they are so shaky at the back and we lack composure with the final ball

Just gave a glowing report of our game on Sky Sports news (not).

I'm feeling sorry for Sykes. Every ball that's fed to him comes at the pace of a high speed train and the accuracy of a blindfolded archery contest. He's got so much work to do just to control the ball it's no wonder he can't then do a lot with it.

As you say that another awful attempted pass by TGH to Sykes sails into touch..

[Lew-T]

Quality so poor tonight.

[UpTheReds]

Our long balls have been very poor today, mostly going straight off the pitch.

[Lordofthebling]

Keep it simple. Plenty of time ffs

[Curr Avon]

Bell and James on...

Williams and Sykes off 

 

[Andy082005]

Would take a point now. We are just lacking that quality in the final third we could be here all night and we won’t get a chance to score

He must be under orders to pass back every time.

Is it his lack of left foot that means he can’t come inside as an option or to create an angle. So can only go down the line, which is too high risk if we are not playing with pace so always takes the safe pass backwards. It just takes us back to square one every time

[Ska Junkie]

We've lost our way a tad since ht.

[MelksRed]

Great strength from Pring.

[1team]

West Ham must be shitting themselves!

[bcfc01]

Williams off instead of TGH.

James on.

Understandable, but makes us a bit weaker imo.

We've lost all shape, very scrappy.

Yes one of them games , old saying if you can’t win don’t fxxking lose , massive chance missed though if we don’t take 3 points , I honestly thought Brum wouldn’t be as bad as this ( though we’re not great tonight ) I thought Rooney would have read the riot act and they would be up and at us 

[pillred]

Just once could City surprise me and not do exactly what most of us expected tonight.

That was a really smart pass from Knight

[old_eastender]

Weimann just wide from inventive ball by Knight.

Who is this agonisingly boring Jock on Robins TV

[Ska Junkie]

Unlucky Andi, great ball from Knight.

[Leabrook]

Weimann misses the ball. Deary me

Same as Liverpool we’re and Man Utd

[MelksRed]

Great ball skill by Bell to get passed the left back. Great cross...

Did Weimann even touch that? Good chance that should have at least been a corner.

[Ska Junkie]

Hull and Cov winning now, down to 9th.

[Leabrook]

No away point is a bad point 

[Porto Red]

Pring's double tackle and Bell's nutmeg the highlights. The only ones, too.

Are you asking for what's his story?

As they say you an only influence the match you are playing. 
Let’s have a goal, City - please.  I promise to eat all the remaining sprouts if you do
