Leverkusen (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Please Pep do not come out and say we were great and you were happy with the performance.

He will do. He never digs the team out publicly.

Hopefully he goes fucking mental in the dressing room.

 

[burning blue soul]

We have not one player who can grab a game by the scruff and turn it around. Not one.
In our prime we had at least 5 in every match day 11.
There is no ingenuity or inspiration.
It's football by numbers and when the wrong type of player is bought the whole team becomes ordinary.
We are just mediocre right now.

 

[Leeky]

It’s pretty obvious that Pep has had a hissy fit with the team and dropped pretty much everyone to send a message because he was pissed about Newcastle.

Cut his nose to spite his face here and it could cost us top 8.

More like he was showing to the sporting director and above how weak we are, fucking woeful

 

[Blue and still suffering]

Haha, go on Pep. He knows exactly what he’s saying and doing.

He is definitely not happy.

 

[uwerosler28]

How the fuck Savinho has the audacity to wave his hands to the crowd in the 80th minute asking more from them after his performance I will never know, deluded ****.

 

[Blue Maverick]

That's an insult to Kalvin.

How bad must he be if he can’t even get in this squad

 

[Stoned Rose]

Vibes from Pep is he’s just given a severe bollocking out.

 

[melrose40yarder]

Only positive. Who was it who recommended the 8-1 on Leverkusen.

Otherwise. Just terrible

Soon as i saw the team i had £20 on them very rarely beton us to lose.
It was obvious when the line up came out.

 

[PepsFleece]

Pep looked defeated. The riot act was read in the dressing room.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I'd love it (Keegan esq:) if we did go for Semenyo, he's x100 times better than Savinho. I agree about Eze even the other ex Palace player who went to Bayern, I thought he was a decent player too. But let's be honest, how many really want to come to us?

I think they'd have come to City.

Nobody is picking Spurs or Utd above City, if we are serious about the player. The only reason Spurs didn't get Eze over the line is because they were trying to take the piss over the fee, then arsenal stepped in.

 

[york away to this!]

I have the same feeling about city as I have about my developer clients in the current political arena. After 30+ years in architecture and 50+ years watching city, I can sense there's a recession coming...

 

[.db.]

I think the biggest concern that I have personally, is I don't feel any kind of feeling towards 90% of our squad

Over the years I've loved the majority of them, whether it be character, ability, desire etc

These lot on the whole are just 'meh' feels like there's a good few that feel like they've made it now they're here, and aren't actually bothered about winning trophies

The whole squad lacks character and mental and physical toughness, these were traits that our squad have had across the patch for the last 10 years, and that's before they showed their ability

That exact thought came into my head in the first half.

I’m also sick to fucking death of all the diving and arms in the air and pretend crying faces at the ref asking for fouls.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

He is definitely not happy.

Exactly.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Ake, Ait Nouri, Bobb, Marmoush and Savinho all rated only 4/10 by the Manchester Evening News .... the lowest mark.

The better side definitely won there, we just didn't look to have any idea, never mind penetration!

I think the MEN is being generous with those marks.

 

[Blue Mist]

No matter what competition, the league Cup against Kiddiminster Harriers anything, no manager has ever made 11 changes. That was utterly disgraceful and a piss take for all the loyal fans.

 

[ancoats]

Pep's voice has gone

Somebody got the hairdryer in the dressing room

 

[dadnlad]

pep looks shell shocked has the sheikh phoned him

 

[ScottSinclair]

So from being very comfortably placed in the Champions League a couple of hours ago if we now lose in Madrid next time out things will look a lot, lot more difficult. A two leg play off will loom large. And all because of a classic Pep brain fart against a decent team currently 3rd in the Bundesliga...

Yeah it is weird how he sometimes turns into an absolutely terrible manager at the most random of times. Last year it lasted a month around december. Really doesn't help himself at times

Vibes from Pep is he’s just given a severe bollocking out.

To himself and coaching staff?
