The problem is, pep seemingly still thinks we are. When is he going to start using what he's actually got rather than trying to fit them into a system that is no longer appropriate for this squad?I agree. It’s painful to watch at times. We gave it a go and can’t knock the effort as that was very good all night. We are just not the same team now and it’s happened very quickly.
we used to press like Barca....that helped when you lost it on their 18 yd box...now ..half amble over, get picked off..embarrassing ..no tactical nouce shownWhen I say I wanted to see us go at their defence, I'm not neccesarily wanting an all out gung ho approach. Just wanted a quick, more direct attack. Wingers that want to beat their man, midfielders considering playing a ball in behind once in a blue moon, perhaps getting a cross in for haaland to attack.
I feel like we could actually have been more defensive than we were but with a quicker more direct attack still have been more considerably more threatening too.
It's the insistence on trying to build a slow 5 minute attack that almost always results in us losing the ball cheaply and offering no threat to their goal throughout that I disapprove of. It's pointless because we don't have the precision to keep the ball and we don't have that front press to win it back instantly and turn it into that sustained relentless pressure that eventually got us goals.
Savinho is an upgrade on Sterling.
Not yet he’s not I wasn’t sterlings biggest fan and he was frustrating at times but he had good G/A numbers to back himself up Savhino doesn’tSavinho is an upgrade on Sterling.
Indeed. We were lucky to be 2-1 up but you surely realise that and shut up shop better than we do.Poor game management against dangerous opposition...its not like we had no warnings for the first 85 minutes.
Yes right so he is. Come back and argue your case when he has topped 130 goals for us.Savinho is an upgrade on Sterling.
not with this team. With this team I would never bet on us winning 2 nil up with 3 minutes to go.I'll still never bet against City next week...you never know. We played better than I thought we would until we caved in....again.
Agree with that too. Answer is he probably isn’t. The same thing is happening regularly because we keep doing the same things!The problem is, pep seemingly still thinks we are. When is he going to start using what he's actually got rather than trying to fit them into a system that is no longer appropriate for this squad?
Not sure if wumming, blind, 6 years old or a combination.Savinho is an upgrade on Sterling.
We we have lay down for about 5 or 6 teams so far this seasonWell I'm sorry but It appears you've really lost your marbles mate .
Come on. Dust yourself down. Take courage and get ready for the weekend because we are not lying down. Not for anyone. We have a top 4 spot to fight for.
I just think it's typical City. We never do anything in halves.That's what's so hard to take, the drop off from greatness has been so rapid.

Not just good, Raz had elite numbers from the wing.Not yet he’s not I wasn’t sterlings biggest fan and he was frustrating at times but he had good G/A numbers to back himself up Savhino doesn’t
sterling did score 150!!!!Savinho is an upgrade on Sterling.
I’m guessing he wasn’t fit but was making up the numbers on the bench perhaps for him to watch us and learn. Hopefully he doesn’t learn all the shit parts!Where was the Spanish DM we just signed. If he was fit surely he had to come on once we went 2-1 up.
He trained as normal with the rest of the group yesterday evening so it's bizarre that he didn't come on.Where was the Spanish DM we just signed. If he was fit surely he had to come on once we went 2-1 up.
Ok, I get that. Some people have sensibilities, commendable characteristic, I imagine.Alex Ferguson. He'll never be a 'Sir' in my book.
