Reminder of some of past premiership seasons with Ref’s seemingly favoring the established teams, and some of the ‘gamesmanship’ distasteful. We can come back in the 2nd half.
Also their goal: injured Zimmermann struggled, combined with Aarons letting the winger get inside him and then Godfrey being bullied by Haller. A team concession... Got to dig deep here. I’d definitely take a draw.
Ok, so it looks like both Klosse and Zimmerman are now both out injured again. I think they will be sorely missed. Here’s hoping we don’t get anymore key players crocked......... .
Totally architects of our downfall here. We’ve been better second half and then gift the opposition that. A bit of a lesson this.
I really hope Farke makes changes to the lineup soon. I know we have defensive injuries but quite how Stiepermann, Leitner and Trybull are still starting is beyond me. Any team in the league knows they just have to put a little pressure on and we cant get out of our half. Chelsea and Liverpool were a freebies, today was a let down.
You took the words out of my mouth - I do have some real concerns. City are a decent team but I feel the PL is just a little above our present level.
It wasn't just the performance, it was the sense that we were demoralised by a street wise team. I dread to think what it'll be like when Citeh come to CR. They beat West Ham 5-0 and Brighton 4-0 today. If only we had 3 CBs to play.
Our passing was not good enough. It reminded me of the Chelsea game.Too many poor passes. Krul was terrific.
