In his first season he played with such promise, overlapping with Barnes to give City real threat on the left. Oh how such promise dissipated so quickly. He lacks in almost all areas of the game - inability to read the game, basic control, pass (unless unchallenged and backwards), tackle or run with the ball. I anticipate that at the end of his present over paid contract he will struggle to secure a contract within the top four divisions.

Thanks for all the great memories but you can no longer remember your lines so it’s time to leave the stage.

Ado lcfc have the worst professional football defence in Europe? And I do mean in all leagues men and women ?

Not his fault really always expected to be the under keeper- good for practice and the odd game. Otherwise earning a tidy living watching matches. Whilst most of the players don’t want to be on the pitch Ward along with Thomas do not deserve to be.

Ward is not premier league standard. Instead of making himself big like a former keeper he turned away. Admittedly may not have saved it but gave himself no chance..

Thomas was poor last season totally abject this

Last season he criticised the defence due to it's obvious inability to learn from set piece mistakes but when will Brendan hold his hand up to accept his obvious tactical failings. Taking off your strongest midfielder would have been acceptable if you replaced with another hard working midfield substitute to counter press and restrict Brentford space in front of our defence. Instead he brought on Daka!!! as an extra corner flag? What was clear to everyone was that Vardy was restricted by Brentford's defensive formation. To bring on a second Vardy type player albeit without his physical presence whilst sacrificing a hard working closing down defensive midfield position was never going to work. So why do it Brendan? I don't think Daka had a single touch of the ball for 10 minutes and after that the ball boy on that side was more influential!

They will need to strengthen their defence with some experienced PL defenders - Bertrand & Vestergaard?

Alternatively could play it at the end of the match? - perhaps not a good idea after all

We need this and results against Norwich/Watford to lift the fans and give some hope/ spark for next season.

City have been poor this season. Very few memorable performances and a huge amount of frustration when time and time again they concede from set pieces, fail to manage games or simply don,t turn up. Frankly any improvement from the boring pointless possession at the back Puell type performances we churn out week after week would be an improvement. I’m not so bothered whether we win any silverware just please oh please make me enjoy going to king Power Stadium again and restore some pride.

Some papers report City looking for 3 additional first team players. That won’t improve the team given the ineffective recruitment last summer, likely leavers and those previously first team players who have fallen back to just squad players this season such as Barnes plus those where the passage of time has blunted their talents through no fault or lack of ambition on their part- Schmeichel, Albrighton, Vardy. A more radical revision is required.

On the beach - where Tielemans has been all season

The morning after time for some measured reflection. Roma got their tactics spot on exposing City’s frailty whilst exploiting the ref with their true continental style of play (rolling around on the floor) As for City they carried on with the performances they have delivered for most of the season -slow possession based, lacking any drive or tactical awareness to breakdown dogged defences. 2 soft on target shots late on in a game so important as this is just abject.

Time for a change drop Tielemans who has offered little all season. It might be a swan song but give Choudhury a chance. He can’t offer anything less and at least gives a dam when on the pitch .

Lot of negativity here yet at least we have been consistent this season-mastering pointless possession by twaddling around at the back. Incapable of attacking the ball defensively . Clueless how tobreakdown any deep defence and too many underperforming (passenger) players

2.0 until injury time. We loose 2.4 giving away 2 pens and one sending off in a frantic last few minutes.

He’s a quality player when he wants to be however he coasts though games far too often. I wander if Monaco moved him on for the same reasons or was it just the cash? Sublime player when he makes a real effort.

As BR doesn’t care about PL results neither do I. Have a ticket but decided to accept alternative invite. Season is all down to Europa conference. Win it then season will go down as successful when in reality it has been disappointing and frustrating.

No need to panic just heard BR,s interview. What might appear to us mere plebs who no nothing about football as another pathetic capitulation in a highly winnable match is misguided. Instead it’s all part of a master plan for his team to learn lessons - game after game after game

Struggling to think of a player that’s contributed so little, so often and yet is always picked. Please Brendan why oh why do we have to play with 10 men every match?

Injury time = sleep time beyond useless

Difficult to know what to make of Daka so far. Certain parallels with one Ahmed Musa - pace player one excellent outing - Daka v Moscow, Musa v Barcelona. Let’s hope he can adapt to PL and turn great promise into a great player.

At the heart of a very nervous defence on corners and set pieces. His howler today another example. I just can’t see his obvious weaknesses being addressed. Top shot stopper but weak in too many areas this season. Sadly exploited by all PL managers. If City has ambition Kasper needs some real competition next season.

He’s going through a bad spell in the last 2 months of late too often out muscled and out thought. I understand rotation but perhaps he needs a spell out of the first team to re focus
