Find it hard to criticise a team which I'm the last two weeks has had to change manager, formation and style of play pretty much completely and playing the best team in the country while half the team and the better half at that are still on holiday. That being said after today we need to improve and quick.
The high line sarri wants to play does not suit the defenders we have except for maybe Rudiger due to his pace. When the rest of them get into trouble were done. I think until sarri can sign some players to suit that system he needs to find a happy medium.
Jorginho needs to realise very quickly that he's not in Italy. I'm more than happy for every move to start through him but he needs to be quick about it because in general premier league players are quick, strong and love to chase whoever has the ball.
Hudson odoi is a massive talent but what makes him good is he's not scared to give things a go and believes in his talent, today I thought he froze a little bit. Whether it was trying too much to impress or the fact Kyle walker is like a 100 meter sprinter I don't know.
The less said about morata the better, change of number but no change in how he performs
Not going to jump to too many conclusions but we need our best players back asap and to get to grips with sarris system.
Long way to go

Another AVB season coming, we've never suited this high line and pressing football.
We don't have the players for it. Only Kante has got legs in midfield, Jorginho got a lesson today. Our back 4 are pretty slow barring Rudiger but he's full of mistakes (both goals his fault).
Our wingers don't track opposition full backs, Mendy had the freedom of the left hand side.
We should stick to the bus, it's what we do best.

Actually thought you looked much improved today

Ffs it's not even a competitive game with half the team out and 1 month of new system. Give it some time...

Kante is going to make a huge difference to us. Unsurprisingly he is our key player.
Other thing to note is Man City aren't afraid of us unless we have Hazard looming

It's time the bus was left in the garage, I was sick of it last season and want to see Sarri change the philosophy of the team.
It may take time but it needs to happen before City, Liverpool and the $puds get even further ahead of us!

We were very poor. I understand the system will take time but we didn't create any chances at all from I can remember, Both of cities goals they ran though our midfield like they weren't there.
Fabregas And Morata are done.
