Match Thread | Man City vs Lyon (15/08/20)

[domalino]

The blame lies with one man on this one.. and he ain’t wearing football boots

Pep deserves some questions asked, but in a game where Ederson, Walker, Laporte and Sterling have all made absolutely pathetic errors, you can't put all the blame on him.

 

[super_city_si]

Fucking world class players my arse , everyone of them bottled it regardless of formation or tactics

whole team came out with a defeatist attitude from the setup from Pep

 

[Chippy_boy]

This is why I kind of hoped we'd get banned. It's sickening getting fucking shafted every year like this.

Shafted? We've deserved nothing.

 

[razman]

Foul goal, raz miss and Ederson howler.... Sums us up

 

[SWP's back]

I used to fear the day Pep left. Not any more.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Shame we don't have a warrior like Mancini cursing out and firing up this team.

The most expensive City squad and we still can't get past the benchmark set by Pellegrini.

 

[yankblue]

It's okay to be frustrated with the tactics tonight but to suggest Pep should be fired or that we'd be better of without him is absolutely fucking insane.

 

[argyle]

Needs more than 5 players to rectify this.

 

[skyblues]

How the fuck is Foden not playing?

 

[Saddleworth2]

We were always going to get done by dodgy refs, that’s why we needed to attack them and get two goals in front. Tell you what let’s play three defensive midfielders.

 

[RayCTID]

The ref hasn't helped but this is definitely down on the team and manager

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Tonight the big players let the team down, Pep, Ederson, Laporte, KDB, Sterling

Walker.
Gundo.

 

[Silva_Spell]

No. Pep let us down tonight.. totally let us down.

Yes, and Ederson and Laporte and KDB and Sterling, as I said

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Shat the fucking bed again.

We might be good in the PL, but we're continually being handed our ass in Europe.

We're getting something very wrong. Tonight it was Pep over thinking it again, lack of changes, and individual brain farts - sound familiar??

 

[beano46]

Pep, the least you can do is apologise profusely that you fucked this up!

He'll say we played well, but not well enough, he's proud of the team, blah blah fucking blah.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Can we appeal to CAS to change their decision?

 

[sir baconface]

EDERSON LOL. So what if he can kick if far . Get someone who can save the ball.

get him out the club

Fcuk off aresehole.

 

[SidJames]

I feel like we threw this game,i really do.

12/1 Lyon were.

 

[mikemcfc]

ref time wasteing

 

[Kazzydeyna]

We need a complete new defence. A complete defence. Also 2 world class strikers. A worthwhile defensive midfielder. Another attacking midfielder to replace silva and Sane.

We're looking at a needed spend of over 500m just to get a team that can get to a CL semi final.

as I said earlier we ,owe this manager everything for the way he stood up for us, but if we as a club want to win this champions league we need a spend like never before and the manager needs to be told that trying to be clever for the sake of it is not acceptable ever again.

we have gone backwards in Europe since the heady days of Manuel.
