Var should never have come in, should be scrapped immediately. It won’t be sadly. 

Disappointed no club statement from city coming out against this like many others 

They should ban replays from R5. Or give clubs the option to agree before the game (ie not to replay). To ban all from R1 onwards is mental but I’m not surprised as football is run by the few at the top but sadly not for the many. 

Slight off topic (as he only played for us in L1?) but didn’t Colin Cramb score in the top English and Scottish leagues…

375-1 at Betfair - always use oddschecker. Not that we will go down this season…we will stay up on goal difference…

Wood of the king now….

Way way way too early for a sacking. No idea why this is even a question. You can see a lot of good things especially when we play better sides but clearly the results against the poorer sides are a concern.

Still very early doors for him - if we were 10 games into next season and we were still as inconsistent then I think we'd probably be fair in asking the question.

Ultimately the board have said we have a top 6 squad (when we don't). If they provide a top 6 squad then you could rightly ask why we weren't top 6. We are mid-table as they come and that is reflected in the squad.

Personally I don't really like the bloke as it sounds like I'm listening to an AI robot or something and I preferred Nige (and could see what he was building). But yeh far too early.

As I always say, they should scrap it. But they will persist. 

Best and only half decent thing about him is his long throw. He has been poor and doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

Where?

We’ve seen about 2 glimpses of it since he arrived - very poor overall and looks like a league 1 player to me. 

Tanner, Weimann, Mehmeti and Cornick all not good enough. Squad needs proper investment now.

OK Vyner messed up but at least he has improved over past 18 months.

We are so mid table - no idea where board get thought that this is top 6 squad 

Sheff Wed and Rotherham yes - 3rd spot could be any one of about 5 teams.

Feel for the fans that made the trip, hard to say which was worse the players lack of pride or the not fit for purpose man in the middle - can’t call him a ref because he was utter rubbish

To be fair, as one of those travelling fans, I’m not really there for the football. Build caps, great time in a cheap drinking city etc. Nothing on the game so hard to worry too much - we’ve turned up when required in this group.

How are you guys getting tickets? How many caps do you have?

Ive been unsuccessful in every ballot so far 

I’m on 36 caps so snuck into the cut off as I was on 32 at time.

Keep going to every home game and applying though / I got Bulgaria and Germany in ballot against the odds and then once you get to those kinds of games you’ll move right up.

Are you going on Monday ? If so I’ll try and catch you for a drink and chat 

How are we all getting there? I’ve had a fair few flights cancelled but doing it via 5 flights

Far from the worse player on the pitch for me, awful game but 3 points and we’re already through

Maybe so on the night but it’s about what he adds long term for the squad v a JWP who would be genuinely good backup. 

Terrible game but expected as nothing on it and joke formation first half.

No idea why JWP not in squad and Henderson continues to play 

I don’t think it was deliberate by a few - just stupid. Give benefit of the doubt but yeh not a great look.

I don't know he feels like he's a goal away from being sensational.  I really love watching him in our shirt he's going to be a fantastic player regardless of if he finds goals or not he could just drop back onto one of the wings.

I don’t see it myself - but then I didn’t see it with Bolasie who similarly had no idea what he was doing (as did the defenders). Just think he needs that experience that a Semenyo got.

I’m not sure it’s doing all of them any good. I think Yeboah will be good but in all honest he isn’t up to chanpionship standard right now. Might be like Semenyo in a couple of years but needs that time out on loan in league 2 or something

Why did he looked so bemused at being subbed and pearson tell him to sit next to him whilst he tried to sulk to the back of the dugout? All seems a bit odd

He was injured 

We’ve got Jude, Kane, Saka, Foden, Stones, Rice. Would say those walk into most international teams. 

Not a bad set of players around them with Walker, Trippier, Shaw, James, Maddison. Rashford sadly out of form but he can be decent. 

In all honesty, all we miss is another decent CB and a manager to make decent tactical decisions in the big games.

What was everyone expecting? Joke team put out against a half decent side (they beat Tunisia and Denmark 1-0 at the WC plus put up against a good fight against Argentina). The proper game is Tuesday. 

So many things wrong about his decision I don’t know where to start. FIFA so corrupt.
