I don't think it's underestimating them, when ran a similar team in the league Cup (which annoyed me) and I can almost see why with the amount of games recently try and reduce injuries to key members, but that was such a poor display today from a group of players who should do so much better! Not even a single shot on target

A 2-0 win in the replay against Fleetwood.....and the second goal being the first use of VAR to decide a goal! City making history.....
I appreciate there are fans who like the edgy nature of dodgy referee decisions, but I've been backing the use of technology for years.....& that game last night vindicated it. Moss played it absolutely right....took only a minute, and the decision was (as agreed by everyone!) correct. Players actually seemed to understand there was no point crowding (bullying!) the ref, which never changes a decision anyway.
I'm sure there will be a few contentious ones to come, but it takes the massive pressure off the referees to have Super Powers.
Football growing up!

Nope not a shame it was a st performance. If they're not on the practice ground this week being drilled on how to take corners and free kicks that clear the first man the coaching staff need a kick in the balls!
And Schmeichel very lucky not to be embarrassed again!
Don't know what's come over Schmeichel lately, he needs to have a word with himself.And Schmeichel very lucky not to be embarrassed again!
He went through a poor spell prior to Logan leaving and then improved when some actual competition for his place arrived in the form of Hamer. Has a bit of complacency set in again?
I also wonder what effect it had on him coming up against Edison, trying to replicate his passing ability and failing miserably. Suddenly realising hes not quite as good as he thinks he is?
Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of his and a couple of mistakes don't make him a bad keeper, look at the save he made against Sheff Utd. But he's not playing like we know he can.

Yes left it very late but a fantastic free kick!
Need to sort out the midfield, Silva is looking lightweight but IMO needs game time because when he has a bit of time and space he looks good, Marty James has been completely anonymous the last couple of games, and I wonder what Iborra is doing wrong behind the scenes.
Albrighton is so clearly not a right back, diving in on tackles and out of position frequently. Leaving Simpson out of the squad was not a good choice in hindsight.
ETA and after watching MOTD Bournemouth should have had a penalty for Ndidi's push in the 2nd half. So we really did get away with it yesterday, think that would have been game over at 2-0.
