I think Cedders ripped himself in a rush to take it off for Aguero to sign it.

Be off with you to Leganes or wherever...

Lol @ commentator, “first club to concede 4 first half goals since...”. I was expecting something like 1995 o4 whatever and he ended with “...February”.

I would bet against it. Total shower, the trolls on here. Not premier league standard at all. Lex out!

So does this demoralize us further for the visit of Watford or will there be some sort of backlash?

Oh dear. All the time and space in the world. Awful really, really poor.

We’re so poor, even the trolling by the usual suspects is poor. Poor club, top to bottom.

No yellow for that blatant dive?

Yep. We haven’t seen him since.

Doesn’t mind making us angry every week by not scoring but woe betide upsetting little City.

Sportsnet doing a tribute. They read out a tribute written by Kasper Schmeichal. Incredible how involved the chairman was, how he put belief into the players, was friends with the players, showed them his ambition and lifted them up. Then you have Gao, I’d bet he doesn’t even know the way to our dressing room.

Bournemouth channeling their inner Saint, just lost in stoppage time.

Still only 24? Free kick specialist, but how many has he actually scored? 2? Beattie and Lambert’s bagged plenty of free kicks and were never lauded about their free kick ability.

No point bringing him in to fail vs City and then be told he’s not ready. Needs to come in vs Watford and Fulham. Last season he got 8 minutes vs Spurs and wasn’t seen again.

That’s a standard tactic to unsettle the team. It’s like the opposite of saying we’re **** and firing us up.

Rashford just missed a sitter going for power when a tap in would have done it.

Knowing Saints we’ll lose in the cruelest way possible. Something like: we hold them at bay for 95 minutes and then win a penalty, score it, it gets ordered to be retaken (encroachment), miss it, they break up the field and score. With a 6-0 you can just shrug and move on but those two last kick winners for them last year really twisted the knife.

Or Dean Wilkins

Forster Cedric Jakobsson Hoedt Todd Davis Romeu McCann Groves Long Austin

I know we joke about it but if that was St Mary's or we'd (or another smaller club) delayed a ground move like that, they'd have thrown the book at us.

Moi should watch the clip of City's opener. That's how you get your head up and pass to a teammate for an easy goal.

McCarthy, Gunn, Bertrand (although shouldn't be captain), Stephens (I think he can improve with time), Yoshida, Lemina, Hojbjerg, Ings, Redmond, Gabbiadini. Not seen enough of Verstergaard or Armstrong to know. The ones that worry me a lot when they are on the field are: Austin, Long, Romeu, Davis. The rest are a bit meh (JWP, Moi, Cedric, Hoedt etc.)

As expected the League Cup match vs Saints has been postponed. RIP those involved and thoughts to the families.

We ain’t scoring vs City so next up is Watford to avoid 7 league games without a goal. Not confident at all, this could go to 10+.

That chance couldn’t have been more “on a plate” for him. Glenn Murray finished from a much more difficult angle on Saturday. Long isn’t fit to clean Murray’s boots, neither is Austin, they need a prolonged walk of a short pier.
