    Re: Well that was fun

    Long way to go yet. Watching Watford v Fulham earlier I was really looking forward to pitting our wits against them.

    Both look good going forward but both look shaky at the back. I reckon that’ll be 2 great games for us as will Burnley, Brighton, Leicester etc in the next few weeks.

    Games against the top 6 aren’t going to yield many points.

    Man City have won the last 34 they have played against promoted sides, so nothing new again today

    We knew that we were going to get done today, that's not a problem for me or the majority of fans with any sense. So, what I look for is other things during the game that give me encouragement. A little passage of play, a bit of composure on the ball, a player or two looking to take responsibility, to embrace playing against the best in the world, even if we do get smashed 5-0. I didn't see anything that I could take away from that. At a push Bobby Reid looked like he fancied it at times. We don't support the man with the ball and panic in possession, for me, that's going to be a problem.

    We competed reasonably well for the first 30 minutes of each half, but after that we gradually ran out of legs against a side who were sharper, better organised, quicker and technically better.

    A lot of our poor stuff came when players were out on their feet.

    I though Manga did some good stuff ( before giving the ball away for their 4th or 5th- even though the woman behind me blamed Morrison) and we did have a few good passages of play, often let down by poor touches up front.

    Cunningham also looks decent.
