Garbage performance. Only Foden shows any intent. The lack of pace at the back is staggering. Bernardo needs to go in January, slows everything down even when we had a great break at the end he decided to check back. Stones is also not the answer at RB.

You can’t say it was a garbage performance when we comfortably should have scored 4/5 goals. They’ve got two goals out of nothing. City should of been out of sight.

#TxikiOut ?

Disappointed result & below average performance against weak team

Tijjani, Foden, Bernardo & Savio are not really creating enough.

No fullbacks = easy to score against.

No point moaning about the ref or VAR because City was poor tonight, let's get it right Monaco are not one of the best teams in Europe and we looked weak at the back and a fullback, very sloppy and we didn't take the game by the neck and score enough, it was all too nice.

A point is OK, but we are not going to win this year's Champions League unless if we can get into the knockouts then when the winter transfer window opens, sign some fullbacks.

Why does Pep make it hard for himself by not buying enough fullbacks ? The sqaud is full of midfield players wide players and 5 centre-backs 4 keepers and one striker ? No balance at all

Average performance against an average side, I can see why he gave the penalty even though I don't think it was.
That last attack of ours when we broke away at pace summed us up, we had a player advantage, Bernie no fucking pace, stops and does his pirouette, loses possession, chance gone, far too many sideways and backwards passing with little intent.
We're currently a shadow of the side that won the treble, if Haaland doesn't score no one does.

Nail meet head

Thought we played alright overall. Should’ve put the game to bed, but you can’t really legislate for decisions like that. The referee was shocking all game.

but by now 15 years in cl we know what to expect

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Anyone who thinks we played well tonight is the very definition of a clown.

We've played worse in the last 12 months.

 

[TFC]

I thought we controlled that completely, just the same old issue for us, the soft underbelly.

Your benchmark is the side that won the treble? Fool.

 

[AlBuxton]

Awful defensively, created plenty, their keeper played well. Too slow too often in possession. Stones Bernardo offered nothing going forward

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Bernie RW crap, kills every attack and then pisses the ref off as he is about to make a penalty decision great captaincy

Once the VAR calls the ref over for a pen decision, it is virtually always given. Do you watch many games?

 

[meltonblue]

I dont disagree, and its infuriating.

Im in two minds about it as I argued a lot with United fans at work that Nani’s red back in the day was justified! If you put your leg that high and don’t know where your opponent is and whether it’s safe or not, you’re always asking for trouble.

 

[jimharri]

Nico should have let Dier head it in and not tried to get the ball. I am tired of seeing our players try to get the ball. The referee was brilliant.

I can't remember; were you as much of a WUM before?

 

[Blu1]

We are lucky to have erl & if we don’t start improving with squad planning he will be gone. He’s not staying around if we ain’t challenging & right now we are not challenging for anything. The squad is average. We are better than last year but still not good enough.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Khusanov makes a different but we definitely need to get a top class attacking wide right player.

We have that player, his name is Cherki.

 

[Goater101]

Haaland is pissed off.

Not surprised really, he's right.

Pep fucked up in the second half, his decision making is getting more and more bizarre.

His substitutions are fucking terrible it has to be said.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Haaland rightfully fuming. Hopefully it rubs off on the rest of the team. Need that fire and seige mentality back. We shouldn't have been in the position to allow the referee to fix that game

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Haaland sounds fuming with his team mates

I'm just about to watch .....

 

[YatesA]

Guys come on, trying to win the ball with your foot that high in a congested box is dumb. The rules are what they are. Pros should know better

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Did you moan at your parents that they didn't really take your nose when they played with you?

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
I did not think it was possible for you to talk any more shit than what you put in your initial post
Congratulations, you have succeeded in that regard.

 

[jamielowndes]

Look on the bright side. Those who were mourning Eddie's departure can gain some solace in the fact that Gigi is carrying on the fine tradition of City keepers not saving penalties. The King is dead, long live the King!


;-)

Between their first decent effort going top corner and the penalty, it was a night of vindication for Ederson fans.

One shot one goal wasn't a keeper thing. We just haven't been a great team defensively for a while and we give up a lot of high percentage chances.
