Porro chose a bad fixture to have his worst passing game since joining the club. Ditto Kulu and Bents. Even Romero dawdled on playing long balls. Very frustrating

Fair, don't disagree.
0 trophies in Sixteen years sounds even worse. But unfortunately, whatever spin you try and put on it, it's also a stone cold fact and a stain on these owners who've shown time and time again they couldn't give a fuck about winning..
Lions led by donkeys
Point still stands, argue in context if you wanna have a objective discussion on it but then again we are talking about you here so...

Unacceptable that there was only 1 player making a run into the box on this play.
Not like it was a fast break. This was a well worked passing play out of the back. Skipps ball wasn't great but still unacceptable no one is anyone near to attack it.
You’re right
If someone had attacked the near post they might have got on the end of it!
A lot of players stayed back. Either exhausted or not brave enough. Maybe a little bit of both, but have to think Ange won't be happy with this effort.
I see it exactly the same way.
Vic needed to push him — I mean manhandle him— out of the way before the corner is taken. The ref might come over and have a word (and our captain needs to have a word back) but he’s not giving a penalty for ‘jostling’ before the kick.
Or, a CB, needs to do the job for him. The fact that we let them get away with the same tactic over and over before the winning goal just goes to show our passivity.
As for professional fouls, there’s no better team in the league than City at fouling to break up a quick transition.
Edited to add: For those expecting a foul call, take a look at the Luton goal v Burnley where Trafford is totally impeded. We are never getting that call under much milder circumstances

It was the same all night. No numbers getting forward or in to the box. Strange performance when compared to the rest of the season
Do you think that the players, were a bit gripped by fear and, forgot the game plan.
I bloody knew that was gonna happen! That we'd actually at least try and go toe to toe with 'em and get beat . The times we've sat back, looked terrible and fluked a win or draw against 'em it was meant to be.
Of course I want the result but I Still prefer the former approach and if Biss, Sarr n Sonny were there could well have been a different story.
Positives.. Decent atmosphere and good to see Micky is flying again.
We're well ahead of where I thought we'd be and can feel it in my water that good things are a coming!

Clutching at straws mate
Not sure, city started like a house on fire pressing us and we never recovered. We were just flat. Thought the midfield 3 especially were way off it.
“never stopped running”
Ffs why couldn’t we that? Doesn’t need expensive players or technical skill to actually run and pressure the player with the ball. That was the worst tho g about the performance we just didn’t look up for it no fight. If their players can run so can oursx
Think they wanted it a bit more than we did.
This was disgraceful from Tierney and VAR.
That’s high and studs showing. No doubt intent from Walker as well as Udogie had just fouled Bernardo.
Not why we lost but cowardly inept officials
100%. That’s what I saw. Attacking the south stand second half and we barely moved out of our pen box. We kept pissing around with the ball at the back so slowly they didn’t even need really exert any energy in their press. We made so easy for them! What don’t understand how when they had the ball they just waltz through from the back to our pen box with virtually no pressure. Few times we forced them back but generally we like all scampering back into our own half mainly in the middle of the park. Hence why they had so much space on the wings. It was like watching Conteball.
Disgraceful decision by an absolute cunt of a ref who should only be officiating in Div 2 games in future
Just not up to it!

I hope when we play the Bees
That we don't freeze
And win with ease
They score none and we score 3
Are you Basil Fawlty?
I can kinda accept that there was mental fatigue setting in towards the very end (see PEH's double-flubb) when you're under fire for the bulk of 80+mins. However, rightfully or wrongly; there was defo a lack of literal energy about out play in the 2nd half...... No coincidence that Skipp was the freshest man on the field at that point; he looked way more juiced than the rest of them in that play.
