Is Issa Kabore that much worse than Walker, genuinely asking.

Saw the line-up didn't bother watching, Walker, Lewis, Gvardiol + Gudogan and Nunes in Midfield, recipe for disaster. Get used to it, this is the standard for the rest of the season, we'll have constant injuries and our razor-thin squad will be ran ragged. Don't expect any signings in Jan from the board.

Didn't bother watching lol.

Fuck off. Blue my fucking arse.

We don't want and need pricks like you supporting our club so kindly fuck off back to where you came from.

 

[MadchesterCity]

We were that good, I could wank with my hands tied behind my back.

Who needs hands when you have Pep

 

[CTID1090]

Bobb was the plan? As a striker ?

Honestly, Pep’s entire philosophy, and the reason for all of this success has been the fact the players don’t ever feel comfortable in their starting position, somebody was always gonna push you to keep your place in the team. Haaland’s maybe slight loss in form and attitude is probably partly due to 1 fatigue and two not having someone pushing him to keep his place.

 

[makinghistory]

Not bad seeing as Pep only seems to be picking 8 players every game

Walker , Gundo and Sav may aswell stay on the coach

Savvy wouldn't score if the opposition played without a goalkeeper. Sani 10 goals a season. Mahrez 10 goals a season. These facts are one of the reasons we are struggling.

Just like every game since Ipswich at home shite again

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I think I see where you might have gone wrong there, mate.

By failing to watch the game?

Strange thing to say if you are a blue

 

[City Man]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You showed ‘em you showed ‘em all even if we didn’t beat them.
You showed that load of bescumberring, ructabundes who know nowt and say even less. The shower of codswallops.
As for the Specsavers needing, whistle blowing quisquillian, rampallians they need kicking from one end of the football pitch to the other. And that from a woman who does not believe in violence but could suspend belief for the time it takes to do the kicking!!! Rico Lewis is not a dirty player and did not deserve that even the BBC pundits agreed. You lot of shiitake mushrooms just cannot allow yourselves to know who you are dealing with. MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

We are still the best and will remain so.

Sorry for the rant but I hate being cheated and that is how I felt we were today. :-(

Eccles Blue - you are Charles Dickens and I claim my £5.

Read many of your posts over the years but this one is a tour de force . For those who who may be interested here is a translation:

Bescumberring: discharge mature upon

Ructabundes: gas bags

Quisquillian: without value or importance

Rampallian: scoundrel, wretch, rascal

I bid you good night madam.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Why can't we play any of the youth lads like a wright or O'Reilly in the middle just to give us some legs we won't know if they are good enough if they don't play it's obviously not working with what we are doing now

O'Reilly looked class preseason

 

[Barcon]

By failing to watch the game?

By thinking he’s a Blue

 

[Blue Calx]

Pep having a go at the ref at the end.The bloke is a fuckin pleb.Fuckin blowing up when we broke free.There was at least another 30 secs to be added on.The **** hates us.Was there for all to see.

We were away.

 

[chickaroon]

Whatever, I'll take the point. But that was fucking shocking in the end.

There are so many "first team" players giving us absolutely fuck all at the moment. Less than fuck all, to be honest. They're tired, over-played, and lacking the hunger you need to play for a Pep team.

Walker, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Gvardiol - all of them have been absolutely terrible in so many games recently. Giving the ball away constantly, making huge mistakes, and gifting it to the other team at all times.

Palace created nothing. We gifted them the first goal and then passed it straight to them for the second goal. That sort of shit is unacceptable but Pep seems to think it's fine despite it happening 10 times per game at the moment?

Meanwhile "squad players" like Ortega, Doku, Nunes, and Grealish are giving us so much more and carrying an actual bloody threat when they come on. It's time for Pep to really shake things up just before January imo.

Ortega
Akanji, Stones, Dias, Lewis
Kovacic, Grealish
Foden, De Bruyne, Doku
Haaland

Play that XI until the window opens. Let Gundogan and Walker save themselves from any more embarrassment, give Bernardo a proper rest, drop Gvardiol until he gets his fucking act together. Give the others a chance!

And if Kovacic isn't fit for the Manchester derby, what does Gundogan currently offer us that Wright or O'Reilly wouldn't give us? He gets caught dawdling at least twice per half. Pep needs to put a rocket up his arse.

It will be wonderful when we can play that team and they are all fit.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

lol

Fucking snow flake....now is the time for backbone not backdown.

If you're a season ticket holder, i'll take over your ticket pro rata so you can fuck off now and save yourself the tremors !!

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

We were away.

We weren’t

 

[ArniArason]

Nah, even with all players available we are not guaranteed to win at Palace. Remember 21/22 season, the game was 0:0, and all stars, including Rodri, played then.

Some of the recent mistakes are due to several players being overplayed, and some other players being oldish.

Fair dos but our complete lack of passing accuracy (something we are renound for) is concerning

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

By thinking he’s a Blue

Naivety on a City forum. I need to wake up;-)

 

[skillman]

Doku and Grealish were the two standouts midweek because of being direct, aggressive and fast in their attacking.

Everything that was missing today.

A shame really.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Just a question. A real question, because I haven't been able to see the match yet. Is there not at least a possibility that Rico got the yellow for dissent? Because if that's so, he should have been canny enough to keep his mouth shut, especially if he'd already been warned about it by the ref. I'm just asking…
In any case, there is no guarantee that with Rico still on the pitch we would have taken the three points. Yes, momentum was apparently with us. A thousand times, I've seen momentum with a team in the last ten minutes, them wearing out the woodwork — post, bar, everything, complete sitters missed etc. — and not taking all the points.
The real questions, the truly disturbing ones, are: why over and over and over, are we conceding first, and that to a team on their very first attack, let alone shot? Why are we conceding so many goals in general (we've conceded 21, the rags — the fucking rags! who are in fact shite, Amorim has almost said as much in more diplomatic words — have conceded 16)? And why are we relying in the first place on someone playing at full back to save a point for us, and another, Gvardiol, to take three points for us? In other words, where have all the goals from midfield gone, unless Kev's around to do the business?

Please advise where you watched as I couldn't get any of my usual "sources" to work.
