Any team would leak goals when you are missing your best 2 defenders and defensive midfielder. 

Yes we get it, he don't rate him and he is knobhead cos of his attitude. 

He is doing his best with what he got available. 

On Rogers, he moved to Boro 18 months ago then 12 months ago joined Villa. So City should have seen his potential. Perro would be first choice right back at City. Another one who shouldn't have been allow to leave. 

Palmer pushed for a move cos he wasn't player. He should have been playing more. 

"He is doing his best with what he has available" is a cop out. His tactics continuously are leading to Spurs conceding far too many goals and hes too stubborn to change it regardless of player availability and as a result they are doing poorly. 

I think with Palmer there is more blame to be attached although even then it was at a time when De Bruyne was still fit and firing and Foden was the player of the season in the Premier League. Rogers wouldnt be doing what he is now had he stayed at City. Porro likewise although he isnt THAT good anyway.

No its fact. Not a cop out. 

So if they did change style and still lost cos they aren't winning games and the attacking players are getting into good attacking areas. 

Get back those 3 players soon and they will be top 6 by end of the season

You can't say with any degree of certain Rogers wouldn't be doing what he is now. 

Porro is quality. 

Pep should have seen these talents and develop them. Him and City havent

He is playing stupidly risky football exposing his defenders and they are leaking goals. He as a result deserves blame for their below par League position.

If you think Rogers would have potentially enjoyed the same amount of game time at City where he would have been battling with Foden/De Bruyne/Silva for his position over the last few years as opposed to his actual career trajectory to be able to progress how he has then you are crazy.

He left 18 months ago for Boro and within 6 months Villa signed him. Villa are top 4 team. Villa seen his potential and signed him to their successful. City didn't see it. Shame on them

Why should they be shameful for merely letting a player go who they presumably didn't rate at the time?

Players get released all the time and many forge successful careers at other clubs.

That's just football.

After this latest round of results it feels like it may well end up being the 3 promoted teams all going straight back down for the 2nd season running. The gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Ange I think has to be the most offensive manager in prem history, puts Keegan in the shade.

Cant be long till he gets sacked, shame as Ill miss his kamikaze games. Always entertaining.

I found Steve Keane more offensive personally 😉

True. It's just a shame they didn't keep him but as you rightly pointed out players leave big clubs and forge good successful careers at other clubs. Just think City should have kept hold of players like Rogers, Palmer and Porro cos they would be better squad and it would be younger squad right now which is what they need

Good takedown (in my view) of Spurs / Ange. My wife, a dedicated non-football fan, happened to see the Liverpool game last night and said "if football was always like this I'd watch it more often...but you wouldn't want to support Spurs as it must be so exhausting"!
