And once again I will say it for the umpteenth millionth time, nothing will change until Guardiola has gone.

The problem is more in the formation. Pep put a head heavy formation and like to use attack to ease defence pressure. The problem is that that two wing attackers Doku and Savinho are very wasteful and never track back for real defence contribution.
Rico last year was the Nico this year. Hyped with no real tests.

Two good teams fought out a 2-2 draw.,

That's the problem though, we've fallen into the same bracket as Brighton.

Not read what others think, but I'll give my opinion, utter garbage,lucky to get a point,Pep has gone completely fuckin mental, we're now at a point where any bang average prem team look better than us,better players,better organised, better coached,we play a team where rubbish like doku and savinho keep grealish out, he's a better player hungover than those two balloons, who coaches the defence? The midfield gets worse every game,Haaland looks justifiably pissed off and has stopped trying and he's far and away our best player! Think utd post 2013 that's how shit we are. Up the Blues.

At times they were bloody awful n’all. How many times did they just kick it out of play when under no pressure? Must have been six!

There was a point in the second half when they just passed it thirty yards away from anyone on the pitch, then we did the same, then they did it back. I commented during that time ‘bloody hell both sides are terrible!’.

Who says younger quality players wanted to sign for us?

With the quality ahead of them over the last 8 years, how do we know they didn’t look at City and think ‘well David Silva is the most consistent around and De Bruyne’s the best there’s ever been, Foden is coming through the ranks… I’ll look elsewhere’?

Plus, I wouldn’t leave my job and start working for a company with 130 legal charges hanging over them, no matter the assurances and things I could get written into my contract.

How many players have we missed out on with them thinking ‘fuck moving my family from another country to sign for City if I have to move again in 12 months because they’re guilty of the charges’.

Players will just think ‘fuck em, I’m not taking the risk with those dodgy fuckers’… even if we’re not guilty, we are known as cheats everywhere by everyone. Even if we end up being cleared, the reputations damage had been done over the years. We could clear all 130 and still be seen as cheats across the football world.

Sadly this is probably true.

And those Fuckers know it and the red loving media have lapped it up.

Stopped us in our tracks to let the rest catch up.

Not really worked though because the standards across the league has dropped.

They've literally eaten themselves, greedy cunts!

5 months of it after holding it together earlier in the season.

Whose fault is it post take-over poster? We had a team of criminally expensive JG signings plus Lewis & Gundog back on a free. Got rid of two right backs so there are no excuses. We got 1 point off Brighton from 6 and led 3 times in both games.

Who has the better players? I doubt it is Brighton. The manager takes all credit and zero blame.

I don't actually know what this post is meant to say.

We are having a dodgy season after unprecedented success. We are still missing Rodri, Bobb, Ake, Akanji and Stones. By Pep's admission, we entered the season with a small squad that has been hit with injuries.

We have begun a rebuilding process. No team has a divine right to unbroken success.

Just to make it worse, I watched the remake of Brighton Rock this week and that was shite also

The book is excellent imo

Bournemouth have lost their last 3 PL home matches. Haven't won in their last 4 home matches in all competitions. And haven't won any of their last 5 games (if you don't include a penalty shootout win)

They're not Peps Barca reincarnated

that's them beating us in the cup and at ours in a few weeks

It's truly a shock how massively we have dropped.

even start of the season we at least resembled a team of players who would play for the badge, get the results and more.

 

[xmusampa]

Good attack.. Omar spectacular.. best player on the pitch!

But we were shit in midfield and defense as Brighton clearly had better chances to win it.

Something is seriously wrong.. if 34 year old Gundogan seems more pissed off and angry than everyone else. It's like they don't want it anymore.

At least it wasn't a by 70 mins

 

[xmusampa]

Unfortunately he was gassed by 70 mins . Needs to get fitter as do most if this squad. Second best to everything across the pitch.

Chelsea away and West Ham away first week or so, we were suburb and that was without Rodri. I thought we would piss it again after that start. How wrong could I be!

Lost the ability to go up a gear and win the game, like so many this season. This is our level atm.

Yep, so it just goes to show that we are a one player team, Rodri. He got crocked we fell to pieces

Still think we rely on him so much mate, he's pivotal in everything we do. Sad but true

Rodri is no doubt an unbelievable player. But I think the cracks in the squad are that big this season even he couldn't bridge them.

 

[wahablue]

From Les McDowell till today,seen some shit from City but today it was the whole team,The main problem is lack of pace through the whole team ,then we bring on Silva,and Foden and Foden first SEVEN touches were his usual passing backwards,then we bring on kev.no pace any where and if Pep can,t see it,then we are up shit creek,All Eleven had the mobility of a street lamp,pathetic,came out disgusted.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Bernardo was weird, looked pissed off to be taken off.
Or was he pissed off he had to go on when he didn't want to and then had to go off?

Grealish is a fucking mystery.

Plenty of our players in the past have done stuff, but they weren't hung out to dry.

It's not as if we are playing well without him.

The Bernardo situation was strange to say the least. Not playing, coming on, being on for less than a nano second then saying he wanted to come off before the physio seen him, hobbling off then walking quite freely around the pitch. Just strange. I might of misinterpreted it but it didn't look good.
