Time to stand up and be counted…..

I really hope Pep can somehow pull this around, and what could possibly be better to rebuild confidence than a good performance and a win at Anfield next week???

Right now you can only imagine the solemn and dejected mood that must be in abundance at our daily training sessions ....
If the players are fighters they will try to get their chins up. Confidence has obviously been affected but the lads can either lift their spirits or accept being losers.

Too man fans forget about all the trophies and rush out to call the players “spineless”. If we have a trophy free season this year we just have to live with it:
 
Last nights latest worrying City shambles, this time on 'our own patch' , was as embarrassing as almost any defeat that United suffered under Ten Hag .... from the 12th minute onwards we looked atrocious as Spurs confidence and purpose grew by the minute, and their positive football almost completely took over what was left of the game .... really poor passing, rank bad defending, no cohesion or fluency, no City player is playing well, unless Haaland scores nobody does, and I really can't see what Pep is gonna do to turn this alarming slump around at the minute ...... unless we astound everybody and manage to pull off a minor miracle, surely another confidence sapping loss, this time at Anfield, will be shortly on the cards.

I would have really liked to have added something positive about City in last night's confidence draining annihilation, but unfortunately I've been unable to think of anything!!
Stay off line then.

You certainly know about solemnity and dejection.

Misery has found a mate.

Stay off line !!
 
Just got to that point in life where I can’t tolerate being treated like shit. I have sacked Anfield off after 40 years on away visits. Last year got hassle from their scumbag fans on the train going and back, in the town centre, and outside the ground. Plus being ripped off by taxis etc. Just don’t need that in my life any more. Still love most away trips though.

Jesus fucking wept.
I wouldn't want you in the trenches with me.
Using words such as shambles, embarrasing are simply not fair.
It was a poor performance. I have just watched the goals conceded and the.chances we missed. We gave them 2 goals. We missed so many chances. It will change
 
The concerning thing for me is that when we’ve had bad runs of form in the past we know we could snap out of it cause we have players coming back,different solutions etc. I don’t see that now. You look at the midfield and who the fuck do you play there to stop us getting ran through. We just have to get to January and buy 2/3 players. Something we haven’t done before but I honestly think we won’t make top 4 if we don’t
 
Us older fans have seen far, far worse than we’re seeing right now.
But we’ve been spoilt beyond our wildest dreams.
So, now’s the time,
The players,
The manager,
The coaches,
The fans,
To get our shoulders back, chest out and to bloody stand up and be counted.
Today needs to be our 1998 York City result and Tuesday needs to be our Wrexham result. The start of something special.
We can do it. We’re going through a tough patch but we can definitely do it.
Win, lose or draw, we’ll be with you.
We fight to the end and now is the time we really need to fight.
Come on you blue boys.

Of course we're with City.

At the same time, pointing out what we think went wrong in this forum doesn't make us anti-City.
 
It's a shame the ticket pricing is what it is. My first instinct after last night was to try and get a ticket for the Feyernoord game, to show up and get behind the team, but there's only so much I'm willing to pay for football. Big month with Christmas coming up too. Sure a lot of people will be feeling the same.

JFE, Slabhead,Arnold,Dick van Knee, Davis, anyone of Chavskis 269 players.

Who,in addition to Zubamendi (who was coming on 1Jan before the dip) ????

Don't normally listen to TS but had it on driving back from the match, there was a caller who said exactly the same and he was a dipper fan, let that sink in for all those heading for the nuclear bunkers A Dipper could see it! Convert our early chances different game
 
Wow you are on a downer aren’t you?
We are MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LABD AND ALL THE WORLD!!!!!!
Dude - wtf are you smoking? I'd like some, very much.

We're fucking shit ATM. We're nowhere near the best in the world, let alone the land.

For me, I really hope that we finish top 4 - we might not.

City is my team and I'm going to route for them no matter what -at the same time, I strive to take an unbiased, critical view of City, with regard to performances and expectations.
 
Same yesterday as previous 4 games.We miss a few chances.Our opponents score against the run of play and the confidence seems to wane.We are still creating chances and someone's due a hammering.Hopefully that's the dippers

I have never smoked I just support the best team in the land and all the world and will keep the faith for another 65 yrs as I have done for the first 65!
Sorry but I feel this team have earned the right for my support after the 10 or so years of pleasure and dreams they have delivered.

I’m a ‘happy clappy’ fan I’m afraid. A much derided species. :-) ;-)

Cheers.

But you're conflating support for City with critical analysis of City.

I'm 100% a City fan - but I separate support from analysis.
 
There are reasons why nobody has ever won 4 or 5 on the bounce lots of them,until we did. What was never going to happen was 6 or 7 on the bounce,it just doesn’t ,so if we don’t win it this year that’s fairly normal,I ‘m fine with it.
Obviously this team as it is now,is reaching / has reached the end of it’s life.
The contracts situation with a few players gives us the chance this summer to refresh let 3 or 4 go ,bring 3 or 4 in, set us up for the next few years.The people that built the success of the last 10 years haven’t forgotten how,or stopped bothering.Think they know exactly where we are,and hoped to squeeze another year out ,Rodri has probably damaged that,but whatever.
Anyone that can’t handle a down year, then real life elite sport,and supporting one team probably isn’t for you.

Can we not skip to the game after Wrexham. It was a boxing day, lunchtime kick off and it pissed it down. Lol. At the time it just felt like another game and a mediocre performance. Hindsight tells us it was the start of the turnaround
.
 
Liverpool will absolutely spank us next week, title over
Alternatively, we beat the bastards, keep in touch, update the squad in January and catch them when they bottle it in the run in. We scrape through in the chumps league, but win it with a revitalised squad then destroy all in our path and become World Club champions again.........but yeah, you're probably right but a man can dream.
