I am very confident in the knowledge that the players we have bought in the last two windows are not what is needed in the premier league , you need pace , power and intensity and be difficult to read and we have little of that now.

it will take a long time to be a side that has what is needed again and yes maybe with a new manager sooner rather than later.

Disagree totally. These players can win the league, they just need a proper game plan

Very depressing in here tonight. The game was awful and I can't see anything different to last season.

Has anyone been calling people out as 'fanny wipes' yet? That's the normal response on here to negative posts about the team, or the manager

It's not about today's game really ? Yes its a bad result, but it's more about Pep
A hungry Pep does not let this happen or let his players perform like today without blowing his top

He knows the club are in transition and rebuilding, but giving him a free pass and let's move on to the next game
It stinks of last season when Pep comes out and says it's ok to lose, Well, 2 transfer windows down and have City improved ?

I question the player's hunger and desire, but today I question Pep's Desire
 
Pep was criticised widely on here last season for over reliance on the old guard. This "over reliance" delivered 3rd place, a cup final and CL qualification.

Kova/KDB/Gundo - the slow, old, past their best, sideways passing Uncs, at least left everything on the pitch. Everyone a leader. This lot today were passive, disorganised, arrogant, lazy and let every single away fan down.

I'd take Europa right now.
 
this 3 points from 9 looks rally bad. dont recall something like this since takeover for sure. our worst points tally was Pellegrini's last season in last 15 years with 66 points but we actually started that season with 5 PL wins in a row and then shit results started to come. but even in that one we reached CL semifinals where we were quite bad but still. and he kind of knew early on he will have to leave end of season anyway.

we had maybe one similar shit start (4 points maybe from first 3 games) when covid delayed the start and we lost to Leicester badly at home but we had a sick 16 or 17 matches won in a row from December and we didnt have much rivals as Mourinho with rags finished 10+ points behind us...
now we have rivals and aint have the team that goes on a sick winning run anytime soon.

worst is if we fuck up another derby and then a loss at Emirates and its easily the worst start in 5 games in after takeover imo. thats not acceptable when this season is about rebounding from the shit season we just had and with Pep feeling positive that this is gonna be a good year and with Khaldoon sounded like we learnt our lessons...
did we?

This deserves a response. Firstly, having had a look at your posting profile, you have a lot of posts and even more likes, which makes me disappointed that you say what you said. Secondly, until last season when I had to give it up (broke my heart) due to health reasons I had a seasoncard seat L113 for donkeys years. Thirdly, I can actually understand your response because when I read my post I can understand why it was the sort of thing a rag on the wum might post.

Not looking for a response but just wanted to set the record straight.
 
I had a few old match of the days recorded from a few years ago and this week had a bit of free time to watch them. Wow where has our free flowing, quick passing and chasing everything to win the ball back gone so quickly. In stark contrast to todays dull, insipid lack of urgency performance. A team has to run for everything, pep said it years ago if your teammate runs for you then the next player will do it and so on.

Also alarming today and last week was our desire to want everything. A perfect example was Reijnders header at the end of the game that was a clear corner to us after a deflection. He just looked surprised it wasn't given and nobody was having a go at the referee to claim it. We are way too passive and nice as a team. Where have our so called dark arts gone. Inwatched Richarlison push Dias about a dozen times last week and not once did Dias or anybody else got in his face and give it back. We are currently soft and a bit of a shithouse team if im honest.

Pep could relegate us and he'd still have my support. The guy who's done so much for us, continues to do so much for us. A little respect and support from a section of our fans when facing relative adversity wouldn't go amiss.

If you want to remember peps success watch premier ship years and he will lauded in tears but right now he is done af city and if we carry on like this it will be mid table and that is not acceptable for us . If he was to tell the truth he would admit he’s done aswell .

The most worrying thing is Brighton arent a particularly good side. When we pressed them they gave it away and the majority of their attacking pace was booting the ball out of play as well.

In terms of attacking threat and midfield opposition we won't face many as weak as we did today in my opinion. They're a bottom half side based on their summer transfers. And we couldn't beat them in a game that was pretty easy for us. Not only that, they played us off the park and the players didn't have an answer and neither did the manager. It's wait for the inevitable then throw Doku on game after game.

Pep is looking more and more like Southgate! He is the greatest manager we probably will ever have but he is simply miles off it at the moment. He needs to be banging on Viana's door saying he needs 4 players in through the door tomorrow to fix things!

How the fuck can we sign 4 players in 12 hours without making matters worse. We have made our bed and have no option but to lie on it. I think we will be better in the New Year but are unlikely to win anything. Three elite players needed next summer to start making us competitive again.
