This happens every time Sterling isn't at his best.
Boo boys need a scape goat.

He hasn’t been at his best since 2019

Jesus??? Honestly, I don't know what some of you are watching on a weekly basis. He is not good enough for us and games like this prove it. He isn't a difference maker in any way.

Based on what? Today? Jesus has been a difference maker for us several times before?

 

[gorton loyal]

Too many changes. The definitive sucker punch.

100% sorry with that team today I knew what was coming

 

[Blu1]

A top striker & almost all of our issues will go. It’s insane a club of our status still don’t have a top striker.

 

[PistonBlue]

after seeing the team sheet it wasnt

The team was picked with Dortmund in mind clearly, not the team I’d have picked but there you go.
Having said that, the stats say we should have won the game even with that team, 71% possession, 29 shots, 7 on target. So yes, unexpected.

 

[pluto]

Maybe this is pep saying we need to spend 100+ on a striker

 

[Mr HJ]

Maybe just maybe this could turn out to be a good thing - with such important games coming up it kind of galvanises the thought that rotation should stop and certain players who have been banging on the managers door wanting to play more now know they have to turn up when given a chance. Mendy, Cancelo and Raheem did themselves no favours today. Anyway onto Wednesday, we have much bigger fish to fry and I suspect Pep will be livid with the lack of movement against ten men.

 

[ID70]

It shows the fringe players aren’t as good as everyone thinks.

 

[Beanhead]

Anyone else notice their winning goal was offside? Helder Costa is offside in the build up and it never even got looked at.

I have just rewound to look at this.. and it is very, very, very tight. Zinchenko is the player possibly playing him on but have paused it on numerous occasions and I really can’t tell but veering to the decision he was offside.

No excuses.. but surprised it wasn’t at least checked as it is certainly tight.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

People need to grow a set of balls on here. So what we lost a game that isn't important. We rested the players that we wanted to for the important games. Its all about the cups now

I dread to think what will happen on here if we lose to Dortmund or Chelsea. Can't tell if its children or just the most kneejerk adults in existance who are having a meltdown.

 

[Del_Bosque]

Happily never see Sterling or Jesus in a Blue shirt again.

Absolute jokers, Peps a magician for getting 3 titles out of them

Can see a few more results like this before end of the season with Pep rotating around the cups

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Match that Leeds performance against the fucking shit show they put in against United. Yorkshire cunts.
We helped them by being shit in front of goal. 29 shots and 1 goal is not good enough.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

By that premise, we shouldn't care at all about winning any matches, why even bother to watch, in fact?

It's a results business, as City fans, we should always want to win and certainly care about losing, regardless of the competition.

I've got a bet on us to win one trophy this season, Cups can go in the blink of an eye and, as things stand, we still need to keep the other eye on finishing the job in the league.

As today has shown, nothing can be taken for granted.

 

[lowe71]

Which club will take Sterling?

How that useless cnut wants on par with de bruyne in wages is a head shake the sooner him and mendy fuckoff the better.

Liverpool away

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Good to get it out of our system in a way. Need to bounce back on Wednesday. Hopefully Spurs can do us a favour in the meantime.

We should have got it out of our system after the scum game. This could have been avoided today.

 

[dhruvblue]

Point 5 is taking it a-bit far. We don’t need to learn anything from the red shite.

Learn from teams that come back from going down and don't dro weapons every time

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Angry just doesn’t describe it. When I saw the lineup it was asking for trouble, but yet again it’s the failure to take chances, 27 of them FFS. The Villa game now becomes huge or this lead will start to evaporate.

A bigger concern, as it was earlier in the season before our run, is we only hit the target with 7.
Out of those 7 I'd suggest that the goal we scored was the only one that was truly dangerous

 

[RayCTID]

A classic City defeat although there should of had at least one penalty (Stones) in the first half despite the overall team performance

 

[burning blue soul]

It gets to the point where it becomes comedy.
Doesn't even show we had 1 man extra for 50% of the game. Mind boggling.
