...because having a small squad is what Pep likes, and lets be fair it's not done too badly has it.

The main issue is Rodri. We lost the best player in the world and you're right, the club should have done everything to get a player to rotate with him this summer gone. It was a bad decision not to.

But that is a major problem when you have had the same players for over 4 seasons
Pep should know having a small squad that has been asked to play 100% at both club level and international levels that something has to give or break.
 
11 games on and what fucking lessons have they learned. The only people who are really suffering here is the arguably 30k real mancs who stick by our club. Remember we are here for life most last 10 years at the most and make a decent living out of us at the end of the day they are the “ takers” we are the givers money and emotional sacrifices
Hope Foden and Walker are suffering tonight …. R they fuck
 
Hard to know what to add, to be honest.

Shades of 'Apart from the shooting, Mrs Lincoln, how did you feel about the play?'

Let us be honest, even Pep finds it difficult to know what to advise. The situation is unique in his experience.

Two poor teams (made up of wonderful players, mind), both playing very badly - I honestly can't ever remember seeing such a bad United team, by the way.

Anyway, City's confidence is on the floor, which, I suppose is a lesson in life. Even at that level, once your confidence goes (whatever line of work you're in), it's a slippery slope. Everything that was easy yesterday (well, last season) is now difficult. Everyone needs that extra touch. The angles, those little triangles, that were once everywhere, have all closed up.

We'll get out of it. But it looks like it is going to be a horrible season. The team is going to have to adapt. Thing is, it looked like we had gone full ugly-win pragmatism. Only for poor old Nunes to leave us all prey, as they say, to conflicting emotions. In his defence, an honest examination of what he actually did over the course of the 90 minutes will discover more to praise than to blame.

Been trying to think of other runs like this. And how we got out of them. Anyone remember us going to Goodison Park with Alan Harper as a sweeper?

Anyway, brace yourselves, Blues! Stand firm, Men! Sell your lives dearly! Don't give in now!

A couple of things, though. What does it mean to 'lose the dressing room'? Serious question. How far are we now from whatever that actually means?

And why not bring young O'Reilly on for a run? The crowd reaction alone would almost make it worth a try. Just saying.

I amazed how many of our fans think you can be at the top of your game for over 5 seasons and not get to the point of physical and mental fatigue.

You can clearly see the players are knackered with physically and mentally. I think Pep is struggling to.

Like I said I don’t expect us to win all the time but I’m bored of hearing excuses for most of this squad

I can say the schedule is tough, I can say injured players - but NO! I’m the boss, and I’m not good enough - it’s as simple as that! I’m not doing well, that is the truth!”

Pep tonight he doesn’t know how to fix it.

He needs to be much more pragmatic about team selection and tactics. I think that's now 25 goals conceded in the last 11 games, which is fucking embarrassing, and completely unsustainable.

We've all known we've been shit at the back for weeks but nothing changes tactically. We still play this crazy high line and leave space outside, while getting no pressure on the ball.

We are so easy to attack.

Please say nowt Pep.

Anything you say will be deliberately mis interpreted and used against you and the club by a venal, malicious media.

Silence is golden !!
 
I wonder if quite a few of the players know this is their last season and have transitioned into “Fuck It” mode?

A fair assessment

Having played to a reasonable level, losing the dressing room is looking at the coach and not buying into what he is telling you to do. Thinking he is getting it totally wrong.

I dont believe this could be the case for city. I think hes just squeezed them dry and they have nothing left to give. Which is why the squad shouldve been refreshed with a player or 2 each season
 
I decided to get home from the game, have dinner and a couple of drinks before dipping in here again.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON ?

That was piss poor. We are mentally and physically weak. It kills me to say this but we have too many players are past their best and need to be replaced, we have too many players who are just not good enough for this team and too many players who are just not performing at the required level.

To capitulate the way we did today is a disgrace. Something needs to change quickly. If we hadn’t had a decent start to the season we’d be in a relegation battle on this form. Just take that in !
