Forty days and forty nights in the losing wilderness - preparation for our new beginning.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

You'll still be saying "It's just a blip" when we're just above the League 1 relegation zone.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Just to watch and not get his lovely kit muddy

Get fucked

 

[CTID1988]

Only just noticed that Foden is playing

 

[ufo]

duran is one of those shit players who somehow scores against us ffs

Copy and paste exercise from Sunday night and Monday.

He must be fuming. Best striker in the world living off scraps. Get him some service ffs. Painful to watch

Same shit every time. Dawdling our way up so they gave time to crowd him out and then we wonder why he isn't scoring.

He needs either a Silva/KDB type or something like the Sane/Sterling combo that could blitz round the outside on teams.

 

[CityDean]

Haaland is a huge part of the problem at the mo. He has just stopped moving, he never attacks a cross, hes static.

He needs calling out, his body language spells out hes sulking.

Id be sulking with the service he is getting. Midfield is absolutely pathetic. No crosses no through balls, he is living off scraps. It's on Pep, all our creators on the bench.

 

[wolviedinho]

Think we all need to accept that we are in a relegation scrap. Pep and relegation -:)

From treble to bottom 3 is a typical city story.

We don’t do things by half. It’s either total control or total collapse.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Stop making fucking excuses. Its getting boring. This isn't good enough, end of.

While it might seem like excuses, I'm more than happy with us having an average season, as long as we use whatever time we have left to introduce some hungry youngsters to the team and I'm not talking about Rico Lewis

 

[Ajm1985]

Ref needs to start carding the Villa players. So many fouls

 

[Tomblue]

What is Foden’s role in this system?

Walk onto the pitch, disappear for the full 90 mins. Clap the fans at the end, walk off.

 

[argyle]

Stop making fucking excuses. Its getting boring. This isn't good enough, end of.

Who said its good either?

I'm just not throwing toys out of the pram and making over the top criticism of players and the club because I can't deal with a bad run.

If you want to do that then go ahead

 

[dubblue]

Teams just let us pass it around aimlessly knowing they can pick is off.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Our blueprint going forward seems to be a long diagonal pass out wide to Grealish, who then does a short backwards diagonal pass. We then don’t seem to get a shot away or do anything dangerous before losing it and then repeating.

 

[TFC]

Countdown conundrum

T I A C M P G R A

30 secs timer long gone
Rachel Reeves and Jimmy Carr gone home
Studio security says to Pep

"Come on fella you must see it I want a pint"

"I can only see atac"

Best post I’ve seen on here in a long time, brilliant XD

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Only just noticed that Foden is playing

Why ? No one passes to him thats not on him so fuck off with your agenda dickhead

 

[MichaelBBack]

Jack the only outlet.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Get Grealish in the middle, he's beating players and can pass, other guys dong nothing so far

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

We say it every week…..I’m worried he might walk because he doesn’t know how to fix it
