Ref was poor but not to blame. We are done in the league this year. After January we will be fighting for top 4.
You call me thick then come out with this guff.

We're done in the league but not even halfway through yet?

And after January we will be fighting for top 4?

I've read some of your previous posts, you are an absolute clown.

No i take that back as clowns make me laugh, you're a bit of a nobhead.
 
The best teams/squads have always had players in there that are somewhat weaker than the others. At City we have seen the likes of Delph, Zin etc do a job. The difference was those guys were more often than not surrounded by absolute class. The best sides can carry one or two. What they can’t do is carry half a dozen.

Pep is overseeing a massive downgrade in the overall quality of our side and I don’t know why. We literally have a brand new defence and it’s got significantly worse. It doesn’t matter that Ake and Akanji are doing ok. They are not as good as those they are replacing. We have players sat on the bench, who have consistently delivered more than those he is giving game time to.

It’s not rocket science that replacing world-class players with ok players means the side gets worse.
I don't believe that we have done that at all. The side that won the league last season wasn't any stronger than this overall. You can talk about Ake and Akanji but the players they are replacing are injured (assuming you meant Dias and Laporte).

We just haven't yet found the right formation/tactics to get the best out of Haaland, whilst not losing out in other areas IMO. It will come (hopefully!).
 
I thought Pep's comments before the game about leaving before the end of his contract were strange. Why give our critics any encouragement? That together with the performance today and his apparent apathy/ unwillingness to change things from the bench has me more than a little concerned.
He’s from Barcelona you know

The fact is despite a piss poor performance, without that Rodri pass we would have won.

Got to cut out the silly errors.
Be nice if we went out and bought some cover for Rodri to give him a rest now and then.

Oh wait a minute we did.....

He is a ****. Ignore him.
 
I can’t help reminiscing about our Centurions squad. Simply a superb team and the current squad even with the Viking seems to lack the panache of the Centurions team.
Mind you the shitehouse refs of today are appallingly bad in comparison to bygone years.
 
we have overcome points deficits like this before. I strongly believe that in the New Year we are good enough to go on a run and we can still win the league. If we lose to Arsenal then they will have won it - we won't be gifting it to any one.

Am also sure Pep with Haaland in his golf bag will be going balls deep for the CL this year too.
 
It isn’t happy clapping. Some on here seem to have not witnessed our league triumphs, and how we’ve had to fight to get them.

Some on here seem to think we’ve never won a title, and that we’re throwing this one away not even at the half way stage.

It isn’t happy clapping. It’s knowing what we are capable of and what we’ve done to secure past titles. It’s also not being a total wet lettuce of a fanny when all isn’t going our way, or the players dare show their human side and have an off day.
It does seem many have developed rather short memories and quick tempers as of late.

They also seem to be blind to what seems to me to be fairly obvious tactics from league officials to make this campaign as frustrating for us as possible.

I don’t think we played well today, to be clear, but some of the “the league is lost” and “we’re a shadow of ourselves” comments are rather ridiculous given all evidence to this point.

That said, it’s not like very similar proclamations weren’t made in other seasons. I think there is just a shifting element among supporters that are pessimists and that’s ok. City perhaps has more than others because of our history and it’ll take a long time for that to change.
 
No need to panic, yes, Arsenal are better than us at the moment but Pep will sort it out, thats why he is paid the big bucks.
Far too reliant on an ageing KDB, we are too slow & methodical, really need the energy & pace of players like Foden & Alvarez
