Some of the comments on here. You don't deserve this fucking team.
Any team can lose a game of football ffs.

Are you sure?

They won five of seven when dirty 'Arry was out recently.

Yeah I think he wants to play this team in the 2nd leg:

--------------------------Ederson
Walker--------Otamendi--------Laporte--------Mendy
------------------------Fernandinho
------------De Bruyne-------------Gundogan
Bernardo----------------Aguero----------------Sterling


Just don't think he want's to run the legs off of them just yet, granted a lot of them started but think he wants to try and keep players like De Bruyne and Sane fresh.

Tonight looked like a conservation of energy with an eye on the weekend, beat Palace and I'm happy with the 2 results, we can beat Spurs at our place.

 

[Wolfkin]

Foden would've done more tonight than Silva did.

 

[BlueLook]

Get real

I am. You have to pile it in on someone I guess. Mahrez is an easy target. You can't even dare blaming Aguerro for the penalty. Imagine it was Mahrez who missed it, Goodness me !

 

[City Raider]

If that selection wasn't squad management then it's fucking bizarre. Even if it was, just win the game, stop fucking about trying to predict a line-up in 3 days.

Delph? Swansea, Wigan, the rags - all away from home to name a couple - he can't be trusted.

 

[ladcameo]

He clearly is worried about Palace Spurs and united (who am certain will gift wrap the game to us by playing in 2nd gear)
Pep shud have taken a chance and made the changes much earlier

 

[7evens]

Spurs will regret not getting more goals tonight when we hammer them 3-0 next week.

 

[oddfellows]

Delph is a liability.

 

[tommo74]

Shit game, shit result end of, tactics wrong, line up wrong, performance wrong, intensity wrong, only people to blame tonight are the starting 11 and pep

 

[Bayblue]

If the pen had gone in I’d be happy

 

[marco]

come away 1-0 down,we will batter them at the Eatihad,,,,no worries here from me

 

[@BluePhil8]

If Mahrez starts in the next leg, I will lose my mind.

If he starts another game this season really. We have fucking Sane on the bench I don't care if Sane rolls a fucking spliff in training and cracks open a can of special brew he has to be starting more games because he can actually deliver on the pitch.

 

[cityzens]

I've seen a few hundred games from City and this is one of the worst. Everybody knows the importance of scoring atleast one away goal. We also let a goal in from Son that wouldn't have been a goal if Delph did his job.

We all know by now Mahrez is not up for the task. Sell him asap, along with Gundogan, Delph and Otamendi. None of them have the quality to play for City.

And Pep is wasting this tournament. He is literally flushing the CL trophy down the toilet. WHY? Why doesn't he care? Why this weak lineup? Why in a quarter final? Why use ice cold players like Delph, Otamendi, Mahrez – players who barely played all season, while also removing the most important players: Sane, KDB and Bernardo.

I am absolutely stunned how by Pep and his decisions. I'm beginning to think he has lost his head completely. *Shocking*.

 

[Marvin]

Poor performance and I don't understand why we played that team. Pep always does this. Tries to be clever when there really is no need to be

We needed a good result from this leg, now everything is at risk.

 

[blueste41]

there are some pissed pants on here, ffs, we were the better side by a good distance, sergios pen cost us, we will win the 2nd leg

Sadly we weren't

 

[city951]

It was all a bit predictable really. We saw the teamsheet and thought Delph will be crap and so will Mahrez and we’ll struggle against their crowd etc. and thats exactly what happened. What surprised me was taking control 2nd half and then we blow it.

I am worried about Ederson being injured , looked like he didnt recover from it and maybe thats why the shot eluded him.

Of Kane and Alli are out however that will be a much bigger issue for them next week...0

 

[hilts]

Missed oppurtunity against a bang average side. Pissed off with that despite being able to turn it around. What is it with Peps team selection in 2 legs?

Bang average? Come on fella they have won 1 of their last 5 league games:-)

Top Blue.

<yawn>

 

[Manchester_lalala]

only concern is Tottenham scoring an away goal and city having to score 3 goals.

Yep. If they get the first goal, we are fucked. Should always try go for an away goal, even if it means opening up.

 

[Bozo]

Pep got it wrong tonight.
