Too easy

There is just no excuse for that. Not at any level.

Chambers needs to be replaced. He’s not capable of doing better, as has been proved over and over.

Jesus wept. Are these players trying to get Arteta the sack??

Who mentioned 8-2?

If you thought that our defending was bad, well it just got a whole lot worse.

Nah, think that's it for me today. Players don't even look like they want to be there, so why bother.

Our central defenders are pathetic. Where do we find these twats

These players are embarrassing the great name of the club.

Chambers acting like a big baby and abdicating responsibility.

And 2 nil ....

Might be another 6 nil game ...

Bring back Tony Adams. He’d still do a better job than these clowns.

What's on HGTV? Oh, 'Love it or List it'. I like that show.

I’d do better than these knobheads

City haven’t even needed to do anything to score two goals that any half decent pub team would have dealt with.

Ramsdale will be watching and thinking oh great another season behind a useless comedy defence.

Chambers is physically too weak as a central defender

Well that sums up our luck at the moment

More comedy defending. By their keeper. Should have been 2-1.

No. He’s mentally too weak.

Bolton, Schalke 04 and Southampton. I suppose Kolasinac has more of an excuse than the others as he’s a left back, not a central defender.

City is playing against us the way we played West Brom the other night.

It's like we've had a player sent off.

Inconsistent officiating again.

We’re rubbish enough without that.

I do wonder if your just better off scrapping the 3 defenders in exchange for an extra midfielder. None of them can defend anyway

I don’t want to do a Rich but Kolasinac was booked for an ‘offence’ that wasn’t even a foul. Doesn’t really matter much though.

Clear holding of Emile Smith Rowe in front of referee. And he gives nothing.

There was an enormous gulf in quality between us and that West Brom U23 side, but at least they came out fighting. We just gave this to City. Politely, like we don't want to get in the way of them collecting their three points.

That was the one that provoked my comment. Ridiculous and inconsistent. The day is annoying enough without that.

Wouldn't want to upset anyone at Etihad Stadium though now, would we ?

Xhaka.

Again.

Goodbye Xhaka. Never seen you do that before. Doh!!!

He can see the future !

Well, now we have a man sent off.

Oh well.

Arteta should be screaming at Xhaka, not patting him on the back.

How many chances does one player get?

We are deluded if we think that our club is going to be returning to the top table anytime in the foreseeable future. Championship more like.

The club is rotten to the core.

Xhaka reckless. Unnecessary tackle.

The game is lost. Lokonga and el nenny on.

Emile Smith Rowe off,

At least he misses games now.

Ship him out to Italy.

For all this talk of needing ‘experience’ in midfield, Xhaka doesn’t show it much does he?

We are trapped in purgatory. This is an episode of lost

We will forever be watching chambers, holding and Xhaka screw up for a thousand years

At least now he won't be playing the next games

Sigh.
