[Blue Til Death]

I normally have a total media blackout after a City loss, I’m doing that tomorrow as that’s what this feels like..

 

[NLW Blue]

Who said that watching City is boring ?

It fookin isn't.

 

[Goldust]

For me the biggest issue with this city team in comparison with the years gone by bar the obvious less talented players is the lack of basic effort and ability to win a duel. Amazing as Pep wasn’t having Nasri, Aguero etc and now some of them with half the ability also have half the effort. Has Pep gone soft or lost his edge.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Absolute shit house performance

We have the softest group of players in the league

Won't put a challenge in and roll over for anybody who puts pressure on them

With crap comments like that, I’m pleased that you’re not really here

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Honestly the only difference compared to last season is we are riding a ridiculous amount of luck this season. What on earth was this again?

We have more strength in depth though fatigue is showing. We’ve deserved our points IMHO.

 

[argyle]

Awful performance

Spineless again from so many players...but the main issues persist.

Reijnders....besides the 30secs around his goal he did fuck all....go watch the game again...it just passes him by..he is walking most of the time while players like Bernardo and foden sprint around trying to win the ball back...he offers literally nothing

Donarumma - who were the people telling me over the summer that he is fine under the high ball when I said he was weak with crosses.....its literally every game he is costing us a goal or nearly costing us...he is an amzaing shot stopper but for someone who is 6,5 he is the biggest soft arse ever...if he had an ounce of Edersons bravery he would be world number 1

Fullbacks - both are an issue...NOR tries but he is getting done time and time again...Nunes we know the issues....

Stones came on (and I understand why Pep tried it - Nico G was on his last legs) but he can barely run.....again I said he should have been replaced over the summer

Savihno - sorry but Im done with him....he was through on goal and he bottled it and then tried to buy a foul....he should be in the reserves and nothing more

Pep cannot change this as he doesnt have the players to do so....rodri getting fit gives us more options but that aint happening quickly.....

If Arsenal dont win the title it will be the biggest bottle job in the history of football as we simply are bang average and should be nowhere near them

We won

 

[Lowtower]

Fucking hell

 

[Gordyola]

Crazy decision from Pep to take Nico Gonzalez off and play Stones in midfield on top of bringing Savinho on at the same time.

It weakens the team defensively straight away, at the point we were under pressure anyway.

Terrible substitutions.

We used to moan at Pep for not making subs not he makes the most ridiculous ones

 

[The perfect fumble]

no wonder im fucking bald

Were you bald at the kick off?

 

[bluwes]

It’s cheating in plain site Fulham’s third gaol was offside if you apply the Newcastle rules where the armpit played the attacker onside . Tonight the attackers armpit was ahead of the last defender, however tonight they reverted to the City defenders foot when the Fulham players upper body was ahead of the defender …it’s bent full stop

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Can someone please call me a fucking ambulance

Sure. After I have called one for myself…

 

[ActonBlue]

My god there are some negative nancy's in this thread, you'd think we'd been battered the stuff some people are saying. Get a fuckin grip, Fulham are a good side with an excellent home record. Our capitulation was down to terrible substitutions. Pep will learn that he can't rely on Savinho after that.

 

[Gibblue]

Some people need to lighten up. It’s an entertainment business. We all know we are far from perfect at the moment. Should be enjoying that rather than getting worked up about everything.

Mate we're on a football forum discussing said entertainment we've just seen.

Should well be robotic happy clappers thrilled with the 2nd half performance we've just seen?

It was diabolical from the manager and players and we're allowed to be frustrated with it

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Well that was scary, played very well first half, weird subs disrupted us, mad period where Fulham scored 3 screamers. Cherki did very well calming it down when he came on. Foden was great throughout as was O'Reilly and the big man. Bernardo was woeful as were the 'super subs'.

Don't actually blame Donna for their 4th, it was a difficult corner and the defence was both slow to react to the loose ball and not willing enough to throw bodies at the ball. This weird hand behind the back long barrier shit the whole team tries to do costs us so many goals it's not funny, just fucking throw yourself at it, if it hits your arm so be it.

 

[Earlyriser]

Please do not keep saying Donnarumma is a World Class Goalkeeper. He is not

 

[cookster]

Either Peps game management is awful or we don’t have the quality to see out games from the bench

Huge lack of quality on the ball.
We're trying to play Peps style but, don't have the quality of player to execute it.
Few years of poor recruitment.

 

[Penworthamblue]

That was proper typical city hahaha

 

[bitterblue78]

Won out last 2 but both feel like defeats. What goes in at half time? Do they play on there nintendo switchs or some

 

[citytill1die84]

DOKU BRILLIANT !! ??
What fucking game were you watching ? Not surprised one bit why he was subbed early on.

Scored and got an assist caused them many problems. What were u watching? lol

 

[jamesha]

Not sure what to make of that! The tarquins have only let in seven goals in the league so I cannot see us mounting a challege unless rodders comes back fit and firing.
