[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Nice try, not quite

 

[bitterblue78]

Unbelievable that pep hasnt changed anything yet

 

[Josh_D]

I wasn’t watching with stress before but I can watch without stress now. Early in the season. Can’t win ‘em all but will just will the lads on. All I can do now.

 

[Keeper!]

Bernardo's head is in Barca already FFS

 

[jollylescott]

Bernie should never again be played out wide.

Yep he’s not a winger

 

[Gabriel]

Not the first time we’ve scored up there early, failed to score a second when we could, and then capitulated.

 

[bluealf]

God how shit has Walker Pep been

Truth

 

[Bigga]

I would like to see Alvarez come on for Foden.

 

[LongsightM13]

Goalkeepers side too. Awful that.

Absolute nonsense

 

[whipper]

Bernardo looks disinterested...

 

[brummie blue]

This is peps worst performance for city today. Lack of plan & change in tactics is mad. Set us up to fail

We have about 6 analysts at the club who didn't manage to tell Pep that Saint Maxi plays every game like this so lets not give him half the pitch with no defenders to run at.

 

[RayCTID]

Thats not luck that was sheer stupidity and our fault not luck on Newcastles part.

Lucky for the Geordies he did that

 

[hertsblue]

Hopefully a wake up call with this shit tactic re fullbacks. Won at West Ham yet so did Brighton and Bournemouth but its not working v a decent team.
Team seems to be injury prone and ffs get some full backs who can defend

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Pep is human, that’s clear. This was completely the wrong team.

Looking at our very thin bench, I’m not sure what the right one would have been. We are not fit enough yet and they have taken advantage of it. Stones and Walker have been a mess.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Fighting for a draw.

 

[pudge]

We are absolutely shite

 

[Chippy_boy]

It isnt over yet

True, Newcastle have more goals in them

 

[stan bowles]

Stones should be dropped after his shit show today. If we didn't have so many injuries at CB I'd bench him.

 

[Blueknows]

Take off bernardo having mare tbf most.of them are

 

[jimharri]

Fine margins at the moment

I understand your point. But that comment is giving our performance a credibility (sort of) that it doesn't deserve.
