Painful to observe currently — Metropolis dominate early then fade within the 2nd half. Protection shaky, new keeper saving us once more. Haaland seems to be remoted… wants an actual winger like Mahrez & a playmaker like KDB again to unlock him. ⚽💔

Scammed a win within the 2nd half play park the boat soccer. Pep Pulis at it once more. Though now you’re solely 2 factors behind Liverpool so after spending 460m in 2025 I make you joint favourites

@GodlyRH highlighted how the workforce did not create possibilities for the striker.
Haaland solely had 1 shot the complete sport, after he scored the workforce didn’t even attempt to discover him. Foden had 5 photographs, only one on the right track.
@Beeglobal99 This explicit Metropolis fan feared how the workforce would succeed with out the injured Rodri. He mentioned:
Pep constructed a one-man workforce. Metropolis with Rodri vs with out is miles aside.
It’s going to 2 yrs now, and Pep nonetheless can’t determine find out how to play with out Rodri, but he doesn’t wish to spend large on a dynamic #6.
Subsequent, he’s going to play unstable Kova there. We’re in hassle.
