Never really got going again after all his injuries. Thought he was defensively poor last season, which is get even more exposed at a higher level. We have 4 fullback, none of them currently good enough for this level.

LB, RB and new manager.

First time I've not bothered to watch or listen to a City game in years. Cooper effect.

Chilwell is a far better player.

Cooper can't organise a defensive structure, and we have a batch of below standard defenders, what could possibly go wrong.

Don't think we will have to worry about Cooper after Christmas.

I would be tempted to recall Nelson in January as we have the option, we are struggling it that area so why not give him a try.

They were the same under Enzo, we made plenty of mistake, you just get away with it more in the Championship. People need to go back and look at the number of mistakes we made playing out last season!

I thought he was poor in the Championship, made multiple mistakes which cost us goals.

He's a kid still learning.

Doesn't matter how tactical aware you are if you give 3 goals away due to individual errors.

I'm not a Cooper fan and would upgrade him. But the amount of people that seems to be forgetting the majority of our defensive players where here in the last 2 season of Rodgers reign and under Smith and now Cooper. The same group have been regularly letting in 2 goals a game in the PL for in the last 3 seasons we have been in it. The aren't suddenly getting any better. It's been our achilles heel since the start of the 21/22 season. Under 3 different manager they have been poor, Faes and Justin even coughed up regular error in the championship under Enzo. Massive rebuild at the back needed, I only keep Nelson and Okoli of the current crop.

11 more PL goals to catch up with Owen.

Typical Faes has a mistake in his locker. Still think the fullbacks are a bigger issue then the CBs

I'm not sure, I think age and injures are catching up with him. As a fullback you need to be able to cope with 1 on 1 duels.

We don't have one PL quality fullback.

Honestly Sunday league CBs would be embarrassed with the 3rd.

Both wingers and fullbacks poor Winks and Faes dreadful second half's.

Come on, all 3 goals have come from individuals mistakes. Fault and responsibility aren't the same thing, he's responsibility because he pick the team, but individuals error have blown the game. I'm not a Cooper fan and would have some else in. But the players need to look at themselves.

So who has had a good individual game?

He's can't do a lot about poor execution.

People will try and pin this on the manager. Some dreadful individual mistakes and really poor performances.

Send in the transfer thread we needed a LB and RB. Probably the one of the better first half's we have put together. No need to win it early, they will tire.

Busted flush.

Is he going full Enzo, inverting Ricardo and push Ndidi to 8 or is it a standard 4-2-3-1?
