Wtf was that throw in routine....

We are being run ragged in our own backyard by Brighton.

We are funnily bad, really really bad...

Social distancing defending perhaps....?

Two very poor football teams. Fair scoreline, but we are no better than them.

Absolutely comedic.... ffs

We still look very dodgy at the back

Good take

How much time did they have on the edge of the box to get the original shot away...

Shame, plucky. 🤣🤣

It was only 5 - 2.... its that where we're at now? Thought we played well first and last 15 minutes, but the hour in between was bloody abject in so many areas. Our defending was not only physically weak, but we were all over the place for most of the goals. No strength or desire to get a block in, their third was awful, we just let them through without so much as a tackle or block. Thought we looked much better when Diallo came on, but City were in cruise control by then. Shipping 5 maybe seen as respectibility by some, but as others have said, other teams have held City to much lower scores. The only positives that I will take from this is if we get 3 points from Brighton at the weekend - nothing less will do.

FFS, is that our bar now, really? How low can we get.

I think we can see why Salisu didn't make his debut for a long, long time.

They've just given up haven't they. My football team has actually just given up...

We've folded again. This lot really are embarrassing

Strategy, what fucking strategy.

We ain't getting a touch this half, it's their ball and their keeping it.

We do. Physically we are weak, as the third goal showed. Mentally, as you will probably see in the second half we are shot to peices.

Time to switch off, players walking on the edge of our own box. Another tonking coming up unless Ralph sorts this out. Defend like fuck, get out at 3 with some confidence and respect intact and move on. Really can't be done with another embarrasment.

I was thinking the same. They haven't played badly but generally just failed to finish good chances. We could be in for a drubbing. Hope our bus is big enough.

Not often you see KDB having a 'mare..

That is the salient part of your post unfortunately. I'm a big fan, was there at West Brom and was there at Wembley, like watching two different players.

Have just looked at Fulhams remaining games and their run in is brutal, I really can't see them getting more than 10 points between now and the end of the season (that's having them down to beat us as well). West Broms last games are slightly easier but only marginally so. I don't think there's enough winnable games for either to survive. Gonna be a low bar this year.

Free hit..... but we need respectability as a bare minimum. If we're not going to get anything from the game, let's make sure that we don't collapse and ship another hat full of goals. KISS concept - get out with credibility in tact and move on.

Got the job done, wouldn't go overboard about the performance though. They are absolutely awful so no barometer at all to measure premiere league quality. Massive 3 points though, gives us breathing space.
