Tuchel has to take part of the blame with the XI he chose, but City were the better side. Even if these things had not happened (i.e. Burnley-United-West Ham etc), City would stiil achieve the double league win against us judging from both legs. They are more fluent up in attack, that makes the difference I think and not possession as such. Seymop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want us to enter another rat race again like last season. Need to keep that points gap. Thankfully our two toughest fixtures for the second half of the season are out of the way.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Didn't really turn up..and when we did it was a bit dire. Why keep going backwards?! Oh well...likely be 3rd end of the weekend but onto the next. Seymop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but it would have at least been much closer & would have shown we've improved on last season. We're 13 points behind now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to be positive about it but let's face it... the guy is bang average, always has been, always will be. Should have got Vlahovic... I'm telling you that guy would have been 100% better fit. Fucking frustrating. What do you expect ? You expect in a game where we try to do something through counterattacks Lukaku to shine ? Neither he nor Costa, Hrubesch, Chivers or anyone like that would.

Well, its just down to recruitment. With our starting 11 fully fit we can give them a go. I'm sure with a prime Eden Hazard, this squad which is a great cast of supporting players would have been up there. We no longer have a marquee player in the ranks like City or Liverpool do.

Mário César 1,280 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 lukaku was shit but the lack of quality of our attacking players was very poor.. they can't make a decent pass or cross... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Lukaku should be sold, 30 years of age and he keeps being the worst player on the pitch every big game he plays. No passion in him . Just another 90mins . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never a footballer but scored 30 goals per season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mário César 1,280 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 and come on city won the last 12 games... its impossbile to challenge with that even when united won a lot of titles with ferguson, they wasn't so good that is city. We need to be perfect that is impossible. very hard to won a title against guardiola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,936 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Even with our full compliment of players fit like Chilly and RJ we don’t have the capability to rattle off 10, 12, 15 league wins in a row like City have done for multiple seasons now. That’s the difference. It requires damn near perfection to finish above them now because they’re capable of insane midseason winning streaks. Even at our fittest and best we were still capable of dropping silly points to shit teams multiple times. Unless we bin Lukaku and sign Haaland we will also have no chance of winning the league next season either. And god knows that ain’t happening. Haaland will probably end up on City and make the league even more of a piss take for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. in all the games vs City last season, we played out of their press easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
