Roll on Aug 2017

What the fucks the matter with some of you people ???
We were 50%+ better than we were against Arsenal,defended better (apart from 2 occasions) showed more desire and were also playing a far better team.
Unfortunately and not for the first time this season we had some poor performances in midfield from Messrs KDB and Silva, but we should have still salvaged a point.Shit happens but we deserved better,but that was our fault.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The dropped points in big games have in the majority been our own fault. We have controlled most of them, in fact all of them, but we are absolutely shite in both boxes.

People who suggest we don't create enough, well I wonder how they felt about Chelsea tonight? They shut up shop in the 2nd half. If we'd done that at home I'd be spitting feathers.

Individual error again cost us getting something out of the game and the players are doing that will be gone in the summer.

Individual errors don't make the substitutions or tell all our creative players to go too far forward and fall right into Chelsea's trap. He was a shite manager tonight.

We have played decent football this season, but no better than last season, but one manager isn't fashionable and one is. Alan Ball tried to play football too.

We are in transition like Liverpool under Souness, it just gets worse.

Another transition season next season apparently...

We had an half arsed Yaya, Nolito and a knackered Sterling as the game changers.

 

[Ja Salford Blue]

is it just me but i thought we played really well, with two players starting for the first time this season.

Guardiola has taken us from having the oldest to one of the youngest squads in one transfer window! add to that his two best signings getting long term injuries, add to that him reinventing Sterling!

hes doing alright!

(it could be worse, we could have paid £89m for the most expensive player in the world to prance about in the dressing room making audition tapes for a spot on strictly come dancing)!

We will always attack under Pep. We had opportunities to take something from the game. It's a fine margin.

Chelsea are like vultures. It's a classic Italian led team. But if your expecting pep to hold it back just incase, then you'll be waiting a long time.

It's that old argument of positive attacking football vs negative defensive football. They can both win medals.

Trying to pin this one on pep is naive in the extreme

I'd take a half arsed Yaya over Fernandinho any day of the week.

Stop talking shit and go to bed...

89m? Thought it was over 100m.

Now you really are talking through your arse.

Early on in the year, teams tried this and Pep would simply drop Silva or Kev right back deep. Tonight, he left them all hovering around the box. If Mourinho did the same we'd piss ourselves laughing.

Simple question:
Has there ever been a City match when we played well and didn't win?

 

[Phil1]

Not sure ace is the right word but definitely better than Sunday and nowhere near as poor as half of this forum would have you believe.

 

[aguero93:20]

We were, apart from Sergio, Clichy, Navas and Caballero who were average to poor plus De Bruyne and Fernandinho who had absolute shockers. Unfortunately having 5 players on it out of 11 is about as much use as an underwater hairdryer.

 

[There is a Light]

We lost so we weren't ace.

Another one on the 'promised so much, but delivered nothing' list from this season.

Your positive attitude has no place here ;)

An half arsed Yaya has been one of the problems for the last 18 months.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Now you really are talking through your arse.

Okay. You must like the Fernandinho who has been shite all season so. Red cards, penalties, 2 goal conceded average when he runs for middle, zero assists...yeah he's been great.

We had to win the game tonight.
