absolutely terrible - no urgency - no fight - no creativity

Should Nunes need more time? He isn’t good enough and looks every bit a wolves player.

Ait Nouri will hopefully be fine but is surround by bang average players. Doku ahead of him looks mid table.

The point is we used to be able to make some one like Zinchenko look amazing even out of position because everyone around him was world class.

We now have tons of mid table players making the world class ones look mid table.

We got greedy and thought we could buy 15 of them in. Show me any other constantly winning team who does that. You buy them, grow them in a successful team and then slowly change.

We aren’t doing that we are buying too many “might be good” players.

Alt Nouri was the worse player on the park today so saying he is surrounded by bang average players is a poor excuse.
He is lazy at best

For the amount we’ve spent on players to supply him he should be getting a few tap ins a game.

They are what I call bonus goals
Your Striker should be taking more of the responsibility for creating his own chances and not handed them on a plate
The work rate and hunger is not right from Haaland who should be putting himself around bully defenders

 

[carlosthejackal]

No effort and that is unfogivable.
Horlock,Dickov and Morrison were not half as talented as this lot but they fucking tried.

This lot would shit themselves if Morrison walked into the changing room.

100% agree….absolute madness to want Pep out 3 games into the season,fair weather cunts.

A season and 3 games cunty

 

[Norbert D]

Bernie was being outmuscled from minute one and did very little. Nico was sat on the bench twiddling his thumbs. Explain that fucker to me?

 

[TFC]

I can live without winning the league another season, all I fear is becoming another Milan/United.

Hope we dont make the same mistakes.

The way we’re heading, we’ll probably let Pep pick his own successor ffs

Fair weather??? Been going for over 50 years-home and away from.when old enough to do so-as well as Europe!!

He either changes his tactic and team selection or he has to go!!!
Regardless of trophies won etc

 

[madloaf]

So you’re one of them. Who are you replacing Pep with, bright spark?

Zidane? Why the fuck not? Who cares at this point.

I’m not sure about pushing him out, but that game looked a lot like crap we saw last October. So I don’t think it is fair to say it’s three games.

The players (sort of) change, but how we play and how effective it isn’t doesn’t. That’s Pep.

 

[give it to gordon]

A bizarre day.
Pep was out on the pitch before the players came out. He look lost, really strange seeing him looking totally lost. Never seen Pep do that before.

Something is a miss.

Trafford did well to keep the score down, Stones good.

But this is first time have seen us look in total disarray, the second half was chaos, no tactics, no nothing, very worrying.

But personally the young lad a few rows behind me can do one. To boo the players when they came over at the end was fucking ridiculous. The team did try and worked hard but its not clicking. I will never boo my team

Exactly. The Pep cultists don’t want to know mate.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Anyone. Firstly I’m not paid millions to make them decisions but I’ll flip a question back on you. Given our resources. The money spent last Jan and the summer. Are you saying that the shit that’s been served up for a year now is the best possible with this squad of players? The answer is no which means there’s something deeper than simply players. That’s the man in the dugout setting us to play some of the slowest and boring football I’ve seen in a long time

Anyone. The bloke from Wrexham? Amorim? Anyone ffs. You want pep out and replace him with anyone.

Your posts have been shady as fuck the last few days.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

We have a whole load of new signings and it shows. I reckon it's too much to ask what is essentially mostly a new side to play as a cohesive unit immediately albeit occasionally top sides come away with nine out of nine points after error strewn performances. But no medals handed out in August. There is a huge Kevin-shaped hole in the side - and on the subject of Kev there were a few Blue Moaners suggesting he wasn't good enough in the last year, which was nonsense. Some started taking him for granted. You don't replace a genius like Kev and his supporting acts easily. We have to be patient and give the side some breathing space. Clearly, it'll take our new signings a while to come to terms with opposing sides suffocating them in a way that doesn't happen in some leagues.

 

[half & half derby scarf]

It's like watching a rerun of last season.
None of our problems have been resolved.

We're worse than last season by some distance.

 

[Zenmanc]

Why does Rodri not have the armband.

Bernie is the embodiment of so many frailties of this team... slow, past it, aging.

 

[noseve]

Again! Let's write him off after a few games. He's twenty fucking four ffs.

I'm not writing him off as a player, I'm saying that he's not the answer to our defensive woes. He's looked really exciting at times, going forward.

The fact that we bought him as a full back suggests to many on here - you'll no doubt call them fanny-wipes - that the comical 'help-your-fucking-selves' approach to defending that blighted last season has not been taken seriously.

I'm not so sure that 24 is particularly young for a player, either. According to Wikipedia he's played 178 professional club games and 18 full internationals.

Cannot read the game and identify danger

Ooooooh Andy Andy !

The thing is, WHY have CITY become this ?
It's a mess and right or wrong, the club has let this happen for far too long, Build in success and not let it become stale and stink the place out

Lets get it right here ? Last summer, the club and Pep stood still and trusted the players and did not invest in new players, Then, what happened an injury crisis that cripple the team which is down to Pep and the club


I don't think you come back from that and the best thing is Pep should walk away and let somebody else be the manager, Look its not my Job to pick the new manager and the truth is the club would never listen to me or anybody about who I think should be the manager

Why?… because nothing lasts forever.

We had a great run of being the NKOTB and exciting stars like Yaya, DSilva, Agüero and De Bruyne wanting to sign for us throughout the 2010s.

Recently, we’ve tried to sign the same kind of elite players but they didn’t want to play for us. There’s nothing we can do about that. We can’t send hitmen round to their houses to force them to sign for us.

If we had a midfield options of Rodri, Rice, Bellingham and Wirtz now, we’d be a serious side. But we don’t even though we tried to sign all of them.

Same as now, Livramento seemingly isn’t interested whatsoever in signing for us.

It’s not like we aren’t identifying top players, they just aren’t interested because there are other exciting teams around and we aren’t the new thing or the only option anymore.
