Great game of football 2 decent teams fair result

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Just to cheer everyone up. Have you seen our fixture list for next 8 weeks

 

[Brewster's millions]

We can’t defend and haven’t been able to for well over a year now. Eventually Guardiola will have to sort it out because if we keep ‘defending’ like that we’ll just be a run of the mill mid table side.

No defensive structure and our midfield can’t stop anything. Bernado was absolutely piss poor but you know he’ll be back out there on Sunday strolling around and generally doing fuck all.

I don’t understand why he haven’t got a midfielder through the door yet because it’s killing our season.

 

[Norbert D]

What happened to closing a game out. Play it in the corner from our own corner. I’m fucking baffled why we can’t see out a game.

 

[WestGorton]

Midfield completely non existent. Doesn't matter who we buy in defence when teams are walking through us at will

Exactly

 

[geoff hammond]

Pep needs to fuck off plYing his favourites now. Your job is too do what’s best for the club not pick the players you like. Fucking annoying seeing a guy who’s 34 who can’t run when you’ve got options on the bench

Mcatee came on. That didn’t pan out too well

 

[ysmsa]

Haalaand should have been off last 5 minutes for the young lad.

Haaland was fooked and not closing down.

That effort from Mcatee cost us the game, not his fault but giving possession up and then they score.

Fucking annoyed with that, should have seen the game out.

 

[micky_blue]

Here we go again, KDB brilliant, the rest average. Absolutely no legs in midfield, defence shakier than my hands after a weekend on the beer. Seems we are addressing the defence problems, no movement yet on midfield reinforcements

 

[bluwes]

Can someone explain why he brought Gundo on and make it make sense, cos I can’t

Great post. Wish you were our manager instead of pep!!

 

[Ken92]

He was Mr dependable, been miles off it for a while, like half the team

Never been good enough for me ,got bailed out many times before ,when our team was clicking and playing really well.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I can't wrap my head around us bringing in an attacking midfield/striker in Marmoush, when we have McAtee right there, before a defensively minded midfielder. I mean, it's clear as day that's where the help is needed. Gundo/Kova are getting run past like they're not even there.

 

[Norbiton]

Good game, disappointing to concede so late but we’d been riding our luck with the chances they had.

 

[Frank the Yank]

Really good game and a really good point, we ain't back yet but we are certainly heading in the right direction.

Sorry, it’s NOT a good point. Two goals up with 12 minutes to go. We concede a few minutes after we go 0-2. Nowt good about that!!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

So many chances, that’s a positive but we are showing once again that we have a soft underbelly. Pep should be managing that game better at 2-0 and shoring up the back 4.

Please tell me who on that bench could 'shore up' the back 4.

 

[chaddblue]

Why the fuck did he bring Gundogan on

Cost us the 3 points

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Did I miss the new fucking signings on the subs bench? Who exactly was Pep supposed to bring on?

I cannot believe you're all blaming the subs for that result.

Brining gundo on when we needed some legs to harass and stretch was a poor decision.

 

[stan bowles]

Sivinho should hang his head in shame an absolute disgrace closing his man down for that cross.

He's a winger and a very young one. Thought he was our best player tonight.

 

[Craig]

T

Ake’s header saved us two points to be fair

That shot was actually going well wide but brilliant with the earlier clearance

 

[blueandwhite]

Shambles. De Bruyne is finished as is Silva. And I’m not sure about Pep any more. We’ve gone back to the 2003 season where we weren’t sure what City would turn up. I suppose back then we didn’t have the same budget we do nowadays. Every time a team attacks us the alarm bells are ringing. I’m really, really disappointed that Pep can’t fix this.
