OK - we'll throw in the absolute lifeless performances against Chelsea before them as well then...

Awful first half - quarter of an hour threatening start of the second - chances missed and then giving Burnley free kicks to swing it it - their only tactic for scoring. More missed chances. pedestrian side to side and trying to walk it in. Too many average players not busting a gut, like Burnley's average players did.

Decent second half apart from the final ball. Kulu had 5 chances to put in a decent ball and fluffed it every time, though I suspect he won't get anywhere as much criticism as Emerson. Romero also giving up another mistake. Add that to his City penalty and poor performances against Southampton and Wolves and we have to pump the brakes a little on calling him world class. He does a lot of great things, but undoes them far too often. I'm sure he'll improve but right now, it's still Dier who is Mr. Reliable.

What’s your basis for any optimism about the Leeds game? They’ll be desperate for points and our recent form - in which the City game is a clear outlier - shows that this group is unbalanced and ineffective. Tonight’s result is completely unacceptable even if taken in isolation. On the back of the last 4 games it’s even more so. This group lacks both the talent and the mentality to achieve anything. If Leeds - who are a depleted mess - just want it more than us on Saturday they’ll beat us.

That’s simply embarrassing from our club.

Agree. That was nothing like the Southampton or Wolves games. I thought we played ok

It's grim stuff I just don't see us improving enough next season to do much.
We will probably bring in 3/4 when in reality we need double that, still at least we made the arsenal and west ham fans laugh as usual.

The only explanation I can see for the state of us is that we are just a bunch of bloody attention seekers. Win or lose we just have to grab the headlines somehow. Beat the league leaders, last minute goals and drama or lose to fucking relegation fodder.. FML

I try to be rationale minded. But I'm sick of seeing Harry Winks play. He has some passing ability but seems to insist on playing 5 yards passes between him and the defenders. We needed incisive quick passing. I can only assume he likes to kick back at the end of the gaming and toss himself off to the pass completion stats.

Tottenham in ‘midweek away game tepid display’ shocker. Frankly a bit boring now. Well done Burnley.

…..but the summer is going to be massive, it’s all about next season.
not a chance in hell IMO. We’d have to shift/replace 6 or 7 players and that’s not going to happen.
I’m so deflated at the moment and see very little progress.

Out fought and out thought, again.
It seems we need to either be exceptional, or do something exceptional, to get a result this season. It's either playing out of our skins against Liverpool and City, or scoring last minute winners against Leicester, Watford or City.
If we're even 10% down on our absolute best, or don't come up with some miraculous goal, we lose. Against anyone.

I'm not even angry... I kind of expected this could happen... and it's why we need more quality players. Quality players win games on bad days as well... and are not so inconsistent.
