Six matches left? Is it time to give other players a chance.

We played our "strongest" team on Monday and got stuffed by a team that were bottom of the table at kick off. Our so called strongest team have played badly, and very boringly, since we won at Bournemouth.

We played pretty well against Derby, which was also the last game we started with Joe Bennett and Perry Ng as our wing-backs. I don't think that is entirely coincidental.

I think you could be right about the wing backs (although Sang’s done well I feel), but Derby made a stack of changes that night and were pretty awful - with the benefit of hindsight, I don’t think that win was as impressive as it seemed at the time,

We still played well though, especially in the first half before Bennett got injured. We haven't come close to that quality of performance since then.

Agree entirely. Bennett gets some stick on here but since the wingback partnership of Ng and Bennett has disappeared, it is no coincidence that our overall form has slipped badly. Sang looks pretty good and I would gamble with him in midfield for 2-3 games.
MM needs to fully understand the squad as a struggling City next season (around the position we were in when he arrived) will not be tolerated by the board or the fans.
