Absolute bollocks mate. Haaland scored which was his 88th in 100 games. He was lively first half and scored. We stoped creating anything second half as Brighton woke up and pressed us and our out dated passive approach was punished so Haaland hardly saw the ball. Haaland was the least of our problems. Regardless of not playing to his strengths which is quick transitional football he nearly always bags for us. So your post is a little odd.

It's Manchester City, not Erling Haaland City. He is supposed to adapt he hasn't.
However the main issue is the recruitment and youth systems failure on either buying quality or developing it.

SHOCKING. I hope we can make it to 40 points bc I really cant see us beating anybody playing like this.

We beat Wolves.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Pep’s finished. I hope he walks and takes haaland with him. It’s like a man short with an overthinking manager. All the but but but lads can fuck off.

Takes Haaland with him?

He's scored 88 goals in 100 Premier League games and you think he's a problem??

How he's even scoring goals over the last year in this side I'll never know. Imagine how bad we'd be without his goals! We don't even play to his strengths ffs

No idea how long Rodri has left on his contract but can’t see him hanging around for long if that’s our new standard .

He was good today, considering everything. My hope is he's perfect Rodri by Christmas.

 

[ancoats]

We’d be absolutely stupid to offer him a 5 year deal.

Fuck me 5 more years of that we saw today ? no thank you

The absolute state of this. What on earth is going on.

Another weekend ruined

 

[Stelea]

We had a whoe summer and much longer than that since Kyle Walker left, to idnetify the players we needed - that is on Viana/Txixi

Yep, one thing that can’t be levelled at Pep

Exactly

1. WHhere is Rico Lewis going at this point?
2. What is RAN doing...the danger is central infront of him..the man outwide is a secondary concern - basics
3 Why is Reijnders (I think its him) up near where Haaland should be - said this last week that play him as one of the deeper lying midfielders will expose us....People jump on Bernardo BUT he is defensively aware
4. Is it Dias or Stones in the bottom left of the picture - what position is this for the centre half? At least be on the inside of the man just behind you

Shocking

and the real problem is that that picture could be taken countless times over the last few games and last season -

Pep is getting this wrong and the players either arent good enough to play his way (but he wont change) so it change him or the players (I hope it the players) - too late now however

A hungry Haaland scores 3 or 4 goals in a game like today

Thats how bad he is playing when coasting he only scores one

A hungry Haaland is hungry as he sees a meal. At the moment (and last season) there is no food on the table. Literally the chefs are bumbling around in the kitchen prepping when they should be plating up. It’s a style thing.. we are slow and laboured. It’s dreadful.

 

[herrock]

Khusanov Stones Ake Gvardiol should be back four after the break

 

[wolviedinho]

The winning mentality has fallen off a cliff.

If you can’t or won’t see that then carry on.

the football is awful, open your eyes.

We are transitioning alright, into a poor football team.

 

[BossHog]

Quick passing, triangles, press to get the ball back, flying wingers, overlapping fbs…….not anymore.

 

[Lowtower]

What is worrying is the lack of ability to react to the changes Brighton made

We were coasting, and Brighton didn't look like getting anywhere close to making a comeback, threw on 4 players made some adjustments and we just didn't (or worryingly) couldn't react.

Nunes handball was pathetic, and I thought that was bad, but the second goal! The second goal they had the freedom of the pitch to stroll into, equally as awful to concede.

After being played off the park by Spurs last week, and this 2nd half capitulation against Brighton, its going to take a massive effort to get us anywhere near contending for titles this season.

 

[come-on-barney]

That's utter rubbish. We were dominating the game and switched off

Look at the stats! The game changed after they made the changes. We didn’t react to their changes.

He’s the one player (Rodri and Trafford aside) who doesn’t deserve criticism after today. First half worked hard, scored, missed a few chances but overall did fine. It’s not Haalands fault in the second half we reverted to the boring as fuck style and refuse to take chances when attacking.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

Oh Come on , everyone knows why we conceded the goal , it had fuck all to do with khus.

Because it was handball?

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Pep needs to sign a 5 year deal or go now.

I’m not sure we should offer him a 5 match deal…

 

[phargrave]

Don’t need to worry about being relegated with the 115 charges, we’re doing a great job of that ourselves…..
