Ruud has to have spoken to Mavididi, first time in weeks he hasn’t stood on the ball and slowed us down to an almost standstill. Loads better. Come on City 🦊

100% agree mate. At least go with the 2 who are best physically, which I believe to be Faes and Okoli. Both Coady and Vestegaard both seemed absolutely unwilling to do the basics of defending against Wolves and cost us the first goal. That is unacceptable and yet here they are, both starting again.

Questions, again, already: Bounanotte on the bench, Ayew starts..? Faes not even in the squad. Coady and Vestegaard at centre half again. You’d have assumed at least one of Faes/Okoli starts after the Wolves debacle, surely?

Honestly, the signings we did make take the limelight when it comes to how poor our recruitment has been but this is THE standout example of just how slapdash and scattergun our approach has been for multiple windows now. We shirked at the 12 million that allowed us to cover both flanks and an option through the middle on a single British player with a clear high ceiling. One of the decisions which moved us nicely head long into the situation we find ourselves in with J.Ayew starting Premier League games for us out wide. Sheer incompetence and arrogance - "we'll be alright if we do the bare minimum" attitude on display far too often from the heirarchy.

What’s the alternative mate..? We ain’t got Baresi, Beckenbauer and Maldini waiting in the wings unless you know something I don’t? Faes gets absolute pelters on here but he is a million, billion miles ahead of Coady. Justin is just a bomb scare that might be best served retiring and Vestegaard is Vestegaard.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is one of the most baffling things to me, getting rid of Cooper but keeping the coaching staff he was working with? That surely does nothing but hinder the new manager rather than help, which is clearly what he, and we, need. You can only assume it’s financial in terms of why he hasn’t gone and got his own people. We need some experience behind him is my instant thought, not Ben Dawson who exhibited his absolute tactical ineptitude against Brentford. Seeing him in RVNs ear for large parts doesn’t transmit confidence and positivity that we’re going in any different direction than through the ever looming trap door.

Some sense amongst a lot of (understandably so) emotional posts. Justin, Vestegaard and Coady in your back 4 is going to seriously limit what even the world’s very best manager is able to achieve.. that’s before we address Mr Ward in goal……

BDCR before Buona..? Brighton must be having him back.

Honestly I’m not sure how or why he is being persisted with. It’s almost at the point where if I’m JJ, it’s that torrid for me I’m feigning an injury or declaring myself not 100%. He needs his head sorting out because whatever is going on with him is clearly unsalvageable at this point. Get him out of the firing line FFS.

Oh my good lord. Fold the club.

Mavididi is horrid as well. Fatawu injury has absolutely buckled us.

With defending like that between Coady and Vestegaard there’s only one place we end up im afraid.

Jordan Ayew is absolutely BRAINDEAD

Despite us being absolutely Bob Bint (to the point where we appoint Steve Cooper as manager because he was ‘cheap’) and him being on 325 grand a week, that even before you mention he’s been dropped for having an absolutely appalling attitude, Marcus Rashford’s name keeps getting floated on here. He evidently can’t be arsed to try a leg on dickhead money for another new manager at a massive club like United, but coming to a side 17th in the table, without a pot to piss in to meet even 50% of his wages is within which realm of possibility?! Come on 😅 .. we’re more likely to get rid of Rudkin than this!

Cricket score incoming. Had to be Bruno who should be off, didn’t it..?

Oh my good god. Season over.

What do you mean, mate?

Completely agree mate. Bakayoko at PSV or Hadj Moussa at Feyenoord might be pipe dreams, but you’ve gotta pray, ain’t ya..?

Really, really close to being done with him. Gets in some really good positions and does his usual wave his foot over the top of the ball and pass it backwards. Hideous. Zero bottle to take a risk and try and beat his man.

If you call for Mavididi to start week in, week out.. let this be a case study as to why he doesn’t. Shockingly casual and, dare I say it, lazy. Have some purpose and beat your full back!!!

Has VAR even checked that?! 6 studs showing and over the ball? 😂

And there you go.. 🤢

Justin killing us defensively and when we get the ball and try to build something. 15+ passes, works its way out to Justin on the right and he just floats one aimlessly into a vacant channel and kills the move, sticking the pressure back on us instantly. He has to calm down.

Choudhury is an absolute disaster.

Looooooooong afternoon inbound for James Justin 🫣
