2 things from today

[Cirrus_Minor]

1. I was not going to watch match of the day

2. The lucky underpants only lasted for one game.

[Andreshotboots]

1. We have become soft with no aggression in the team at all to get at superior opposition.
2. Ben Mee can't blame another 5 0 hammering on an aeroplane this time..

[ElectroClaret]

3. We were beaten before we got off the bus.

[COBBLE]

We have a manager who is tactically inflexible.

[boatshed bill]

It's never the manager's fault.

[bfcjg]

1, I listened to the game on the radio
2, radios now on Ebay.

[tiger76]

At least our annual 5-0 drubbing came early this year, now hopefully we can crack on with the rest of the season, and put today behind us.

That’s the spirit - just need to get everyone pulling in the same direction now...

[bfcjg]

1, For a while I had a bizarre idea that Dyche was getting paid to lower the value of the club to help his new bosses out
2, My psychiatrist thinks I am not mad

[Shaggy]

Try wearing no underpants... might be luckier.

2. Ben Mee can't blame another 5 0 hammering on an aeroplane this time..

He didn’t do that last time.

[RammyClaret61]

Man City have spent multi millions, we’ve spent 3 quid, and apparently absolutely sh1te.
Yet they could still only score 5.

[jojomk1]

1. As the fourth goal went in I was thinking "well at least I have the T20 to look forward to on Sun

2. As the fifth goal went in I was thinking "how does so much fluff get into my navel ?"

Amazingly, Mike Garlick was having the same thoughts at the same time

[MACCA]

1. You cant go to Man City with a squad of 14 fit senior pros with 2 that cant really be classed as premier league players and expect anything but a thumping.

2. If you did expect a result, you're deluded.

[timshorts]

1. You cant go to Man City with a squad of 14 fit senior pros with 2 that cant really be classed as premier league players and play three strikers when there are less reckless options available such as starting with Pieters in midfield and expect anything but a thumping.

2. That sort of thing just before the transfer window usually works with Mike Ashley and makes him spend a bit.

[MACCA]

2. That sort of thing just before the transfer window usually works with Mike Ashley and makes him spend a bit.

You mean the worlds worst chairman who has only spent on average around 50m per season over the last 5 or 6 seasons?
He has truely neglected the team, he must just be a businessman who's main aim is to make money out of the club

Least we have a true supporter in charge here, who wouldn't do anything like that.

[Dark Cloud]

1. One season City away will be the final game of the season and that will be even worse.
2. Pundits can purr all they want about how amazing City are, but at least 4 of those goals were absolute gifts and would have been exactly the same to any PL team.

[northeastclaret]

1. As we have seen several times this season school boy defending
With a total lack of thought and concentration leads to defeat whoever you are playing

2.Matt Lowton is a total liability every game Charlie Taylor only today

[Local cricketer]

1) season tickets have been frozen
2) the orient game

Sorry couldn't resist

That's not fair, you need to add AGAIN to emphasize the magnitude of that gesture.

Also the orient game is so 2017, we have moved on to "the next Bolton or Bury" now.

[Steve1956]

I was thinking a spell in the Championship is looking likely,then I thought at least our hardcore 15,000 support will actually beable to watch us win a few games and the team will actually do what they are meant to do and provide us with entertainment ,because it really is starting to wear a bit thin getting tubbed & humiliated every other week.

[Leisure]

,because it really is starting to wear a bit thin getting tubbed & humiliated every other week.

Really!

It would be even worse though to be tubbed by Rotherham rather than man city

[Steve1956]

Really!

Really.

[Steve1956]

Leisure did you enjoy yesterday...I'd like to see us go on an 18 game unbeaten run,having a striker score 20+ goals and have a bit of enjoyment at a game watching us is becoming a chore,look how Leeds played yesterday and then compare it to us,what we are serving up is not entertainment its torture...I love my club but come on enough is enough.

[rufus lumley]

Poor comeback...he had you hook line and sinker there fella

[Wile E Coyote]

1) I ate beans on toast.

2) city scoring 5 against us is becoming an annual tradition, gives one a sense of normality in an ever changing world. well done city.

[Bosscat]

[Bosscat]

1, A load said we would get beaten 5-0 pre kick-off on here

2, A load throw the toys out of the pram on here because we get beaten 5-0

In a recent study by google...

Teenage boys who brag about their sex lives on internet forums have an over developed forearm due to the regular bishop bashing and a non existent sex life outside their own heads ...

You have been tangoed sonny live with it ... you were completely mashed ... hook line and well timed sinker ... and your post above proves it 150%

Steve - No, I certainly didn't enjoy it! But what exactly does 'enough is enough' mean? I've certainly seen us play far worse than that against far worse teams than City. We make mistakes most games but most teams aren't as ruthless as City so the mistakes aren't as costly. I'm a 'glass half full' person and always try to take some positives from a game, even from such a poor performance, so 1) Benson didn't look out of place on his debut, 2) Dwight at least managed to make a couple of forward runs and got a decent cross in, and 3) we don't have to play City away again this season.

Cannot agree more Leisure ... and your final 3 points

1) Benson didn't look out of place on his debut,
2) Dwight at least managed to make a couple of forward runs and got a decent cross in, and
3) we don't have to play City away again this season.

Are absolutely spot on

The team needs freshening up it's gone stale,we need some fresh faces ...not ones like Stephen's....proper signings our club is in a fight this season to stay in this league...I dont want us to but we are going to get relegated if we go with this squad after the January transfer window, I started a thread about how well Benson did sadly when the tired old faces are fit,he will be discarded,I dont know what goes on behind the scenes but the club isn't right at the mo,maybe time for new owners & a new manager eh?

Agree that we need new faces but even if there is money available in January, if we are still in the bottom 4 by then
I can't see there being a queue of better players than what we have, waiting to join us (but I truly hope that I'm wrong!). Maybe the promising debut from Benson will encourage the manager to be a little more adventurous with his selections. UTC

Sorry macca I really need to pay more attention

[Colburn_Claret]

A total lack of commitment.

I liken it to not playing your shots at cricket. It just allows the opposition to put 8 men around the ball. They can bowl anything they like, because they know you aren't going to do anything.

When we get the ball, players are so frightened of being caught out of position on the counter, that they lack the commitment to attack and get bodies forward. We might not get caught out of position, but we face constant wave of attack after attack because of it. Sooner or later they are bound to score.
All the teams that are successful against City show that commitment, no matter their league standing. They play with a courage we, or SD lacks.
Don't get me wrong, we could have shown commitment and lost 5-0 anyway, or worse, but at least we would have given ourselves a chance. Yesterday we gave ourselves nothing to take from the game.

[MACCA]

Sorry macca I really need to pay more attention

Apology accepted, but dont be paying more attention just yet, it's still painful viewing.
