Leverkusen (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[bluemurray]

Rubbish in, rubbish out. We have seriously lost our way over the past 2-years. That was a shitshow of the first order, totally unacceptable from the manager; people pay a lot of money following City and deserve a team selection that respects both them and the opposition - tonight did neither. Added to this, it is fairly obvious that our recent signings are not good enough, no spirit, no 'balls'. We could laugh at our 'bad-old-days' performances and results, but we have moved into a wholly different league in terms of justifiable expectations so when this is served up, along with the bottling at Newcastle (and Villa, and Brighton and v the Spuds), along with the clearly obvious fact that without Haaland we are effectively toothless, questions need to be asked, and Pep & Khaldoon needs to answer them.

 

[CΛL]

Just when you think we’re on the up, 2 losses on the bounce and Pep brain farts another loss.

Is what it is, rebuild starts again against Leeds. No chance we’re beating Madrid, and tbh there’s no chance in a million years we’ll win the CL anyway, or league for that matter, or a cup.

Just waiting around for next season now unless we can make some changes in January.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Treated that game as a friendly

100 percent. But we usually play better in friendlies.

 

[Citycity76]

imagine playing over £30 to watch Lewis and Bobby someone should call the police.
When Pep pulls out teams like that you don't deserve the 45,000 that turned up

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Leaving aside the team selection which was horrendous, the lack of effort was equally as worrying. We continue to look unfit. Midfield options look poor.
We rarely threaten at set pieces. Really bad that

It's all bad. And so disappointing.

Swapping Savinho for Palmer...
We've got history.

Sickening mismanagement

Bella Emberg or Grotbags?

 

[herrock]

Pathetic from Pep, move on

 

[bellsouth]

Proof perfect of us being a one man team.

Dreadful performances all over the pitch by too many players who shouldn't be anywhere near a City shirt.

We’ve got a good first XI but after that it goes down hill quicker than Franz Klammer

 

[Craig]

Getting back to last seasons lack of form

Don’t think it’s that bad. We’ve been playing well lately. Ok, at Newcastle we were too open but tough place to go and a decent game. Tonight means very little apart from potentially leading to more games if we don’t get top 8 because of it. If you decide to put most of your worst players on the pitch that performance is no surprise

 

[deano ou812]

Pathetic,honestly how many of this squad wiuld get into the squad of 3-4 years ago fucking Haaland,O’Reilly and Donna the rest are shite,past it or just don’t have the hunger or mentality to challenge for the big prizes,I’ve not included Rodri as he’s injured and I’ll give Cherki a by ball as he seems to have something about him..

 

[Double R]

I'm sometimes left dissapointed in City, but rarely pissed off, it usually takes a cup final no show to do that. But THAT utter shit show tonight pissed me off.
That starting line up was a fucking discrace, and questions need to be asked of you Pep. Each and every fan who dragged themselves out on a cold Tuesday night to be treated to City's B team deserves a refund.
What was it, arrogance? Did he honestly believe that team was good enough to beat Leverkusen? We aint beating Madrid next week, so out of the top eight we go. And another two extra games to look forward to next season, that worked out so well last year.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Tbf everyone was shit

His clown tumble nicked it.

 

[Stelea]

Another game ticks by without a goal direct from a corner

 

[Newmoston1212]

These fuckers must of felt sorry for the rags last night & thought let’s try & go one better..

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Savio n Oscar Bobb were fuckin awful ! I remember when wingers attacked the fullback

At least he took Bobb off at half time

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Recently hes been playing well. Perhaps you need to go back to the match day thread

To be fair he wasn’t bought as a RB, he’s been stuck there because he can’t play in the middle. He is doing an alright job at RB

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

A massive clear out needed in the summer, if we are to become a top team again. There's far too much dross in the current squad. It beggars belief we had the opportunity to move a couple on in this summer for good money, yet we gave them new contracts, utter madness.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Mediocre signings and tactics that are finished.

Possesion based pass the opposition to death football is dead.

Especially with CBs that run like they are wearing lead boots.

No midfield whatsoever. We are getting turned over on transitions constantly and conceding decent chances, game after game.

Can’t hit the back of the net apart from Erling.

The whole season need to be rectified now. From today we play our best 11. Fuck injuries. They are part and parcel of the game. We’ve got lucky in the past with hardly any. Now we have to deal with them as they come.

And the transfer windows need immediate attention. If we are gonna shop in the bargain bin, recruit PL proven players.

Most of this squad I would be happy to see the back of.

The rebuild nonsense can stop as well. Pep
Is making diabolical choices week in week out.

Makes me question if he gives a fuck anymore.

He gets in no other half decent team at right back, centre mid or anywhere else. Shite
