First thing to say is, as sh*te as we were, we had chances. Virgil had 4, Firmino had 2, Carvalho missed an easy one after a great first touch and Salah missed the ball when unmarked from a free kick. I'm not saying all of them go on but F***ing hell two of them should be getting put away at least.
We were still F***ing sh*te though. Passive from the first whistle and what was alarming was how we didn't react to the game situation at all. The space was out wide all game, nothing doing in the middle yet we persisted with Salah and Bobby down the middle and we saw Carvalho constantly drifting in. Why the F**k did no one change it at the break? We should have moved Salah to right forward and brought Trent on earlier.
Jones ain't good enough for the Premier League, that much is clear. He must be Zidane in training to be here because usually it doesn't take too much for JĆ¼rgen to get rid of young players if he doesn't think they're up to it (see Neco). Gomez is another one to move on, he had a rare great game against City but since coming back from injury he's been nothing but ropey. RB against weak times in the cup aside he shouldn't be playing for us. Fabinho as well - how long before it's more than a sh*te run of form? Can't remember the last good game he had for us.
Plenty to ponder for JĆ¼rgen and no solutions in sight. A very rough few months ahead for the club and we just have to hope the owners hold their nerve and don't sack the manager.
