I would love to know what the implications of signing Ekitike would be.

Tactical/Formation shift - how?

Isak’s future, looking at next summer onwards.

Potential outgoings - Barnes, Gordon, Willock, Longstaff?

Tbh the sheer enthusiasm he shows for joining the club in that "day one" video has kind of blown me away.

🤣

Elanga is already a club legend in my eyes.

Sunday League behaviour to pull away from heading a ball into an open net

How does Miley get a 5 for playing neat football, maintaining possession and pushing the ball quickly up the pitch on the counter but Joelinton gets a 7 whilst nearly giving Brighton a free goal after terribly giving the ball away in our own box.

Big fan of this Joelinton, Tonali, Miley midfield.

Miley should be starting every game idgaf

Good.

For a team that prides itself being physically superior to most, if not all, teams… this game has been truly shambolic.

Tactics has been absolutely woeful and there were so many red flags before that first goal 🤦‍♂️

This is such a massive red flag, if true, because it’s the same bullshit we saw last time we were in the carabao cup final.

Definitely missing a character and energy from Joelinton, even a few fouls/tackles would have at least made City uncomfortable at times…

Infuriating 🤦‍♂️

Never been high on Willock, Murphy + Burn has punched above their weight all season and Schar’s regression on and off the ball has been disastrous for a team with Krafth as its backup RCB.

This team has an incredibly long way to go.

Fair to say that a lot of fans, including myself, were definitely naive going into this game.

I’ve even been incredibly critical of Eddie Howe and the players over the last 2 seasons but I expected better than this. 🫠

I think both could have been true, City should be weaker (clearly not) but they would’ve been up to right a few wrongs (clearly so).

I think we also gave them far too much respect to settle into the game.

Because they’ve clearly struggled as of recently, it doesn’t mean we were “expected” to beat them but it was definitely our best chance to get a result against them in a very long time.

This constant flip flopping between Trippier and Tino from our fanbase genuinely annoys me because what made Trippier so good for us is not there anymore.

One great game never changed that. Never.

We are so fucking soft, these lot were for the taking today ffs

It's a walkover for City.

It always is at The Etihad.

Dan Burn, Fabian Schär and Kieran Trippier against attackers who pass and move and run. Shitshow.

We've neither the personnel, the tactical nous or the mentality to cope with them.

All the "big" players go missing too. #nufc

Embarrassing performance, Schar pushing into midfield leaving a physically regressed Trippier isolated is tactical suicide.

I expected so much more going into this game. 😐

Nembhard won defensive player of the week/month very recently and I haven’t seen his name mentioned once about how good he has been on that end this season.

I might be a psychopath but I’m really enjoying learning about contract law… just knowing that I didn’t choose the wrong degree makes me feel 100x better

They just scored a fucking screamer

Really poor defensively, that’s 4 really good chances for Birmingham this half and there’s still 5 minutes to go…

Osula might just be my favourite footballer itw.

Osula class, great pass by Longstaff n’ Livramento and a poacher’s goal from Wilson.

I’m really impressed with Osula, I really think he should get more game time moving forward.

Do we want to defend set pieces or not?

What was Longstaff doing? 😐

Obviously I was wrong lmfao

Not a fan at all with 5 at the back. I’ll be as positive as possible inside the stadium but I don’t like it.
