This is my hope. Bit of new energy might make quite a difference.

Or they both might snap an ACL.

Seriously bro. The result wasn't even important after that revelation. It was like turning up at a new place today.

As soon as I saw the starting line up it was clear the best we'd do was a scrappy, lucky draw but we'd probably lose. Desperately need one or two new faces.

Scamacca and Cornet must start next week. Play them for 60 mins if not 100% fit.

Zouma always looks a bit cumbersome but he was running through treacle today.

Another note, I can’t stand playing teams like City at the bowl, not only are they bloody boring and Sap the energy from the crowd, but the amount of tourists is ridiculous, 4 people filming the second goal celebration near me. I had to say something, it’s not on. By all means watch the game, but don’t do crap like that.

dont want to pick on any of our players today, it was lacklustre against a very good opponent , with a razor sharp striker , we couldnt get the ball, and when we did we couldnt keep it , we will get a better idea of where we are next sunday .

I think this is part and parcel of what happens when you move from a ground like Upton Park to there. Plus football has become very 'social media-lised' over the past few years.

Won't play a better team and having watched us in pre-season I expected worse to be honest.

Got it out the way and Fornals still frustrates the hell out of me not running with with the ball or moving forward, he slows everything down to go sideways/backwards nearly every time he gets the ball on the attack.

However, considering his lack of pre-season and training with us thought Scamacca looks the real deal, seriously good and when facing lesser defences is going to be great to watch.

Get Cornet in with him and Bowen and it's looking good in attack

Antonio looked a shadow of his former self, even before his injury. His entire game just seems to be reversing into people to try to draw a foul. Soucek had his worst game for us, just seemed clueless. Fornals and Lanzini totally ineffective. I wouldn’t start any of them next game.

Our defence always seems to play well even when the first choices aren't available. Before Oggy's injury we had a back 7 which was capable of challenging for top six. But our forwards generally rarely achieve the the consistancy required to hit that target, and are severely challenged when playing against such strong opponents

Good that we have found two replacements who will improve things...it was a lot to ask to replace all the forwards in one window.

Not the end of the world like some are making it out to be. City are stacked in every position. World class in nearly every position.

We lost 2-0. The most coveted striker in world football got the 2 goals. Out tactic’d by the best manager of his generation.

Some of you lot are pathetic.

We will make additions to the already good business we have done and we will be alright.

Now back to knicker wetting. As you were.

I honestly don’t think it was as bad as some are making out

Cornet on the left wing Scamacca starting and a cb instead of Johnson and it would have been a closer game

I thought Diaz had Antonio in his pocket today but Scamacca caused him problems

City do that to let most teams and absolutely bossed the game for large periods. Isn't really surprising and glad we kept at 2-0.

Have to say we looked organised and well drilled without offering much going forward.

Cancello and Walker both played like CMs today.

The second half was much better than the first half. I thought we were useless for most of the first half. At least we gave it a go in the second.

Antonio and Lanzini are likely finished as productive attacking forces.

Soucek has been found out at this level.

Benrahma is ****.

Those are the only negatives for me from today.
