And Kompany/Aguero bought us many titles. Time waits for no man. No room in football for sentiment.All those, bar Kovacic, brought us a fucking treble and the league the season after. What do you want to happen? Just keep buying each season to keep challenging? It doesn’t work like that. I mean my fucking god, how dumb are people?
And unbelievably ungrateful.
ThisYou have no idea why though. The charges maybe? Or faith in what we have? You know, the treble winners?
You have no idea whatsoever.
You are the kind of entitled twat who should go and support those rags you’ve quoted, because your mentality fits in there. Entitled. Spoiled. Tantrum when it doesn’t go your way.
You are not a City fan. Your attitude shows it.

And yes, of course you should buy each season to freshen things up and improve. Whether thru injury or father time the only thing you don't do is stand still. Or go backwards in our case currently
No not this. Pep/Txixi have acted like fans showing unwavering loyalty to the Treble winners. And that's a significant part of the reason we are in the mess we are in.This
City didn't lose the game tonight because of the midfield. We lost because once again we couldn't play our first choice defenders, or they went off. So events have actually vindicated our transfer market activity although I am slightly worried that the new signings might need a lot of time to settle. Playing central defence is not easy.You don't get it do you? I'm not kicking the club or the manager.. but I'm not happy with Txiki.
22 days in ZERO midfielders when we need at least 2.. most likely FIVE!

It’s hard to go back to Aldi fish finger butty’s when you have been gorging on M&S filet steak for a decadeSome of our so called supporters have become bloated and entitled by success and simply aren’t mentally equipped to deal with adversity.
Well done you. Rag.Yeah whatever.. keep calling people names if that's all you can do.
Off to ignore you go!

We have just brought in two young central defenders and are trying to sign a forward, so the soft spot has gone.For me Pep is untouchable but I'm beginning to agree with you that he might have too much of a soft spot for this group of players.
You can disagree all you like but if your main central defender goes off at half-time, and you are already without Ake and Stones plus you have a make-shift right back then I think the problem is obvious.I disagree with you whole heartedly because everyone loves to blame defenders but the usual fuckup is losing the ball in a bad spot and allowing the counter by not pressing well enough.
That will explain 99.99% of the problem with City.
Usually or at least in seasons gone by we were good enough to commit tactical fouls to stop that from happening.. Other than the Ruben Dias committing one against Hakimi today.. I can't remember another one.. which means we're not even fast enough to commit tactical fouls in midfield before it gets to our defense.
That’s probably because there’s no player that is good enough available. We should have signed someone to partner Rodri in the summer, panic buying in January once Rodri is out for a year is far too late. I’ve just said in the Douglas Luiz thread that he’s not the standard we’ve had over the years and why should we drop to it despite being desperate. Try battle on through to the summer, give Wright and Oreilly minutes.Hard to see how we get through it given the state of the midfield. It's staggering that Rodri went down in September and in mid January we don't have a replacement.
I think they've lost the plot a bit. Whether Pep's separation or Txixi's departure has contributed, who knows. But some of the decisions have been crazy. Keeping Walker for as long as we have, giving him the captaincy (WTF), no Bonafide left back for years, no Rodri back up, selling Alvarez without a replacement.For me Pep is untouchable but I'm beginning to agree with you that he might have too much of a soft spot for this group of players.
