Is it me or did Brentford look fitter?
I didn’t think it was too bad considering the team we had to put together. Things will improve.
A lot of doom merchants on here. Couldn't go today so had to listen on 5-live. Their take was two good sides battling it out and could have gone either way - an enjoyable game, which fizzled out towards the end. I think we have allowed the 'let's challenge the top six' mantra get to us. Top ten? Maybe. Right direction? Definitely. Shit performance? Not from what I was hearing. I may stand corrected after watching the re-run, but for now we have lots to look forward to.
Supporting Villa is like reliving Groundhog Day on repeat. Another 2 points wasted. We’re a billion miles away from the top 6 on the evidence, injuries or no injuries. What’s our style of play? What’s our identify? Another afternoon of my life wasted.
Today’s results epitomize why Jack left. City stroll to a 5-0 drubbing of Arsenal while we labour to a 1 -1 draw v Brentford.
