We ****ed it Vs Everton and Brentford.
Everton AND Brentford.
Everton AND Brentford.
Every title winning team has a blip, just beat City and get back on track.
Jesus isn't starting until middle of next month if we're lucky. Smith Rowe isn't going to come in and hit the ground running either. Nelson I'm not even considering right now. We can't rely on any of them for the next 4-5 games. Solution has to come from what we have right now.Let rivals and pundits get giddy, its probably their last chance to do so.
We have problems yes, our creativity in tight areas suffers but as we saw with our goal today, we are still able to poke holes in deep blocks and attack the space effectively. The return of Jesus, Smith Rowe, Nelson, gives us more creativity in those tight spaces, and breathes new life into Martinelli and Eddie. So we'll be back.
Where we need to work is on dead ball situations. Both goals conceded in the last two league games are not good enough.

I mean, we've played two bad games? catalyst for what? City lost vs Brentford, we did better than they did.The worry is, in hindsight, is that City defeat in the cup seems like it may have been the catalyst for this. It reminds me of 2008 and 2010 where cup defeats seemed to coincide with our poor form when we were competing.

Looking at the last 5 games, none of the current top 5 are in flying form at the moment exactly. Let's hope Don Unai can do us a favor tomorrow.
We are not allowed to voice such opinions here without getting called "toddlers", "doom merchants", "morally superior" etc.You could say it’s unlucky we’ve come up against two very good performances in a row from Everton and Brentford, especially their defensive performances, but it’s the PL and you gotta deal with that. 1 point from 6 is disappointing, doesn’t matter how you cut it.
I think if we beat City then that will certainly return some belief and momentum, which we’ve definitely lost. Two losses and a draw in 3 games is objectively poor form.
Lose to City and it would be reasonable to say it’s slipping through our fingers, only the really optimistic people would think otherwise.
You’ve been negative as **** even when we were beating Sp**s and United.We are not allowed to voice such opinions here without getting called "toddlers", "doom merchants", "morally superior" etc.

Negative against United maybe when we bottled a lead and bailed out with a last minute win but not against Sp*rs. I've only called out bad performances straight without sugarcoating it.You’ve been negative as **** even when we were beating Sp**s and United.
Nice to see you as Mr Positivity.
It's nearly like you having an opinion!
I just don’t understand why a two game blip weighs more than 19 games of being by far the best team in the country. There’s always a period in the season where you struggle a bit, even Man City nearly blew a 14 point lead over Liverpool.Nice to see you being Mr Positivity.
