Play Delap. The kids numbers are insane. Give him a chance he cant do worse than our front three right now apart form Foden and Mahrez

I think he is, but we are at the business end, players are tired and probably more frustrated than we are, so right after the game isn’t the time to call them naive, or stupid, or lacking nous, or any of the many other phrases I’m sure will be used behind closed doors out of their earshot.

If one hood thing came out of this defeat, it magnified a few things:

Who isn’t good enough for this team & where our Achilles heel remains.

Sterling, Mendy, Aguero and Fernandinho should not be here next season. That leaves close to €1M/week in wages available for suitable replacements, not to mention the fees we have yet to book from last season, plus the €60-70M for the two under contract!

Hopefully, Txiki has his best man on it?!

Not sure how

Sterling
Ake
Torres

Are tired

As for Fernandinho I for one hope he signs an extension

 

[ancoats]

You don’t really believe that do you?

Granted Mendy is a professional passenger but that’s true for all games.

yep

players down tools for not playing the bigger games. i would if i was dropped and used in a meaningless premier league games and cup games. sterling has upset pep don't know why but he is not first choice anymore

jesus is another one who is in this team for what ? defo not goals. he is soft as shit and falls over and could not trap a bag of sand. torres is another player that is not suited of the premier league to light weight. aguero not played for weeks and gets injured sitting on the bench ?

i knew what was coming today. i flagged it up the other day when the tv shown sterling and aguero and others on the bench pulling a kipper on the bench. i just knew sterling was not going to turn up today

selling sterling jesus would bring in good money aguero and mendy can leave for free and 4 good wages off the clubs books

delap should be playing today instead of the rubbish we had on show

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Yes players are tired but not many who started to day fall into that category.

I meant immediately after the game, unless you think they didn’t put in a shift?

 

[chaddblue]

In 2012 ( Aguero's first season) , the gap was 8 points with 6 games to play

now we have the same opposite situation in ( Aguero's last seasob )



karma on the way

The gap will only be 8 points if they win both their games

also in 2012 we had to play each other which effectively became a huge 6 pointer

Also we’ve got a much better goal difference which may as well count as an extra point

we’re still 1/1000 to win it which tells you everything you need to know

 

[DTKOAG]

Too many shithouses in that team today.
Hate early k.o’s

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Not sure how

Sterling
Ake
Torres

Are tired

As for Fernandinho I for one hope he signs an extension

I repeat: “...players are tired and probably more frustrated than we are, so right after the game...”

I’m going to assume they were ALL tired after the game, esp the players who don’t play 90 mins too often,

This ^^^^

Can’t understand why he is not being picked tbh .

 

[Badensbluemoon]

Can’t understand why he is not being picked tbh .

Not a chance with Guardiola in charge, too young and inexperienced, but imo he should be featuring in a few games, like todays when we are very wasteful

 

[blueparsman]

Was a shit performance at a time a win is important to keep the momentum. Normally I’m ok with bad day at office but That pissed me right off.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Can’t understand why he is not being picked tbh .

Particularly with Aguero being out, he was on the bench earlier in the season so why not now?

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

I repeat

How the fuck could Sterling be tired

Ake was taken off and Torres did fuck all except score the goal

Stones must be floored

He was a man possessed today and worked his bollocks off

 

[wilton st blue]

Crap.

Wasn't bothered about the result too much before the game but up against 10 men for 45mins, we have to be winning that.

I certainly was get the league wrapped up then play the second string far from over yet

 

[Northerndave]

Omitted to say well done Leeds -they defended robustly and showed what speed and space can do up front.

Fuck off, a cheating dirty disgrace of a team. Parked the fucking bus.

No offence mind

 

[BlueRockape]

When I saw the team....it was on the cards : (

 

[MCFC1993]

It's over.

 

[Theo555]

Sterling was atrocious

 

[WallyA]

Sometimes these bad days happen.

The number of shots is misleading, as while we did have some good chances, it wasn't as many as that makes it seem, our xG was about 2, and we scored 1, should have scored a few more perhaps, but it happens. Leeds scoring their only 2 shots is more annoying imo.

Pep did nothing wrong, the fringe players playing together looked odd... expectedly. But they needed minutes. We got away with heavy rotation against Fulham and Leicester, and didn't today, was bound to happen when we rotate that much. Lacking the big creators like KdB and Mahrez, while putting Cancelo out wide hindered making more quality chances.

Of course we should feel upset, but don't let it hang you, move on from it, Dortmund and Chelsea were the priorities, there was a reason for the rotation.
