Could be really really interesting next week FA cup final then 3 days later an equally if not bigger game against Bournemouth ( yes champions league is more important due to the money and revenue) lose the final and we could be in a world of pain on the Tuesday,hopefully we somehow turn up for both games..

Yep. A lot of us realised how important today's game was to our FA Cup Final plans. The FA Cup Final is now secondary to the the Bournemouth and Fulham games. It didn't have to be that way.

Who knows. He probably thought we would win easily and it was a chance to get some game time for some of the people coming back or out of form. I was a bit surprised when I saw the starting 11 and have been baffled by some of Pep's decisions.

He may well have a brain fart for the final next week. He does this sometimes. We have to take the rough with the smooth. Whoever comes in after Pep will not deliver the same amount of trophies. I think we just have to accept that he does things that most people can't always fathom.

Understood. If we blow top five and the cup final questions have to be asked. You have to play a winning side ffs.

Our general team play and build up was good. All the possession, zippy passes, totally dominating the tempo of the game, Ederson basically having nothing to do all match. You can’t ask more than that.

Where we failed today was up front. Sorry to say it but Haaland was shite. A more on form striker including Haaland at his sharpest would have buried several of those chances.

If we played our false 9 shape up front i reckon we’ve have won that game.

Haaland is obviously a brilliant player but i do worry that he’s just not quite what we need. He’s nowhere near as hand-in-glove as Aguero was.

Zippy passes? I must have watched a different game, it was the usual slow predictable build up play until the last 15 mins.
 
Unfortunately now with this team, it's more of a, who do we keep than who do we get rid of. Just baffling how so many can lose form, focus and passion in less than 12 months. Baffling!
 
126 corners we've had this season in the league, and we've scored directly from 2 of them

Crazy stats considering the size we have in the team

Zippy passes? You been watching Rainbow? We were piss poor and that's on both the players and the manager but we need to play quicker and more direct. No idea why he puvked the team he dud
 
On paper our easiest game of the run in so in typical City style we contrive to fuck it up after all our recent hard work in harder games. Following this club is never easy.

That's the worry.

Lets be honest, if any of those signings were top top draw and had blown away the management, they'd be playing.

Some have potential but I can't hand on heart say any look like future hall of farmers.

I think we all need to adjust our expectations for the next five years. The last five have been freakishly good.

Maybe so... But Marmoush is better than anything on display. Lets nit kid ourselves. It was a stupid decision not starting him.
 
Sooo boring again, great turn out and a complete non-display yet again…Players and Pep couldn’t even be bothered to clap the fans, probably also felt sleepy.
