I wish it was averageOur central midfield is simply average. Not sure why Winks was brought on but watch Harry having to come deep to create. It’s always been an issue for years.
Average would be a step up from the crap we have

At times yes. Nowhere near consistent enough though. Burnley were always going to be a harder than people give them credit for. You need a goal to force them to open up.We were never getting a result once they scored, we don't have that creative player to unlock Burnley's 2 blocks of 4.You think we played well ????
It's to do BOTH.Wow so you've never played - the role of a back is to defend. The wing back gets more of an option to go forward when we have the ball, generally with the idea when we loose the ball he gets the fck back to defend. Whether they are shit or not is irrelevant they are both fn full backs by trade.
Winks came on because Bentancur hurt himself. It looked bad to me, so be afraid.Our central midfield is simply average. Not sure why Winks was brought on but watch Harry having to come deep to create. It’s always been an issue for years.
I'm with you - the score is masking a lot, it was actually a decent game of football with both teams trying to win the game.At times yes. Nowhere near consistent enough though. Burnley were always going to be a harder than people give them credit for.

So maybe "played well" was over egging it a bit ,but against another more open side,we would have got a result.Not good enough i know. But despite their league position, Burnley are not as easy to beat as many thought. They get a lot of draws.
Winks didn’t come on at HT and City play a totally different systemSame players beat city though?
Like your misses really. Tough beat. Keep that head up bro. Cheers
The weather in London this morning reflects my mood perfectly...
DISGUSTING!
Any excuse to post....
Still possible which is pissing me of even more I think LOLI think it might be time for us to say bye bye 4th place. L W L L L <<< last 5 results in PL.
We don't have the mentality.Still possible which is pissing me of even more I think LOL
It’s not mentality - it’s being riddled with inconsistent, championship level frauds like PEH, Royal, Winks, Sanchez, Sess etcWe don't have the mentality.

Can't find on google.

Fake, faux footballers
No i dont rate Moura or Hojbjerg. I'd sell both in the summer if we can. Skipp i like but its his first full season. The 2 new signings have just shown up and its too early to judge. Romero seems decent but is obviously weak in the air. Our squad outside of the front 2 is no better than Wolves or Villa.
And? They are inconsistent. Consistency is the big differentiator between players at different levels…..Those exact same players beat City, twice, drew with Liverpool and should have won, went 9 games unbeaten initially. Their biggest problem is not being able to perform week in week out.
Edit - and the wing back positions yesterday were both the worst i've seen all season. They seemed worryingly reluctant t get forward and affect the game
Take WH and Arse's 2 best players and we're discussing a similar drop off...... See Kidderminster or Forest games.
How far do Wolves or Villa drop in the table if you take away their best 2?
Their 11 is strong as a unit. We are the opposite, they binned their frauds such as Mari, Chambers, PEH, Kolasinic, holding and the German keeper. We still have five or so frauds polluting our 11West Ham maybe ... and if that's the bar then we are in a horrible situation.
Woolwich without their 2 best players (Who are these? They have an all round pretty strong team.) would whip our side without Kane and Son.
