[Airbags Optional]

Been useful so far hasn't it

Bring him inside a bit and get Kev off and we will be alright

 

[DruntBlunt]

I'll take one classic Pep half time team talk, please.

Like this isn't a special game so no more effort than usual or rather a little less kind of teamtalk you mean? Ole at least knows what a derby means and it shows.

 

[blueabdi]

Mahrez??? Don’t be daft

Yea i believe sterling will improve. We need intensity and have to be calm. We will get gaols

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Another positive note is that Mahrez has yet again played very well

He hasn’t at all. He’s just been slightly better than the rest of the attackers.

We’ve been fucking toss!

 

[Kazzydeyna]

Still think we will get something out of this - class will tell eventually - but I’ve come to the reluctant conclusion that in ANY game that means something these days, Derbies, CL knockouts etc, Raheem needs to be kept at home. He just seems to overthink every touch, taking 3 or 4 touches and dithering.

Another derby where we are crying out for Foden’s athleticism and desire.

 

[supercity88]

Unless we make changes at half time it is game over in terms of us winning this. We never win games when behind at half time. The stat for that is insane.

Bernardo for De Bruyne please Pep. And Foden for Sterling.

 

[Mancity1980]

Bring Sergio on! How are we losing to this pile of steaming shite?

He didn’t look ready the other day, KDB was better and look at him today. Just had another look at that pen decision, Jesus should be no where near our pen area ever again, completely unnecessary.

 

[eastmanc]

Get Foden on for Sterling. FFS

 

[sh249]

Dreadful for the first 15-20 mins. Much better since but lacking a but of composure.
Daft decision to start De Bruyne - looked rusty as fuck in the last two, and started exactly the same here. But hopefully he can pull something out second half.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Gundogan the only one getting a look on goal and hitting it like a tart. KdB what the hell. Sterling the invisible faller over. Jesus like a little kid playing against a pub team.

 

[Paul1970]

Why do people keep defending him? He would not last a minute at Barca, Real or Bayern

He is a good player for mid table teams but not good enough for us and to be truthful we don’t deserve anything at the moment and we are gonna struggle to get anything from this game . But it’s there cup final and if they win so fucking what they ain’t gonna win the league so let them have there moment .

 

[HelloCity]

The penalty looks worse every time. Farcical.

Just seen it was Jesus who gave it away as well ffs.

 

[journolud]

We are lucky to only be 1 down

Not really

 

[malkie]

Started badly and we were really poor for the first 5-10 mins, after that we've been the better team though. Last 15 mins I think we looked quite good. If we can get an early goals 2nd half I think we will see these off.

 

[omcfc]

Not the ideal start. 45 minutes to rescue this match. We've got the players to do it, let's see if they're up for it. Come on City!!

 

[Beanhead]

The penalty looks worse every time. Farcical.

why? If you mean it shouldn’t have been given you are well wrong.. stone wall pen I’m afraid.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Billed as 21 ‘away games, without a loss’....vs 21 ‘consecutive wins’....who makes this shit up, not at all comparable on any level.

 

[whp.blue]

Sterling should never have started this game, he gives the ball away far too easily.
That gives them the chance to break whilst we are out of shape.
Foden would have caused their fullback more problems.
We also need more pace and energy in midfield.
Pep has a problem with rags he shows them too much respect.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

I think we all know how the 2nd half will go.

Rags will defend with their bus, and hoof ball for Martial and Sir Rashford.

 

[SidJames]

KDB is our weakest link. Last 3 games he has made more attacks for the opposition than us.

Lazy passes, jogging around, waving his hands in frustration. Has the aurora of Billy big Bollocks about him at the moment. And it is pissing me right off.
