We're bad at defending. That was worse

Congrats to him on his debut, pressed from the front.

Some terrible defending in general as per usual. Onana a poor pass and AWB too slow and not aggressive enough closing down the wide player result in the 2 goals. There was more bad defending and chances but we got away with them. Going forward some positives. Relationships between Bruno and...

Very well finished 2 goals from Wheatley, after that a few wasted chances on United attacks (not from him) City dominated the ball as you'd expect and by the end there was plenty of good defending that needed to be done. The goalkeeper Harrison was as important Wheatley with the goals. He saved...

Should be tough with City playing some of their players with plenty of u21 experience. Hopefully a win though

Thats the pass I was thinking of. Thanks for that

He played one nice switch to the left wing just into the 2nd half and it looked like he was going to actually improve and be decent that half. It went to hell after 72 mins when Mainoo came off and Coventry brought on Torp, Tavares and Binks. Today was one of lots of matches where McTominay...

Was he also told not to make any tackles or interceptions and not to do anything with the ball? Tell me so I can tell Ten Hag about that as well.

Not his call or responsibility. Not saying I would want it to be either, but he isnt the manager and cant do anything the manager disagrees with

His mobility is always an issue Making runs up front isnt helping midfield

Overall I'd agree but today I thought he was better than the past few matches defensively. For example in the first half he cleared the ball at the back post after Coventry put in a cross like Dalot's one for Mctominay's opener. If he doesnt do that its a goal. On top of that players freely run...

Made 0 tackles, 0 interceptions and 13 less passes than Mainoo when he came off in the 71st minute. He did have 1 dribble to Mainoo's 0 and he won 3 aerials Very nice run to convert an easy goal and then tried hard not to do anything for the next 97 minutes. Didnt compete for the ball on the...

Yikes. He did well making the run for the goal, then proceeded to look worse than Championship midfielders all game. He was nowhere near our better players Torp and O'Haire both played better than him

Is not, never has been and never will be a good enough DM. He's an AM or a CM in a midfield 3 like at Brentford. Doesnt work for the team enough for a position with defensive responsibility

I understand people wanted him to take players on and smash the ball in each time he got it but what he mostly did was successfully keep the ball and keep it moving which our players failed to do for most of that 2nd half other than him. It wasnt the best thing we could have got out of those...
