Even at 1-0 up with 5 mins to go. Why are we lumping corners into the box when we hadn’t done that all game. A corner can be risky if they clear. We are so stupid this season at game management.
 
From shite to sublime and back, over the decades we've been there done that.. This time, it's different, somehow. Not a clue why. Or even if it's fixable. Unforced errors, continually failing to deal with basic "twat it up the pitch" opposition tactics, aimless corner-kicks, confusion and chaos is our default setting. A wild guess, with no basis in fact whatsoever, is Pep cracking up under the self-imposed pressure. Supremely gifted individuals can be prone to mental crises in the pursuit of perfection. The players would be acutely aware if that is the case....When players suffer burn-out, it shows in pretty obvious ways, they can be rested.. A manager does not have this life-boat, even if they did, would Pep take it ? Love him to bits, and would like nothing more than to see him lifting the club back to the pinnacle he has graced for a decade.

Well Pep needs to step in and say sorry Im choosing Dias I need leaders to get this team fighting for each other again , bollocks to letting the players decide we need whats best for the club not whos best pals with most of the squad

Agree that the manager should choose ‘HIS’ Captain.

Agree with most of that apart from the point about Haaland. He is not the ‘elephant in the room’. He is NOT the problem. The problem is our current set up is not conducive to creating many opportunities. How many chances did we create today or against Palace and Juventus. We know the reasons why and hopefully we get some of our injured players back soon.

Only injured players are Rodri..Ake and Akanji.
Not sure injured players are the problem.
He never runs, got bullied by Harry fucking Maguire yesterday.
His goals are great but give me prime Aguero anyday

Brain farts happen, but you concentrate, man up and take the point, what happened for their winner was shameful

For their winner .... ANY other teams defenders in the Premier league would have moved towards, covered, and cleared Martinez's punt towards Diallo ... but we inexplicably just left a huge gap for him to run into and cause havoc instead ..... Dias, Gvardiol, or any City defender could have made a serious effort to stop that ball reaching Diallo, but we just fell asleep.

I never thought I would see a worst double mistake in 10 seconds than Jamie pollock vs QPR but Nunes did it yesterday. What a complete tool.

Yep agreed ...... if we had Rodri back, and maybe the likes of Zubimendi alongside him , we would see see the chances count increase, and, in turn, more chances created for Haaland ...... instead, all Haaland sees now is, Bernardo creating next to nothing, Foden flitting in and out of games, and De Bruyne rarely even managing to finish a match!

Oh for the days when we took it to the corner flag at OT to take the piss/ run the clock down

Ake, Akanji and to a lesser degree Stones are the only ones really out now (not counting Rodri), get them back like the Forest game and it gives the midfield confidence of a string back line should the ball come on the counter. We looked great against Forest then Ake goes down and then Akanji so our defence is screwed again leading to the rabbit in headlights when we lose a ball, there’s zero confidence we can get it back or retain it with what we currently have. If we could get a run of games with 4 CB we can put a decent enough run to get top 4. If we are constantly having to mess with the back 4 we will be fucked.

Totally agree.
Haaland has been part of the problem the way I see it.
We’re not playing his game, so he isn’t playing ours, is the way I see it.
Doku is trying hard and is the only one consistently getting to the byline. Haaland never makes a near post run to make it easy for Doku on his weaker foot. He hides at the back post behind the keeper and two defenders. Damn near impossible to pick out. Makes Doku look worse than he actually is.
His hold up play is terrible and his pressing is half hearted at best.
He doesn’t look interested in the fight we need at the moment.
The whole team is pedestrian but he walks more than most.

Aguero wouldn't have got away with this

Is the title defence by the rags in Moyes' season currently the worst on record? We're on course (on current form) to obliterate it, mind.

So fucking what. Jesus christ.
Have those cunts won 4 in a row?

Talk about glass half full. Sorry but if we have a shitty sesson then so be it. People need to accept this team has run its course and we need new pacey young players

Apart from the result and the piss poor performance now I've watched it. The thing that pisses me off is why do we let these cunts comeback every time.

Like that **** in a horror movie you think is dead we resurrect the bastard to bite us in the arse. I just want that fucking club of rag bastards to fuck off and die. Isn't too much to ask is it?

True but what do you see as their long term progression prospects ?


They are only a " one off " performance club adored by the media and dumbest fuckers known to man.

The problem is injured players are continually breaking down again, therefore the defence and midfield is continually being unsettled. We created nothing yet again. Added to the fact that our wingers offer very little and their sloppiness in possession it is clear why we are not utilising Haaland effectively. He does run but we don’t play that way to get the best of him. Hopefully with Foden over his illness/poor form things will start to improve. Aguero was levels above anything we’ve ever had upfront, a bit unfair to compare the two.

For me Bernardo is the ‘Elephant in the room’. He’s been bang average for a while now and looks unhappy. He says all the right things, but he is just as guilty as anybody.
