Oh it is, just because it isn't like the 90s or previous times doesn't make it not a crisis. Call it a modern day crisis if you will. The fun part is getting out of itI’ve been a City supporter since 1962, there is nothing like a crisis to get fans stirred up, and this, believe me, is nothing like a crisis.
So was I. Back of the north stand in block R. Was like watching pub football!I was there, we are not in crisis
Just for the youngsters who are panicking at the moment…I’ve been a City supporter since 1962, there is nothing like a crisis to get fans stirred up, and this, believe me, is nothing like a crisis.
After 4 titles on the trot it's not unreasonable to EXPECT an "off season" rather than accept. I was ecstatic when we finallly won the title in 2012 and everything since has just been a massive bonus. Not winning the title isn't the same as having an off season, I suppose winning no trophies could be called that. We'll be back 8-)This was always going to be a difficult season, but it has been made even harder with all the injuries, especially Rodri. I'm not happy about our current predicament, but after 4 PL titles on the trot I can accept an off season.
I don't think we will win the League, but I still expect us to get top 4 despite recent results. Hopefully we can bring in a midfield player in January and then refresh the squad next Summer.After 4 titles on the trot it's not unreasonable to EXPECT an "off season" rather than accept.

What year did you become a City fan ??
Forums, especially post result, give everyone the chance to let off steam, celebrate, commiserate, annihilate. Be fickle, irrationally blame or lambast. It’s part of the fun.
Imagine reading some of this stuff back in a few months. Was it a bad transfer policy or was it a bad transfer window? Were we protecting the club if we’re at the mercy of others with the charges? Or was it players wouldn’t commit? Or was it Pep wouldn’t and we weren’t going to sign players another manager might not want? Was Haaland being jokey with Salah or was he accepting he’d been outdone - he was in his face for the whole time he prepped for the pen ( sometimes a ‘fair fucks’ smile feels ok to me) Oscar Bobb has become a missing key link despite never being near the team, while Lewis has had such a long run of games he’s virtually played himself out of the team. KDB is leaving, or his injury is career over or he’s playing mind games for a contract and Pep is mad for leaving out Doku who many didn't want in the team months ago in front of Jack, who many wanted out but now can’t believe isn’t in. A month ago the debate was Gvardiol would be wasted at centre half and is key to our shape at left back but now should immediately be played in the position we bought him for. Which really means the position he played in, given Pep always saw him as LB.
Hindsight is always right. That’s why no matter what happens amidst the offloads we do as fans, what we’ve achieved since 2010/11 is without debate. Just factually record breaking and I suspect a lot more’s to come. It’s great to be blue.
