then it trickles I’m off his knee

Blushes saved. Ruled offside

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

6-0 BPF OG after a great initial save.

Probably the worst we’ve ever played in the Premier League this, regardless of the opposition. We’ve not even looked bothered.

jojomk1 · Post by **jojomk1** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

That was unlucky for BPF

But I did have a bet of over 5 goals in match

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

Thats 6. 15 minutes to go.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

Might cash out on the draw now.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

VAR...offside.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:34 pm

Against the run of play, we were just starting to get on top. Justice done as VAR saves a second blunder from our keeper

5-0 down , blame the referee

Benson not afraid to play some incisive balls. Been our best player.

Just because we're terrible it doesn't mean to say that Mason has improved.
He's consistently poor irrespective of the scoreline

That'll soon be knocked out of his game.

scouseclaret · Post by **scouseclaret** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:38 pm

Charlie Taylor has been crap this afternoon. Easily done by Marez for the second and AWOL for two, if not three of the others.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:38 pm

Benson, considering everything, is doing very well at times.
