Dembele on a free is a no brainer. If he really sucks - you can recoup for a sell fee. He is not that bad to even get to that point. He can be a massive gamechanger with his speed and technique alone coming into a game.

More speed and more pressing. Sterling, Dembele, Gnabry, etc are all great options. Someone to hound and track. Game is constantly getting faster, and speed kills. Liverpool have won a PL title and CL largely in part because of how relentless their 3 up top are and how quick they are.

Always glad to see Pep fail. So tired of hearing how they're the best club and he is the best manager. Sure bud, not like anyone else could win equal the amount of trophies with the same bank roll... Ludicrous statements that get proven wrong time and time again.

Haaland off to Citeh... Great.

So who is buying us? Any updates?

I could care less who they support politically. Everyone is allowed their choice there. They seem to have a terrible track record running organisations, hence it is a no from me if possible.

Need more fast paced wingers if we get rid of Timo. CHO, Puli are not enough. Get Dembele and two more barn burners to exploit defenses. These rapid guys are ones that can play quick passes too and help breakdown defenses that sit back as well.

Hope City bottle it. Can't stand Pep. Overrated muppet with an unlimited bankroll. Most managers would do well.

Pace and dynamism is what we need. Traore should have been picked up - as on a better team he would have thrived like he is at Barca. He doesn't need to be perfect. He just needs to have moments. I'd be all for Dembele. Technical and fast. Play Kai in the middle with the options of Dembele, Wener, Puli and CHO all there. That is ideal. Dembele on a free would be no risk. We need a big, technical midfielder as well. That and a fullback who is okay on both sides. Mainly left. Reece James, for as fickle as our fans are week to week is a locked on starter for me.

Great game, great performance, and obviously not the result we wanted. I'm not fussed, since for me, we won that considering the BS method by which OFFSIDE is judged. The part of his body that can score was onside, so it is onside. Regardless, this just points to a bright future going forward. I think still at this point we are a team that can be the best in the world on a given day, but given our lack of experience, we can't carry it for an entire season. Liverpool went through the same thing when Klopp came. Havertz and Pulisic make us dangerous, and Mount really keeps our engine going from an attacking standpoint. As soon as these young guys can become consistent with the performance they put out today, we will be golden. We missed a tonne of chances, but I don't think it is a sign of bad finishing... we just had an off day in front of goal. It happens. We did put the ball in the net a couple times, but some close offsides as well.

Just saw this. Don't know how I missed it. Disgusting human. Glad he isn't here anymore.

We need a Kante lite. A roamer and disrupter of play. That is ultimately what we are missing at the moment. Another LB would be nice too.

This team isn't built to win a title over the course of the season. We are a cup winning team. Kinda like Liverpool back in the day in mid 2000 period. We don't have enough players on this team who you can look to and know what kind of performance you'll get from them every week. Week in, week out. City have it in abundance. Liverpool too.

He did, but a dumbass pass will catch anyone out from time to time. I never said he shouldn't get blamed. It should have been first hit out.

The pass was shorter than a bees knob. It is a good thing he even got to it.

Anyone putting more blame on Mendy over Jorgi on that one needs to check themselves.

Jorginho is just a cog. I don't care to hear the "important piece" talk anymore.

I think we have been pretty average to start this season, have not got a whole lot of rhythm, have played a whole bunch of tough teams... Yet we are first on the ladder and none of our players are clicking just yet. Can't complain too much if this is the worst we will be all season. Hoping we can get it together and push forward from here.

Best player on the pitch the other day. Looked f*cking incredible.

He was hot and cold yesterday. Terrible defending, decent going forward. I don't know if this was always his level, but it certainly feels like he was a lot better last season. Maybe just needs some time.

I agree. I was always a big fan and wanted him to break through but... He is great with the ball at his feet, and helps us beat the press, which I thought we were terrible at against Southampton out of all teams... then he can't find a pass. Million dollar moves, two cent finish.

First off, thought we were very poor. A big team would have thrashed us today. Werner, poor in the first half. Got it together later. Thought CHO was good, didn't want to see him subbed. Was one of the few dangerous players for us going forward. Rudiger was immense today, as was Silva. Chillwell... ultimate hot and cold in one game, and I don't really care about the penalty. JUST SO MANY MISTAKES... Just doesn't look anywhere near as good as he used to. Kovacic is class. We aren't dealing with presses very well. RLC is a great press buster, but he losses the ball instantly due to the fact he runs with his head down and has no vision. Million dollar moves, two cent finish. Lukaku doesn't get enough service, but he is a lazy player that makes it difficult for us to get out. Just need to figure out something that will work if Lukaku has to be on the pitch every game. Especially against bigger teams.

Same. Embarrassing performance. Should be ashamed.

Grealish is embarrassing.

Glad that happened. Hopefully we start playing. Were absolutely pathetic before that.
