Guardiola quote on Grealish and his mentality on letting players play their way back into form. Really highlighted to me by comparison how miles off we are from being a top side again.

It was predictable but still painful Cole Palmer is the only player that really feels Chelsea quality consistently

Nice bit of time wasting from the offside - almost a whole minute lmao

Poor defending from set pieces again

Cole Palmer seems to have really good fitness

Painful watching how Klopp embraces his players like his sons and Poch awkwardly talks with them like men he's just met down the pub

Having Mudryk and Nkunku fresh should really help us in ET, hopefully

Tense game this

VAR rescue job

I said reliable! I actually pay for Sky Sports but my Sky box is broken right now, thought it wouldn't matter as usually streams are decent but they're all rubbish for me today...

Anyone using a good, reliable English stream?

Happy with the result and I am not actually in the Poch out camp, but I still disagree strongly with how he managed the game today, but hey ho - no way of knowing what would have happened if he had made different changes and in the end a 1-1 away at City is a fantastic result. Well done Poch & players.

Honestly when did bringing on more defenders to try to be solid and hold out for 3pts last work as a technique? Not since Conte or Mourinho's era. I have always found it baffling. Attacking is part of defense because by being a threat you also limit what they are prepared to commit to going forward. Against a team like City it is borderline moronic to think they wont score if you just let them attack you over and over.

And we concede. No threat going forward since the subs. Made it too easy for them tbh

We are always the side that turns another teams run of bad form into the beginning of a nice win streak for them. But I am the reckless kind of optimistic that still believes this time will be different.

You think so? I would be shocked if they sacked him, as frustrating as everything is, sacking another manager would just be more of the shambles they supposedly are against.

I wonder if our recruitment team or Poch are closer to the sack atm?

I've pretty much tuned out of the season now, life too busy, do we have any positives from this group? Petrovic any good? Nkunku?

Sterling our only guy in his prime and it shows

Same old defensive problems and refereeing problems, but at least we look somewhat dangerous and fluid going forward.

Have said it so many times but VAR like this will never work, give the managers a challenge system and detail review if they use it, not these super frequent disruptions that don't resolve anything and ruin games both getting the decisions themselves wrong and also constantly interrupting the flow of the game.

We are pretty boring to watch aren't we?

Not even slightly his fault?

Thank you for your service Vesper

And yet he's been our best player in some games. What I think is fair is to say he's not very consistent - not yet at least.
