So how good was Son, Kane and Gio? Should we move them on too?
Pure whataboutery. Son was awful and should have been subbed, but there’s a difference between having a bad game and not being good enough. Kane and Gio were 2 of our better players (not saying a lot but still true)

Sorry but this team is so so far away from where we were what did anyone seriously expect?
Our fullbacks are nowhere near what they were.
Our centerbacks are nowhere near what they were.
Our midfield is nowhere near what it was.
We just arent anywhere near good enough to beat City or get top 4.
Cant blame Mason. Its a shit show out there.
Aurier giving away a brain dead freekick. How out of character. Not.
This squad needs a complete overhaul.
Kane will leave.
Gonna be a painful rebuild thats gonna take years.

That's a bloody shame and a knife through the heart that LaPorte got the winner.
Personally I wouldn't have taken Lucas off, unless he was suffering I thought he would always have been a problem.
After all that it was a set piece that did for us.

Yeah, I don't really give a shit. I didn't give us much of a chance to begin with. You can't run a club like Levy does and expect results on the pitch, not that he cares about the results on the pitch though.
But statistically we could still get 2nd:ROFLMAO:

Spectacularly awful performance.

Mason chose his mates today over players who could've influenced the game.
He had a tough call. I’d personally not like to blame mason - the last 18/19 months and levy’s appointment of Jose is why we lost; not Ryan

Lloris, Toby, Kane, Hojbjerg and Lucas can hold thier heads up high. Dier and Aurier probably did the best they could. Reggie had a bit of a shocker and I’m not sure Winks and Son were even playing?

They’re an exceptional team, incredible players and squad because of all their millions and one of if not the greatest managers of all time who is an absolute genius.

We had very little chance.

That being said bit disappointed that we only had 2 shots and that bale didn’t start. I know he’s very inexperienced etc but think Mason got that line-up/tactics a bit wrong as I’ve never seen us quite so dominated. Don’t think it would’ve been much better under Jose tbh but we will never know.

We are a mess of a club right now.

I thought our defence was absolutely outstanding(minus reggi who had a shocker), Hugo toby Dier aurier absolutely brilliant.

Really disappointing to lose with that goal at the end. Sissoko yet again. Really pleased with the defence today, but you have to say the subs were a mistake. Not going to join the laying into Mason though, don’t think he deserves that after being a manager for less than a week.

You're underestimating how good a team City are when they turn up.
No I'm not. They are very good. I know that. I saw a severe lack of effort again today though. I think it's been well established I don't like Winks but can anybody point me to anything at all he did in 90 minutes today. Seriously anything??

I rather we give it a proper go from the start and lose 5-0 then an cowardy selection(translated onto the pitch)

This is the WORST case scenario. Go out on a whimper.
