Do you think peoples frustration with Brendan has begun today at Man City? Or have you just started watching us 

 

 

I've been watching since 89.

 

So have lots of experience being frustrated with City.

 

Anyone what side would you have picked today?

Just gave my son a Brand new City Kit for his Xmas present with Tielemans printed on the back. He’s still sleeping so best I don’t tell him this game is even being played! He will never know shhhh....

Best not tell him that Tielemens will be at another club soon either.

What would you have done differently, with Liverpool in 2 days time too? 

We know we're gonna lose both. Just set up to keep it respectable. To sit tight. We've gone and been as open as you possible can be. It's the easiest game they'll have all season. 

[GorlestonFox]

Thank **** the streams dead.

[oxtonfox]

What's our record defeat? Ah 12-0 against Forest. There's a small chance that could happen...

I'm not emotional at all.

 

I am realistic, I expected it to be a hammering today with the players that are available at the back.

Not much different given we have clearly prioritised Tues 

would think hamza isn’t fit enough to start or he would be playing 

(unless Brendan is saving him for a special mission on Tuesday evening) 

[cruzFOX]

A concellation goal will be nice atleast it won’t be a complete mauling 

[bovril]

I'd probably take 7 right now

There's a difference between being hammered and embarrassed. I want to see some real fight and professional pride from now until the end.

Very true.

[Simoken]

Those blaming BR need to look at our growing list of key players missing.

[Biggus]

The Longest Day is on the other side.  I think it will be shorter than this one!

Wtf do you expect him to do? Magic a new CB into the team? All you guys moaning about BR to do something, perhaps maybe suggest an option he could take? 

Don't set us up so ****ing open for a start. Are you actually suggesting there's nothing he could have done to try and keep it a bit tighter? Because I refuse to believe you think he's done his best here. If he has. Well that's just depressing.

Not sign dogshit like vestergard

[justfoxes]

This is the type of performance where we need our captain in the middle of the park shouting the orders picking up players that are down not a captain being a keeper at the back !

[Merging Cultures]

Keep it down KDH.

 

He's been one of our better players though.

I think this simply shows Brendan’s glaring weakness as a coach, and it’s one of the main reasons we’re so shocking when the going gets tough.

 

We needs a manager who’s a bit nasty, and savvy. We’ve only ever seen patches under Brendan, the consistency just isn’t there, and he can’t handle the team when there’s injuries. 
 

I’d be shocked if he’s in post by the end of January.

 

Liverpool will be even worse than this, let’s just hope and pray that game gets binned.  

What other defence could he field today?

In fairness, I would have taken fat Dave in row B over Vestergaard

What WILL he carry the can for? 

 

 

[David Hankey]

Is it still classed as the season of goodwill, or does it end after Tuesday?

[UniFox21]

Should be hitting the target

[daddylonglegs]

It’s a really really bad XI that we’ve picked against Manchester City’s first team. 
 

a couple of avoidable goals but they’re at least 4 goals per half better than us.

 

We’ve also done OK! 

[The Year Of The Fox]

At least we’ve gone back to man marking on corners now

 

Shame we’re man marking our own players though
