how bad is kdb injury I dindt watch the game

 

[dhruvblue]

It's surely a surprise that with likes of Sterling and Jesus and Torres we have reached this far. What a pathetic show barely tested Kepa and made 0 good chance.

Get some Cole Palmers and Delaps and Mcatees in place of these passengers

 

[HelloCity]

We’ll sacrifice and gamble next Sunday in order to be ready for PSG as well.

 

[city saint]

piss poor from the start too many changes

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Imagine watching these clowns up front and not wanting Harry Kane. I’d take Danny Ings aswell

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Completely accept we are human and cannot win everything. Can't accept the lack of effort or quality from many, particularly Torres and Sterling. And the cup keeper policy was gonna catch up with us eventually.

Emergency loan for Sterling please.

 

[Homar]

We had far too many passengers in the game. I won't list them all, but I can't not mention Torres who genuinely impressed me with just how anonymous he was. Quite incredible how he lasted so long in the game. Nothing went right for Sterling. The effort was there, but the execution was well below par. Foden was the only player that can be happy with how they performed. I thought he was excellent from the moment he came on. We had absolutely zero offensive output until he was substituted on. Disappointing game, but it's not all that surprising considering the number of changes made and factoring in tiredness.

 

[flyer]

Please don't play Torres, Sterling or Mendy again this season. I would rather play tired players than them fuckers.

Agreed. Torres and Mendy need to go in the summer. As for Sterling, get rid if we get the right offer. If not give him some time to sort his head out, but definitely no new contract until he shows improvement

 

[CatMan]

I'm trying to look for positives and I'm struggling. Just thankful no fan paid to watch that shite. Guardiola's fault with that selection. We offered nothing. Start with a 2 DFM's and a KDB that looked lazy, the add a sprinkle of that clown Sterling and a poor Ferran then we were doomed. Mendy was crap as ever, and any housewife who may have had to watch that will be wondering how the fuck we are top of the league. Champions League you're having a laugh, and we could even struggle in the Premier League now.

 

[phargrave]

Fernandinho was up front for the last 6 minutes, and foden dropped right back to create from deep. Why would Pep not just take a knackered Dinho off for an in form Mahrez for the last 5/10 mins?

Mendy is pathetic and offers nothing.

Sterling is pathetic and offers nothing.

Jesus isn’t much better, but at least he gives it 100%.

Absolutely crap

Jesus was fuckin garbage, Foden showed the lot of them up. As one poster said dud more on 30 mins than the rest did in 90

 

[Withnail]

Very poor performance, never looked like scoring. Really hope Kev's injury is nothing serious. Need to win on Wednesday now.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Terrible performance by a team that didn’t put a shift in, I don’t think Chelsea played that great at all but we gave them a 75 minute head start, the rest was a fucking formality .. !
So fed up giving another final up with such a piss poor show..
it didn’t have to be this way, which makes it that much harder to bear ..

 

[scousemanc]

At no point did you think City should win that game. Can't remember when that happened. Capitulation from before the kick off

 

[Tb1981]

There were some real stinkers but Torres's performance was simply unacceptable.

Invisible
Not fast... not hard...not arsed

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

The proof will be in the pudding. If we win the league and Champions League on the back of resting players in the domestic cups it'll be completely justified

 

[jrb]

Another Leeds.

Pep is human after all.

 

[PragueBlue]

Another Lyon moment for Pep. One holding player all season and today two against a team that wanted to bypass and play over the top. Absolutely baffling

Played 2 DMs against Leicester and it worked ok.

 

[lancs blue]

I'm not saying Pep set out to lose that game but I think it was the one he was least worried about losing in the run-in.

 

[bluemoon32]

See the Mendy comments but Sterling & Torres were far far fucking worse absolutely dog shit

Sterling is a waste of a shirt at the moment, shouldn't be near the starting first team

 

[kevreeves]

There are 3 players in this squad who should be nowhere near the team at this stage of the season! Every game is(was) vital and Sterling, Mendy and Torres give us absolutely nothing. Pep picked all 3 today, we got what we deserved!
