The problem is City are better than all the teams they have to play, and they will score more goals than us

If we had played like we did today in most of our games since Christmas the league would have been won by now

Felt we were having the better of it in the 10 minutes before the second goal but got caught up the pitch. Thought Martinelli came on to stifle O'Reilly but he was poor

At least we had chances and played better than for ages.Have to hope Saka and Timber come back and hit the ground running and see what happens.

Let's hope for the same final score 🙏

Mosquera is getting done every time by Doku, put White on before he's sent off. Otherwise we have looked more like a team than any time in the last few months

Havertz up front with Eze, Martinelli on the right Lewis-Skelly on the left no White and bring Dowman on if it doesn't work

He should play right-wing and mark O'Reilly when we don't have possession, he only plays because of his work-rate and his defending anyway

One answer I would like is why would Starmer appoint someone in the Epstein files as ambassador to a country whose President is in the Epstein files, did he think Mandelson had something on Trump?

Agreed. Odegaard Saka and Havertz have been either below par or injured for too much of this season and last, their back-ups Gyokeres Madueke and Eze haven't been good enough

I'd be more optimistic if we weren't playing like a relegation team

Didn't even have any intensity

The midfield couldn't play through them and the forwards couldn't hold the ball up

Madueke makes things happen but you never know what it's going to be

Nwaneri was one of our better players last season,why was he shipped out just to give Dowman his spot on the bench while Trossard and Martinelli do nothing

Gyokeres started like he was going to bully the City defence and then disappeared after 15 minutes

I never thought I would miss Mikel Merino

Mine has been hiding behind the sofa

Didn't play after 15 minutes, forwards not good enough, serious questions about Saka since his injury last season

Do any Iranians really believe Trump and Netanyahu care about them?

Kofane looked more of a handful than Gyokeres

Desperately need an in-form Odegaard and Havertz back. Maybe switch Saka left and give Madueke a run

Probably been our best forward but don't think that's saying much. Maybe missing an in-form Odegaard

In slow motion it might look soft but when you're traveling like Madueke was it doesn't take much. Hope I'm wrong but Saka looks to have lost a bit of power since his injury last season

Mosquera has looked decent when playing RB

Can't he play on the left?

After looking a great buy whenever he's played Mosquera looked shaky today and he wasn't fantastic against Brighton, let's hope he's not going to turn into Rob Holding just when it looks like we might need him

Will Martinelli play left-back? He seems to spend most of his time defending

Give him enough rope

Didn't put a foot wrong when moved to centre
