I don’t mind him getting it wrong, but change it quickly, which he never does. Instead, it is the usual painful 60 - 70 minutes of frustration. Side to side, then picked-off at the back with comical defending.....again!If we’d have started with the team that was on the pitch when we equalised, the match would have been already won and the gift wrapped opportunity we gave UEFA to get their revenge would have been of no consequence
How can a coach who is so brilliant and experienced and gets paid god knows how much to win these games get it so wrong?
Is there nobody in his back room staff or even any of the players that could have pointed out he was sending us stumbling blindly into a catastrophe. I reckon 90% of us lot, even after a skinful of beer pre match, saw this coming when we saw the team
True, but we do give away some absolutely shocking goals. Think maybe the defensive stats are padded a bit by the fact that we completely dominate possession against most sides. Whenever we're put under a bit of pressure, we rarely stand up to it. maybe I'm being harsh, but I can't really think of our last really impressive defensive display?
Because he picked the wholly wrong team and past successes are exactly that. This was the most negative side he could have picked. All the talk of tournament football and every game a final, and he picked a team to play the first leg of a semi final away to Wigan21 years ago....we got beat by Stockport fucking County at home.....I think that was the lowest feeling I have ever experienced as a City fan.....wasn't at York away....so I will take this loss on the chin(still angry though), and trust in Pep to deliver us the Holy Grail. (we've gotta beat all teams 4-0 or we will be fucked over by UEFA though, as per Lyon's 2nd goal).
I am still simmering though......why, why, why ?
We won at CAS! They were shown up to have nothing ,that va r decision at 1-1 wasn't an accident,So how did we embarrass UEFA then?
They may be embarrassing themselves- but what did we do that embarrassed them?
You're spoiling for an argument and you're not getting it from me. Read my post, I actually said that our tactics were the biggest contributing factor, not the decision but you're angry and upset and want a fight. Grow up.Yawn. Doesnt matter. Why the fuck did we play Rhodri Fern and Gundogen in the same side at the same time
The sensible ones aren’t asking for him to be sacked but the ones ignoring that tonight was pretty much all on him are just as bad.
Neither Black or white... there is truth in the middle. He’s a brilliant manager with flaws which seem to be becoming more noticeable. Hopefully he can stem the flow.
It wasn't offside ,it was the foul that was wrongGot to admit I thought exactly the same, not seen a replay giving clarity either way.
Now tell me this is not trollingMaybe that Bayern 8-2 pasting of Barcelona did us no favors .
It created a vacancy at a Club where Pep has strong emotional attachments.
we should just put it behind for a goal kick so we aint in danger of conceding from a breakawayWhats a corner, can you score off them !
No he isn't . When the ball is kicked he is off side . To prove he was off run it in slow motion and you'll see . Why do you think there was no var re-runs . Their 2nd goal 2 fouls and off side but goal stood . we've been well shafted .
Said that to my wife. It fills me with dread when we "win" a corner.we should just put it behind for a goal kick so we aint in danger of conceding from a breakaway
I also find it astonishing that our mistakes are 99.9%converted in to goals regardless of opposition.45 minutes of dross and individual mistakes cost us the game. The same old mistakes of poor defensive
judgment. We need to attack the ball better in dangerous areas and stop giving away silly balls. We got fucked
on the 2nd goal, that's true, but we didn't have to put ourselves in that situation. So deflating after getting
ourselves back in the game.
