Dyche had to change this Holgate is struggling don’t know who else can play there though

Dwight with Gray ahead of him is the only somewhat logical change I can see.

 

[Milk]

Damage limitation now.

What a pity as we looked fine up to 35th minute.

 

[GoldenToffee]

One terrible minute lost us the game. Holgate admiring Haaland on the second goal, ffs. Can't do anything about that first one.

We've been destroyed on the wings.

 

[john jako]

Holgate has to go off, don’t care who for.

100% this. Think everyone in the world can see this

 

[Ducans elbow]

There passing is so slick, they never give the ball up

 

[DanB90]

Hoping we come out swinging after half time.
That last 10-15 minutes was disgraceful.

No bite in our game at all. Crowd understandably silent.

 

[magicjuan]

We should take Holgate off and send him to the moon.

Whatever the question is, Holgate is never, ever the answer.

 

[Baggzio]

Desperately need to not lose the run of ourselves here and keep the scoreline down. As it stands we’re on -23, Leeds on -25 and Leicester on -15 but with Liverpool and Newcastle to play.

Keep it down and it’s like an extra point to us, imperative at this end of the season when it’s so tight. Hopefully the other teams’s GD take a battering with their fixtures and ours at least remains the same if not gets better with a win in the last 2.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

That Gundogan goal was just insane. Not much you can do about someone settling the ball and volleying it after getting a smack in the back like that. Christ

 

[Fansince1988]

As soon as Vinagre got injured the season collapsed for us

I’d be tempted to play McNeil LB he can tackle and is quite quick, it takes him away from being up higher but needs must we can’t let this be a high score.

 

[Number_25]

I think we're going down to be honest, I didn't expect anything - and yet I am dissapointed.

Funny that.

 

[matty1878]

i feel sick. knowing they’re is two games left and we don’t do it

 

[allen]

Best hope now - and it’s a small one - is wholesale City changes at half time.

That second was such a kick in the nuts.

 

[Bebeto]

We score the next and you never know.

That's what happened against Leeds...I am sure Pep will make sure that his team don't end up defending at the later stage of the game

 

[diggerdestroyer]

It's really weird, if you watched last year's relegation rivals down the stretch, a lot of the goals given up by Burnley specifically came from Tarkowski being unable/unwilling to track runners or stay even with his back line, and here he just straight up ignores that Haaland is running straight down the middle while he is marking nobody else, but somehow the narrative is that somebody else is always at fault.

ya I don't think he even looked where the number one forward in the world was. its simple. the ball won't head itself. it needed haaland to head it ans he was the only one in there and unmarked by 2 blues
