Leicester v City post match

[Keeper!]

As soon as Silva came on the pitch, Sane looked a different player, the understanding between then is priceless.

God help us when Spanish Dave says adios

Why are so many blues conceding the title in December?

Jeez ... grow some balls ... and quick!

It's not about balls you Muppet. Whether I say "we'll go on a 19 game winning streak and win the league by 10 clear", or "we'll lose 2 out if the next 3 and struggle for 4th"... makes ZERO difference to actual reality. What will be, will be.

But people are entitled to an opinion as to how things might pan out.

I'd settle on just beating Liverpool next month, regardless of whatever happens afterwards in the league

It's very hard to retain premiership, I think we need to understand that to be at our very best our very best

players need to be on the pitch at the same time free of injury or just returning from injury. If not we are

still a good team but can lose games. We are struggling to be at our very best and the players that thrive

around those players e.g. sane, sterling will struggle to perform as well & that's what we are seeing now.

As we are not 100% from Fernandinho forward this year, the defence is being shown as not as effective.

PEP We have to realise that we have to work harder and change immediately to bring our confidence back and go and get good results.

PEP The season is still long, we have to fight for many many things. They scored a fantastic goal. Football is football. We have to accept it and work hard and then harder.

The game was similar to Crystal Palace. We worked hard, we scored a goal but then they came back to win it. The game was there but in the end it was a fantastic goal and they finished us.

We now have to think about Southampton. We have to be humble, we have to work and we will overcome the situation and come back.

Problem is it may be too late by then.

 

[vmsuhail]

Congrats to M.Dean though for brandishing a red card for a challenge he didnt even see the bent twat.

I hope we can successfully appeal against that red card.

 

[City Raider]

No leadership today.

Not a single one of them was looking hungry and desperate to get the win, all playing at about 75% thinking someone else will do the dirty work and create something.

Nobody on the pitch to bollock each of them neither. No captain playing for us at the moment, just a load of nice lads.

It’s an issue. We fall behind in so few games, especially last season. No Kompany or Toure to rely on.

He’s consistent in his response and he’s also not wrong.

Heads down. Bounce back. That’s all that matters at the moment

 

[abu13]

No surprise that in both games we have lost this week we had no Dihno, he brings so much to the team and is grossly underrated.

We are now in a battle for 2nd, to think that prior to playing Chelsea away we were being talked about as being invincibles, we ten go on to lose 3 out of 4.

 

[kaz7]

Might want to consider january window Not sure we can recover at Southampton which means we might as well give the dippers a guard of honour

It’s not coincidental that our dip in form follows silva’s injury. The drop in level to gundo is massive. Mendy getting another long term injury has also hit us really hard. Still can’t believe Foden doesn’t get more game time. More energetic and more creative than Gundogan

My fucking Labrador retriever would be more creative and energetic than Gundogan.

 

[Keeper!]

Nonsense. Liverpool played about 8 friendliest before we even got to the states. We rested all our World Cup players. Also, half of Liverpool’s first eleven didn’t even go to the World Cup.

Well you answered it, Liverpool had half a team whom had a full summers rest, big advantage

 

[mancity1]

Really poor at the moment , lack the drive and intensity needed to compete now.

Players look tired and unwilling to do what is needed to place their stamp on games now.

Could well be a very long season at this rate.

Don't think Pep has the answers this season , need a few new players to inject some much needed enthusiasm and competition.

Pep's words in public Karen, but I bet he's seething at some of the players today. He will not tolerate being so wasteful and resorting to hopeful cross field bombs - it's not his style. Anyway onward and upward - may prove to be a good thing in the long run.

 

[ganganvince]

I hope we can successfully appeal against that red card.

Not a chance studs up is red all day long.

 

[homerdog]

Title has gone. Liverpool and Spurs have too much momentum. The national outpouring of celebration makes it an even bigger pill to swallow.

We might only be a point behind Liverpool a week tomorrow, so I certainly haven't given up yet. As for the small minded bitters celebrating our demise, it will be all the sweeter when we retain the title.

Don't be so defeatist man, after a couple of bad results. We've played badly before now and bounced back with style.

 

[Proy]

My fucking Labrador retriever would be more creative and energetic than Gundogan.

He’s a fancy footballer and bailed on too many tackles today.

That said. I think he’s quality and just doesn’t play enough because there isn’t a role for him. I see him behind the strikers not filling Dinhos shoes.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Have they hit a wall?

I think that they are more or less burnt out.
We can't play Pep's intense system indefinitely.
Suddenly we look very vulnerable.

 

[avoidconfusion]

The way we are playing Liverpool will thrash us when we play them and go 10 points ahead. Really could not afford to lose this game.

 

[domalino]

Just had a bad couple of games.
We will bounce back.

Pur league games have been below par since the derby. Pep was pissed off after the West Ham game because we have them loads of chances, Bournemouth was a game we made a meal out of, Watford was where we stopped killing games off and it nearly cost us at the end, Chelsea was poor, Everton let us off by missing 3 tap ins and then we've had back to back defeats.


It's not an off day any more, that's the big problem.
