Thing is

I don't want to be in controversy but the Gary Neville looking mf'er at the end of Chessy video really annoyed me

We as City fans have been super spoiled and don't appreciate the stuff this team has done before

F that guy with his opinion cause the stuff he says is absolute bs

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

There is no solution to this

The players are done.....big players are finished....been saying it since the start of the season....Yes we are missing rodri BUT there is a bigger set of problems...
KDB, Gundo are both finished...for me I would drop them both now and play kids in their place for the rest of the season....they are absolutely pointless and we are playing with two less players in midfield every week.....they have been exposed time and time again week in and out....not just today - a better team would have scored more against us today and taken the game to us from the off.
Grealish -Ive said from day one with him - he offers zero attack or defensively. - he is the biggest mistake our club have ever made post takeover.
Walker - everyone can see it - he is done....he has lost confidence and he knows it as well....and the other solution in rico is no bettter if not worse.

Stones and AKe are pointless at this point also as they cannot stay fit for more than a few weeks at a time...less with Stones.

The problems are huge and are way bigger than the game today - they have been there all season for everyone to see. ...no midfield and no fullbacks.....

A huge rebuild is needed in the summer and it is not going to happen over the winter period.

Silly post. We don’t have the squad size to completely drop KDB, Gundo, Walker and Grealish,

Your point......

Fickle fans- gve your head a wobble acting as if anyone on here has the first clue about football to the level these players/manager are playing at- self inflated opinions of yourselves and what you think you deserve to see

Surely Nunes falls under that or is he exempt?

Yeh nunes knows more about how to play football than you regardless of his one mistake- sorry to break it to you mate.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Think we’ve kept too many players for too long. You’ve got to keep it fresh yeet we’ve flogged kdb, Bernardo

You bring in players the calibre of Nunes, you get what you deserve.

Recruitment has just been woeful the last 2/3 summer

I'm not sure we should even pin our hopes on a rebuild in the coming transfer windows.

Can we really trust the current regime given their incredibly poor judgement with both incoming signings and the players we've allowed to leave in the last couple of years?

 

[Roachy]

It's going to be a tough nights sleep

Shitty feeling in the morning as well.

I called them out at the game as well. I don't know if you were there or not and I'm not calling you out if you weren't,

but you see so much more live than you see on the TV. You see more of the body language, and the desire to win a 50/50 ball or close and attacker down.

But I do agree, and have been saying myself, that there have been serious shortcomings at the top level. Someone at the game today told me their pal worked at the club around the time of the takeover. Garry Cook called everyone together at Carrington and said that the plan was to win the CL and several PL titles by 2025. We've done that, but it's not clear that we reevaluated our strategy in the last few years. We've rested on our laurels and are seeing the outcome of doing that.

I've speculated there's more focus on CFG than on City itself. Txiki has admitted the failings. There's even question marks over Pep's ability to motivate these players. This is why this situation feels different and more dangerous than previous rebuilds when we've had to replace the likes of Kompany, Fernandinho, Silva, Ageuro and others. We actually did that and got even better but the replacements in the current crop look distinctly second rate. If we don't start getting it right, it could be a long road back.

This together with charges had made the top brass think too much about the bottom line imo

The thing is we have the absolute ability to play quick football. And good football. But the only logical assumption is we're told not too. And that falls firmly at the feet of the manager.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

The refresh needs to start with the coach in my opinion

Why has it been bricked again?

 

[Mon Autre]

The refresh needs to start with the coach in my opinion

I'm open to that tbh. If we knew he was staying for 5 years more I'd stick cos I think there's time to rebuild and move forward. We know it's the beginning of the end right now though so I think there's a case for getting on with it

 

[red 2 hats]

What's the saying, your only as good as your last game, well currently we're shite, in all my years I don't think I've seen a City team with as little fight, we go behind and we just collapse, a weak under belly, in the last few weeks we've threw away leads in various games, if we didn't have points on the board we'd be relegated, the squad rebuild is bigger than any of us expected.

 

[simon23]

It’s fucking wank and it hurts but Jesus Christ, 100 points, domestic quad, treble, four in a row! Let’s cut the lads and Pep some slack for everything they’ve done in recent times!! We’ll be back!

Not with this incarnation of a team we wont.....its going to need a rebuld....

This is not about the result today...take the performance out of context - forget it was a derby at home - that performance was one of a team which is finished....no drive, no graft, no creativity, no power or passion.....leaderless o on the pitch....the team has aged and the core of it is finished at the top level...

All that you mentioned above was great but its History - its in the past.

Yes Pep deserves slack....but there is no room for sentiment with players......KDB, Gundo, Walker, Grealish, Bernardo. - all need to be moved on this summer....Add Ake and Stones to that list as well as they are pointless as they are never fit long enough to contribute significantly

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Exactly. Let's not be too hasty to judge if it was a mistake. After all 'Nunes knows more about how to play football than you'. Sorry to break it to you mate

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Just too many players not good enough now for various reasons. Some have been great servants but age catches up with us all. Some just terrible signings.

We need to replace:

Walker
Grealish
Gundo
KDB
Doku
Savinho
Nunes

The worry is based on our player acquisitions in the last two years I have zero faith that we will sign players of the right calibre to get us winning again.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Rock bottom now after that disgrace, no excuses it was an abysmal performance. Pep on borrowed time because he simply has no answers how to get us out of this shit. Even at 1-0 up we were piss poor, playing against another piss poor rag outfit.
Haaland has given up, such a lazy fucker today looking half arsed. Absolutely livid with that shite!

 

[Stelea]

Just got home. What an Absolute predictable shit show. Even upto 88 minutes we were woeful and played with zero enterprise.
Never ever under Pep have I seen a performance like the 2nd half.
Why wasn’t Stones in earlier (he was even stood ready to come in for an age)
Cannot see a way out of this situation with these players. Hope Pep can.
Walker, Doku diabolical

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

One thing that puzzled me and the people around me was that united are the second worst team in the PL at defending corners yet they scored the equaliser when we pissed about at a corner.

Instead of launching the ball into the danger area we went short and moved the ball further and further back, then Nunes fucked up big time with that back pass.

Not been many years then

 

[Briggs1969]

thing is now Peps signed a two year deal he only has 3 transfer windows, two of those windows will be in January to rebuild a complete new side, can it be done in that short ti,me i dont think it can so then we get another manager who wants to do things his way and it all starts again, were in a dire mess and i think if we lose to villa pep will walk and thats if its not tomorrow

A big call that my friend. The players need to turn this around and soon.

 

[Roachy]

The thing is we have the absolute ability to play quick football. And good football. But the only logical assumption is we're told not too. And that falls firmly at the feet of the manager.

We're basing so much of our game on possession. The big problem at the moment is we're conceding it too often, and on many occasions under no pressure.
