Leicester v City post match

[jayblue]

We are winning Champions league this season.....and Carabao Cup.

As long as we don't come up against teams with the skill and talent of crystal palace and Leicester.

 

[tommo74]

Poch obviously challenged them since Jose left. Show me you want me to stay.

Well so far they are showing him, hope if we do fail they win it rather than the dippers, and I don't like the spuds either, but lesser of the 2 evils for me

 

[zandvoort blue]

So you're throwing the towel in?

Confidence is shot. Mommentum is with Spuds and the Dippers. The reason they are top is they`ve been winning when playing poorly. They are now hitting form and battering opponents. Possibly the worst time of the year to drop off as there`s little time to regroup.
We need a win, any sort of win at Soton or we`ll be looking over our shoulders and not at the teams above us. Time for Pep to earn his corn.

 

[vmsuhail]

Well we have a challenge on.

If Chelsea and Arsenal win, we have a real challenge for Top 4.

 

[argyle]

One good thing to come out of today ....we will now surely rid of the "best team to ever grace the Premiership" label which was nonsense really

If the team played like last year we would be however some players look like they they're still dining out on last years win.

 

[Gordyola]

Is Pep trying for the sack? (The way PEG clearly was). 3 defeats in 4?! Absolute bottle job of major proportions! We’re done for this season, this Pellegrini territory all over again - feels like de ja vu! I thought we were past all this boom and bust cycle shite, obviously not!

Words fail me

[I'm With Stupid]

We must have had around 150 corners this season but I'm can't remember scoring from one.

This has been terrible. And it's not even as if the delivery has been shite either. The Hoffenheim game summed it up for me. Didn't we get something like 15 corners, won every single one of them, and didn't get a single shot on target out of it?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

A season defining month. Losing 3 games was unthinkable a month ago. I think we’ll be 10 points behind by time we have played Liverpool.

 

[blueire]

City nearly always crap at Christmas. Pep needs to keep playing players when they are on form. Rotation for the sake of it is too disruptive

 

[Roachy]

Theoretically, no. It won't be too late. However, we'll need to go on a winning run of, say, nine or ten games to put the pressure on Liverpool and Spurs. Can we do it? Yes; of course we can. Will we do it? Hmm.

Agree, that's why I said "may". Two dreadful results where we look a totally different team to the one we know has got me concerned though. Very poor from that squad.

 

[mancity1]

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.

Been very average since the Derby that's for sure , ten games now where we haven't been anywhere near our best and its getting worse rather than better.

 

[rnblade]

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.

Put the illegal substances away you fool.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Not a good few days for us but I’m still confident City can turn this around, let’s face it, we’ve recovered from a cart load worse.. Onwards n upwards, rags coming out from under their stones again, let’s get behind the team and not go missing like they do when the chips are down....

 

[super_city_si]

Put in players who give a shit... Gundo, Delph, Agwhereo obviously couldn't be bothered. Give Foden more minutes sign someone who isn't made of crystal at LB.

Unfair in aguero I feel. Second half he was doing his best to get us going again, just ran out of steam.

 

[blue by birth]

This will upset the happy clappers who say everything will be ok as we are the best team in Europe.. nope no we are not, for a start crystal palace and Leicester are better than us. PEP said today was a test of the teams character.. Well they failed miserably they have no character. Can you imagine Liverpool losing to these 2 teams.. no me neither.

I can see where you get your user name from..fuck off with Palace and Leicester are better than us ffs.
Look at the table and tell me they are better than us.
Would you expect either of them to be higher than us by the end of the season...if they are better than us and you believe that..get to the bookies and put a few quid on it...you will be a rich man if it happens...or in reality just a loser

In what sense? We’ve gone from being 2 points clear to 7 points behind in 4 games. Our defence is shot to pieces, we knew we needed a left back and cover at DM and yet we we went into the season arrogantly thinking we’d cope. Well we can’t!

 

[blueonblue]

If nothing else this gives Pep the big stick that managers need at times, a straight reminder that no matter how good the media says you are, if you dont want it when the going gets hard you are not a champion, sadly there were more than a few out there today who did not go that extra yard, Bernard Silver was the outstanding example of giving everything, he ran his self into the ground, I doubt Sterling broke sweat.

Pep will get them fired up by questioning what they want from their career, he needs to get them playing out of their skin instead of coasting along waiting for things to happen, there are problems with players who are not fitting into the system, Gundogan slows the whole midfield up, that does not make him a bad player, he just can not cover that role.

If Vinny is available, it may well be that Pep puts him back in just to steady the ship and get back to winning ways, whatever he does I expect he wants a reaction from some players or they will be out the door.

 

[The Preacher]

Can’t quite believe what a disaster this week has been. If we lose on 3rd jan i can’t see us catching them

We’ve got to beat Southampton yet! And even the ‘Spursy’ Spuds are looking good for a tilt at the title. Unless something changes quickly, I can see us, on current form, losing our game on Sunday as well. We’ve not experienced a losing streak in the Premiership like this - 3 losses in 4 - for a long while and it will be interesting to see if the team, admittedly injury-hit in recent weeks but jaded and lacking the intensity, invention and steel we’ve become used to - can quickly ‘re-invent’ itself, recover form and still offer a realistic title challenge. We’ll know by early January but I fear the worst. If I’m right, then an all-out assault on the CL may well be the club’s strategy. The way I’m feeling this evening, I’d settle for a Carabao and FA Cup double.

 

[Grassland Blue]

It’s going to end up a battle for 4th between us and the rags isn’t it.

I can see it.....
