PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[halfcenturyup]

I would doubt that your management will be giving too much away to the players but the fact is that the IC despite rumours to the contrary have now heard the evidence brings a different perspective.
Hey all this is speculation but there is something significantly impacting and sorry I don’t think it is coincidence that your current poor run of form broadly aligned with the commission sitting

Sorry, nothing personal and I normally like your posts with the experience you have, but your speculation is complete bollocks. Anybody who is affected by the fact the panel started its hearing, or has finished its hearing is an idiot. And these players aren't idiots having been through the UEFA fiasco and the CAS appeal. The 115 case is the same as it was in February 2023, the year these players won the league btw. And since this whole thing started in 2018 the team has won 5 out of the last 6 titles. It has had, imho, no effect on the team whatsoever and there is no evidence at all to support the supposition.

Thats ridiculous and misses the point. All injuries are not equal, Saka having his 19th "knock" of the season and limping off is not equal to every defender at this football club being either injured or unfit, missing Rodri and KDB for almost the entire season so far.

Don't patronise me with the "oh well all teams get injuries". Yeah they do. But nothing like the scale of what we've dealt with this season. In our most important game of the season, our midfield was a geriatric backup player and a teenage right back while the person playing at right back was literally injured and hadn't trained for two weeks and we had one fit player in our back six outside the keeper.

Abso-f**king-lutely..

Everyone needs to calm down and see how the mop flops in January/February. Get everyone (obviously, apart from Rodri) back and functioning, then see where we are, especially in the Premiership.

And also, ignore the media and fans of other clubs acting like WUMs with this latest stupid iteration of slagging City off, aka the 'your players have dropped off because of the 115 charges' garbage.

Clearest example of the logic fallacy 'Post hoc, ergo propter hoc' I think I've ever encountered.

Just ignore the WUMs and get behind the team, everyone. From hereon in, it should be 'heads down, no nonsense, mindless boogie' until we get through this patch and start to scare the bejabers out of the Red Scouse Filth and The Tarquins..

Maybe the players have been told that things went well for us at the hearing and because of that, there's no siege mentality anymore - a siege mentality that drove us all the way to the treble in the wake of the charges being announced - and because of that our form has gone to shit ;)

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

All clubs suffer injuries and whilst you clearly have clearly missed players like Rodri this table points to the fact that the number of incidents suffered by you this season isn’t close to the worse

Premier League Injury Table 2024/25​

Which team has suffered the most injuries this season?

Position	Team	Total Injuries in 24/25
1	Arsenal	24
2	Brighton	22
3	Tottenham	21
4	Aston Villa	19
5	Ipswich	19
6	Man Utd	19
7	Man City	18
8	Chelsea	17
9	Crystal Palace	14
10	Newcastle	14
11	Liverpool	14
12	Wolves	12
13	Brentford	11
14	Leicester	11
15	Nottingham Forest	10
16	Everton	10
17	Southampton	9
18	Fulham	8
19	Bournemouth	8
20	West Ham	5

But it depends where the injuries occur not the number
Best player in the world Rodri injured his replacement Kovacic injured
Could Liverpool still win without Salah VVD and TAA ?
Well we’ve had Stones KDB and Rodri out mostly for all the season
If you watched last night we were arguably not that bad
Haaland scores the 1 v 1 we win that game
The problem is injuries loss of form and confidence and a little bit of bad luck

it could be multiple things mate, could be a few players know they will be departing end of season so to an extent have downed tools

Found this hilarious. Great example of use & abuse of statistics. No indication on the table of how long the injury is for. Pretty immature & naive post really

Or maybe it's to do with having almost all our 1st choice defence and midfield missing for a large chunk of the games we have played.
Maybe it's to do with a few players being out of form and that aligned to the players missing makes the problem much worse.
Maybe you should actually think for yourself instead of reading the shite that is published in the redtop news and social media ..just a thought.

That’s a fucking wank out of context bullshit list.

It doesn’t take into account that players are playing injured so we can field a team, it doesn’t take into account Rodri. Kovacic, Akanji, Stones as 4 players who could play the 6 injured. I could go on.

Strangely Saliba and Gabriel always pick up injuries in games where Arsenal are winning with 15 minutes remaining.
Then after two minutes treatment they go down again (coincidentally always when Arsenal are in possession)

No wonder they're top of this list

Think personal pride should drive someone on but the look gundogan gave walker said enough

 

[hello]

But it depends where the injuries occur not the number
Best player in the world Rodri injured his replacement Kovacic injured
Could Liverpool still win without Salah VVD and TAA ?
Well we’ve had Stones KDB and Rodri out mostly for all the season
If you watched last night we were arguably not that bad
Haaland scores the 1 v 1 we win that game
The problem is injuries loss of form and confidence and a little bit of bad luck

The luck thing at both ends can't be helping confidence, every block going to safety, a header straight at keeper bounces over line, the 2nd goal total miss kick off the shin, had he connected as intended its going well wide etc.

can we get back on track with this thread. It's lost it's way

 

[Blueknows]

Exactly! Just get it over and done with one way or another. I’m not having it that this shit isn’t behind our collapse. Even if pep and the players don’t know what’s going on the uncertainty of it all must be having an effect

red cartels plan all along , to tarnish our achievements and mess with the players/ staffs heads

And other teams have now lost their fear of us.
