Stoke post match thread

[Decepticon]

I should have watched the Barca game..

Alright the positives, we're definitely buying fresh players to replace our weaknesses this summer. We're still in the top 4 race, we have the FA Cup and The Champions League to go for.

We've stopped creating chances under Pep the way we would with Pellers.
Pep has certainly had his fingers burnt a few times this season, hope he's learning quickly.

going off previous games, huddersfield, monaco, and lots of other games we've created tones of chances. this was just one of those games imo

Pathetic team selection. We have the entire country in fear of us and we weaken ourselves. No excuse for pep here.

I'm yet to see a more useless sack of shit than Clichy. You can tell he's French by the speed in which he moves backwards.

I've never despised a player in the way I hate that prick.

I can accept a lack of talent in a player when they try hard. But that useless prick always takes the easy option. I've never seen a player pass backwards more than him. And it's embarrassing the way he is incapable of crossing the ball.

Pep needs to get rid of the shitbag immediately!

Never watched a game pre 2008 did you?Granted he's very limited, has lost a yard of pace he used to have, but never despised a player like him! Wow....do you not remember Bridge, Mills et al.....

Wtf are you talking about?

I just want to know :Why Guardiola dropped Silva for Navas at the end he was obliged to bring him in.

2) im not surprised for the result and thats why Chelsea is hight flying

3) you feel like it is a destiny to never beeing able to win the league with comfort

4) the fullbacks are just not good simple (spending all this money to end up playing in 2017 with clichy sagna and kolarov as a cm add Toure to the list

5) games like this one happens but should be rare not a common thing ( keep dropping points at home against boro stoke everton etc

 

[BigOscar]

Honestly, you could bring off Clichy in games like this and not bring anyone on for him and you wouldn't be any worse off. He's ok defensively, if I'm being generous, but he's worse than useless when we have the ball. Second half Stoke made it pretty clear they were only interested in time wasting, not even pretending to counter, so you may as well fuck Clichy off and bring an attacker on

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

It had the feeling of being one of those nights after about 20 mins. On the plus side, another clean sheet. We would have conceded in a game like that earlier in the season.

 

[dromoreblue]

How on earth did Sane miss the chance at the end. Any contact and its a goal.

 

[Mattyc55]

Best away form in the league.

6th best at home.

What a turn around - we really have struggled at home the past few seasons.

 

[Mancity1980]

I wish I had watched Barca instead.

 

[citytill1die84]

Poor from City absolutely gutted 2 valuable pts dropped towards top 4 especially with the league fixtures we have coming up.

the team we had out is good enough to beat stoke though. i dont see how its 'pathetic' as you describe. sane, de bruyne, aguero yaya, thats a pretty good team out there.

Yep,blame lies at his feet and not for the first time either this season.

 

[the plasterer]

Could be a grim month of March, out of every completion by Wednesday evening is possible

Wtf are YOU talking about?

KDB, Sane, Aguero not enough attack for you? Or were you just looking for something to pin on the manager?

 

[daztrueblue91]

you said you hated him more then any city player you've seen. are you actually being serious ??. clichy is not wank, he didn't play well tonight i except. i just dont get the hatred for one of our own players.

The guy is pure dog shit.

Unlike other players we've had he has talent. But for some inexcusable reason he refuses to use it.

Tell me what he offers to our side because all I see is a liability who has cost us numerous points over the past 2 seasons.

 

[Cityfan]

As said in the other thread we could have played until tomorrow and still not scored. One of those nights.

Don't really agree with this, another five minutes and we'd probably have scored, the game changed after Silva came on. Shite before that I would agree but we created three or four really good chances in the last fifteen minutes and were totally dominant, not a great performance but after Silva cam on not a poor one either.

 

[B\connellblue]

Not the first time pep has pulled this shit. He underestimates the opposition time and tine again. Its obvious at this stage that like it or not the champions league is the be all And end all to our owners. Oue home form is ridiculously average this season. Stoke for fuck sake, fucking stoke with **** head managing them.

 

[RandomJ]

Well it wasn't good enough to beat Stoke cos we didn't beat them did we?
