Cannot believe how self entitled some fans are on here. Sure we aren't playing well at the moment but there are reasons for this, lack of pre season, injuries to key players, new players, loss of form and confidence.
There is too much knee jerk reaction when we lose a games, get rid of x,y and z; Pep must go etc.
I am not being a happy clapper as I can see things aren't perfect but let's not over react to one frustrating defeat after eight games into the season.
The lack of proficiency at the top end of the pitch is largely due to the fact that we have gone from 50% of teams playing a low block to 90% plus throw in a bit of bad form and lack of fit strikers.Oh I'm seeing it the same as you believe me. All 4 spurs attacks tonight were because we were pushed to far up the pitch, and a bit of carelessness/bad positioning, and we're done every time. My mum texted me blaming Ederson, but 4 times he was put one on one with a forward and no cover to help.
That said our profligacy at the other end doesn't help either, so yes the conclusion is that we are a bit of mess.
If we are as bad as you say then why bother extending Pep's contract. Sure we aren't playing well but to say that we are beyond poor is taking the piss.I suggest you take a look at the table and think again we are beyond poor at the moment and no real improvement in sight. We are one or two bad results away from a crisis. We need 5 or 6 wins in a row to get back in the title race and that looks to be beyond us at present.
Walker doesn't "seem to think he is a winger/midfielder" it's the way he's instructed to play by Pep, same on the other side.This may be controversial but I also think Walker needs binning, Seems to think he is a winger/midfielder & never appears to be in position when the opposition attacks.
Take the blinkers off, Mr Clapper. You think the reaction is to one frustrating game?Cannot believe how self entitled some fans are on here.

Funnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.Why dont we give opponents the ball and we sit back and hit them on the counter thats change it around. if managers arent sure if we are going to play possession or counter attack football.
The worry today was that there was little response from the players to his new contract extension, not a good sign at all
We aren't fast enough to counter anymoreFunnily enough I was thinking exactly the same myself earlier! Nobody would be expecting it and surely it would catch the opposition off-guard.
Park the bus and use Kev to transition the ball up to our pacey forwards; bit like what Spurs do with Kane and Son.
Seems every time we are hit on the break, we concede. Therefore, playing high up the putch is our problem. Unfortunately though, we never learn!
‘at the moment’ FFS. 18 months of this nonsense now with no apparent end in sight.If you think people are reacting to one defeat in one season only then sorry you are the very definition of a happy clapper, if I looked up happy clapper in the dictionary I would expect to see a picture of you smiling with your thumbs up:-)
From our armchairs... huge difference that will makeI really cant believe the negativity on here. It's just not clicking atm but it will do soon I'm sure of that.
Get behind Guardiola & the team.
It's taking the piss thinking this season will magically turn around. 18 months we,ve been like this. No sign it will dramatically improve, that is the reality.If we are as bad as you say then why bother extending Pep's contract. Sure we aren't playing well but to say that we are beyond poor is taking the piss.
We may be two bad results away from a crisis but we are also only two good results from being right back in the mix.
Wow, first you say Hart would have done a better job & now you say you say Ederson is on a par with you & me.Given that its his job to stop attempts on goal I'd say he did little more than you or I could have offered in defending the goal.
Anyone in their right mind can see a big decline in this side over the last season and the start of this one, but some people prefer to turn a blind eye to it and think everything is rosy in the City garden mate‘at the moment’ FFS. 18 months of this nonsense now with no apparent end in sight.
Eight games in, dropped points in five of them, scored 10 goals, a minus goal difference.
One of the worst title defences in history last season. Out of the FA Cup and Champions league in a precisely identical manner to tonight. And Leicester.
But yeah, this is all a knee jerk reaction
Jesus has been the only positive for me in the last few games, I wouldn't even think about selling him. Jesus doesn't get the credit he deserves imo.Sure.. Is he a game changer ? NO
Is he ready to take up Agüero's role? NO.
is he ready to be a winger? NO.
What do we do with him? Backup? Well yes but times up. We might try someone new.
