He was, a great servant, that genuinely loved the club and City, yet was hammered on here.Kolarov was a fucking good player. A case of be careful what you wish for with some on here.
Chill out dudeI said THANKS RAG.

Same with Dzeko.He was, a great servant, that genuinely loved the club and City, yet was hammered on here.
NoCan Mahrez actually play for longer than 10 mins?
Does Sterling ever go past a player anymore? He had 1 run where he than overran the ball.
Do we have any players that can win a tackle?
Is this Torres lad any good?
Is Mendy ever going to be a top LB?
Does Eddy need to practise more on facing penalties (cos the way football is going hes going to be facing many more)
Fuck me that result as just battered my head.
WTF is happening we seem to be getting weaker
Think the club has relied on Pep getting the most out of players which he did for two great seasons.
However this papered over some pretty shit buys and awful squad management. This is now (and started last season) coming home to bite.
We can't keep expecting Pep to work miracles and get the best out of players who aren't good enough, have aged or are playing in other positions.
This side needs a LB, CM in the mould of Fernandinho and another forward.
Without that we're going to struggle.
Was it painful when you got neutered?
Yeah but I refuse to believe we have a magic stash of cash left if we haggled over small amounts for certain targetsIt could be a blessing in disguise while the window's still open, if we limped home with a 1-0 it would've just papered over the cracks
Should convert him and play 3 centre backsRodri is garbage , not suited at all to premier league football, my gran is quicker
The club has.
Not getting in the correct players. Not refreshing the squad enough. Keeping hold of ageing players for too long.
The club seemed to change direction in the summer, do they know Pep is leaving? Are they reluctant to spend money on this project?Why don't we spend the money? As soon as a club wants over £70m we give up, yet look at our commercial and tv income. If we keep buying mid-level signings we'll become a mid level team.
I thought the board wanted the title again, a a CL? We won the titles we did because we had a younger Kun, Vinny, Silva, younger Fern, Sané. To replace those players you need to buy the best available.
Partly,but we lack pace in all areas it’s the way the game has gone..we have pacy players but not enough unfortunately..Football has evolved since last year when we became the first English club to win the domestic treble? Don't think so.
We are behind other teams in our preparation for the season and have many injuries. This goes some way in explaining why we struggled today.
Its not just about today is it?Sounds like you've been used to winning and because we got beat you've chucked your toys out the pram.
Granted left back is a problem, mendy isn't a defender is he! He spends all his time in the left wing position most of the time which when you're winning games and controlling the possession it goes unnoticed but because we got no recognised centre forward where the ball would stick, it's coming back into midfield where we've bombed on and the other team runs at will with us all out of position.
Saying the manager has folded is shit, 3 penalties against us is unheard of, sloppy defending and sloppy finishing from us and we're our own worst enemy but kneejerk posts get on my tits.
Yep Ederson was let down big time today fucking shambles all around him inc the managmentYou could have 3 keepers in goal for us, but with that teams defending they would still not keep a clean sheet!
