Not as good as we think we are really... 

Man for man we’re not as good as Man City or Liverpool, I think we’d all acknowledge that. 

If we can be the best of the rest by the end of the season that would still be an incredible achievement.

Tactics or mentality? This happens too often to be a coincidence.

Both, on this occasion.

caglar bocks it with his appendage

Evans our MoM today

[TeamRocket]

We need a plan B

[Fightforever]

Mentally something isn't right when we play the top sides. Think about it. you aren't seeing soyuncu doing his cruyff turns today.

We respect them far too much.

Tielemans isn't good enough off the ball for us to play him against the likes of man city.

Choudhury should have played

[bfox]

Like a rabbit caught in headlights, man citys movement too good and made us second guess any intuition and think too much on the ball

[ARTY_FOX]

Let's be honest. We haven't turned up to play football. We haven't even tried to play. 

[lcfcell]

This has been coming for a while. We’ve looked shocking defensively for a few games now. Oh and we don’t have a premier league level winger at the club

In context they've scored a huge deflection, a soft penalty and then a good team goal. 

 

We should've scored or had a penalty and the games tied potentially.

Exactly this, these two games wont define our season.

Have the been better than us?

 

Obviously.

 

Would the scoreline be the same if VAR was actually competent?

 

Obviously not. 

This is the most frustrating thing. Matches are won on goals not chances. No doubt media will brush it under the carpet but had those calls been for Man City, there'd be a whole Monday Night Football special on it

Bullcrack, the way they exposed chilwell, the poor display by Perez and Reilly, are on in Brendan's control

Our players aren't making simple five yard passes. Everybody but vardy looks shit scared. Man city are playing in top gear. The tactics are irrelevant.

Chilwell has turned into a proper jelly

 

[The Guvnor]

At last youri off

[Tom12345]

Vardy is really a few levels higher than the rest. Only spark at the moment

[UniFox21]

Big difference is players like KDB who is absolutely ridiculous

It's nothing to do with Brendan. They're just too good today.

They've been excellent but Brendan got it (and kept it) badly wrong tonight. 

[trabuch]

The annoying thing is their defense looks so poor but we've barely been in their half. Look dangerous when we are.

[surrifox]

They’ve been much more combative in the challenges and looked really up for it . If we’re suffering a bit of a lull hopefully we’ll be able to stay in touch of the top of the table

Best player in the league in all fairness. 

[FLAN]

Sub 45 mins too late 

[Tom12345]

Yes. Tielemans should be off.

We tried that earlier in the season and were equally diabolical.
