[big gaz]

Come on Blue Boys and up the tempo and get this won !!!!!

 

[CityBluez]

We are burnt out

 

[dubblue]

They play like they know the title has been lost.

Yeh it definitely feels like that watching it

 

[ProofMCFC]

They play like they know the title has been lost.

Will stick pick their fucking wages up

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

A slightly out of date yoghurt poses more threat than us.

Ever since Gundogan came back into the side we turned to shit.

Everything slowed down, players moved to fit him in.

He has no urgency.

We need a goal and he passes back, every fucking time.

I’d only play him in a false nine where his late arrival into the box is decent, hard to see what else he offers, his best days are behind him

 

[Blu1]

Hearing Diaz on for ake which is crazy just play another striker & let Bernie sit in the middle. We don’t need 4 defenders tonight. Hope I’m wrong with this sub

 

[samuelyeboah]

When did we lose the title?

i mean, possibly in the next 45 minutes

 

[Homar]

Aguero barely featured in his last year. And Sane wanted to leave.

And the problems were visible then even though we had success. Obviously we couldn’t keep Sane, but we really should have replaced him with someone capable of carrying out his role.

 

[kanovic]

Dias coming on for Ake…

I think ake injured

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

We are brunt out

Ok Chris

 

[Blueknows]

Not enjoyed watching a game for a few weeks now sort it out Pep

 

[christened at st marks]

play like this vs Real Madrid, and second leg wont be important...

We wont thats the problem our focus is there

 

[clarion]

Dias coming on for Ake…

Good news. Cancelo left Stones right
Change brings nothing

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

We just need a Wellbeck last minute goal and this place had better start advertising a number for the Samaritans

 

[Fazz28]

anyone got a stream for the game? one I've used first half keeps stuttering

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

I'm at the game drinking my half time beer, I don't think we have been bad. Patient, breaking them down, literally everyone around me needs to calm down, as does everyone on here. We are probing and looking for gaps, we don't blow teams away in the first half.

The annoying thing about playing the patient game against teams like Brighton is that they really have nothing to gain or lose from sitting back, they aren't pushing for the UEFA/EUROPA positions and they aren't threatened by relegation either, so they would just sit back and fuck around all day. We need to force them, the patient game wouldn't work here.

 

[Blu1]

We are burnt out

Does seem that way & the question has to be the lack of subs used all season even when 2/3 up

 

[Goater=Legend]

Lack of confidence in front of goal throughout the team

 

[OntarioBlue]

Dias coming on for Ake…

Why, Ake isn’t the problem.

 

[Chippy_boy]

They play like they know the title has been lost.

For me, they just play like they've had it drilled into them that they must keep the ball at all costs. Even if that means not REALLY trying to create chances. We're just FAR too conservative in our play.

Fire a few shots in and create some DRAMA for fucks sake, out of which come mistakes and goals.
