Haaland is the one player I have a bit of sympathy for at the minute.
Yep he’s been poor recently but I can understand why he’s getting frustrated with our lack of creativity and support.
It’s easy to mark him out of the game when he’s the only threat of a goal.
He could drop deeper but then we’ve zero chance of scoring.
He certainly could do more and play better but right now I don’t see any striker flourishing in this current squad/form.
Jack needs to go along with quite a few others.
Take whatever you can get and move on.

Jack has been carried since day one , flatters to deceive on a major level , not given to any other player in the squad , unfair criticisms ? Maybe , but he’s shite , stunting better players who deserve much more play

I’ve already proved my point, or rather you’ve done it for me, but thanks all the same.

You and Monkey Boy have proved nothing useful ,but if it makes you feel better , crack on

 

[Damocles]

I could be the greatest tactician in the world, but if the tactics don’t fit the personnel???

Talk to Sean Dyche!

Change the players

 

[Micky Blue]

Rico is the new Edghill

That’s a bit harsh.
I thought Edghill did a decent job at times.

You’re right, yes.

You’ve actually proved it for me.

You know what i meant...

 

[RayCTID]

Twice I've liked your posts today.

Keep it up :-) ha

I don't expect supporters completely agree all the time but I try and be very honest with my posts.

 

[skillman]

Shit, entitled comment

I must’ve missed all your posts last season as we strode to yet another league championship bemoaning Rogers being let go. Who the fuck is Rogers anyway. And where are Palmer’s medals.

Fannies like you are nowhere to be seen with your snidey disloyal comments when we’re winning g 4 titles on the bounce and dominating football.

Give your head a wobble

Hahahaha. Kinell fire.

‘Fannies like me’ have been going since I was 6 and had a season ticket from that age too pal.

The only thing making my post ‘entitled’ is that I am in fact, as is everybody else, entitled to their own opinion.

Don’t agree with it? Fine. But don’t start getting sensitive and dishing out insults. Christ.

Also. On the bemoaning. You’re right, I wasn’t with Rogers last season (same can’t be said for Palmer) but I’m not somebody who’s paid to make a decision on whether a player has the right level of ability or not.

 

[ancoats]

They played like a defeat was expected at times. Difficult mindset to overcome, especially with no bollocks or leaders on the pitch.

The only leader we need is the manager on the touchline, Pep was fully in control and would never let the players ghost or walk about for this length of time and keep playing them or have them at the club.

Yes the injury crisis has tied his hand a little, but again why not let the EDS and Youth team players? but letting players walk about and ghost games without punishing them and dropping them is not good

 

[CityWest]

Think it would be fair to say at this point that there's got to be way more to this nose dive than we're being told.

 

[skillman]

Stones was hitting that pass because that's one thing he's good at aside from getting injured which he happens to be exceptional at. It's hardly surprising that pass went away when Walker came on

Good point!

 

[JewelZee]

O Reilly maybe but come on, mcatee is wank

Then why is he on the squad?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I think with respect to Wenger I would agree but again Wenger was ahead of his time but he was caught and his refusal to change was his downfall,

Ferguson I agree he did win 4 in a row but it’s a moot point really, he won way way more titles because he was pragmatic, I’m not sure Guardiola could match that with his refusal to adapt

We are not looking at a few tweaks her and there we need a significant number of players

Did he?

 

[blue by birth]

Pep just showing what a stubborn arrogant bastard he is. Our team lacks the legs and skill to play such a highline possession based game. Players aren't arsed anymore. Dressing room lost weeks ago, perhaps we should just hear the 115 verdict, accept relegation and get a new manager. We might all be happier. No heart shown today except for Gvardiol and a couple of others, the rest are coasting.

So are you saying we are guilty??
Who do you suggest to replace Pep??
Yep Pep is stubborn but he's had plenty of success with his stubbornness..I'm sure he will sort it sooner or later.
As for accepting relegation and being happier..I for one wouldn't be happy.. wouldn't stop me renewing my season ticket but definitely wouldn't be happy, but then again it isn't going to happen..
We might not win fuck all this year or next but we have had our fill in the last decade or so.

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

It sounds as if he needs an operation. I hope they get it sorted out for the poor lad soon.

If it’s Planter F it spikes anytime and certainly on exercise. No operation can fix it

 

[robbieh]

Change the players

That's a risk. I don't think 11 players all become shit in 6 months.
I may be wrong but Pep is after 15 years showing signs of decay.

 

[Cuban heels]

Lavia is always injured ffs.
Delap wasn’t needed the season he was allowed to leave.
Same with Palmer.
Doyle is at Wolves.
Harrwood Bellis wouldn’t even be being discussed if we didn’t have 4 centre halves injured ffs.

The revision regarding the ones who have left is embarrassing. They weren’t missed for that couple of seasons as we’ve been successful and they weren’t going to all wait around.
Sooner people stop complaining about the ones who left the better.

He forgot to mention Morgan Rogers who we sold for one million , one fucking million .

Do you think he's forgotten how to coach in the last 6-8 weeks?

 

[KPXBLN]

Spot on.

Good luck to them all i hope they forge a decent career for themselves but none of them ,not even Palmer, were good enough to get into the City side of last season.

McAtee doesn’t get into the side cos he’s not good enough and can’t be trusted, simple as that.

Palmer scored 22 goals and got 11 assists in the PL in a team that finished 6th. He looked like a top premier league player the minute he signed for Chelsea, because that's what he already was when Pep let him go. I don't especially think it's the reason we're so shit at the moment (though I would much rather have Palmer than the inferior Doku or Savio) but I don't get this blind refusal to accept it was a big fat mistake to sell him.

You could say the same about Wenger, Mourinho and loads of others. They like players reach a wall.
