Peps post match comments sound like a signal to the club to pursue Anderson in Jan.

Sounded the same to me too. Might not be him, but certainly saying we don't have the players in midfield.

Can kalvin phillips be any worse than a midfield of bernardo and stones ... ffs

He’s not iniesta but what has happened to him is so odd

 

[SWPISHOME]

Agreed. He brought composure.

He certainly did.

The lad is a fer better option to play alongside Phil, both have a very good understanding of eachother.

Reijnders just isn't cutting it imo, I know he scored tonight but he tends to go missing for large parts of the game, He let's the games pass him by and at the age of 27 I'm not sure he can turn that around. He should be in his pomp now.

Well Done Meat Sheild

Teams are simply more fearless against us. We used to be a team you’d be lucky to not be 3-0 down after 20 mins. Last season destroyed all of that. Teams know they just have to apply pressure, turn up the heat and we’ll stumble. We also don’t have a Rodri or an Ederson or KDB to steer the ship when things like that happen. You’re looking to Bernardo and Stones …

Or a Gündoğan who just effortlessly shuttled the ball about controlling the tempo in the middle.

Why doesn’t Pep and his coaching staff not instill some discipline in our midfield & defence

Pep’s already done it to Haaland.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

We look badly coached.

We won.

Other managers now out thinking Pep?

We are 2nd in the league.

This post match is gonna be hilarious, biggest bitching session about a win ever.

That being said, savinho what in the actual fuck.

he fell over ball running clear through laughable

 

[pbueno16]

Coming from a place of curiosity, how can anyone watch that and genuinely think a right back or right winger are more important than midfielders in January?

The opposition goal is that way......Que?? I know nothing!!!

I'm not even joking but I actually agree, as shit as Phillips is he certainly can't be any worse, at least the **** would put a fucking tackle in!

 

[Lavinda Past]

I literally said I dont think Pep can solve the issues with this squad

And you're 100% correct.

 

[ysmsa]

To make matters worse,

It looks like Pep is in charge of the Jungle too,

Sending Kelly home and leaving a load of nobodies on :-)

Pep Guardiola: "Rodri will be back soon, but [Mateo] Kova will be long, and we don't have anyone [aside from Nico]. Today we proved it.

"We have to think about it, maybe Nico O'Reilly can play there, Rayan Ait-Nouri or Nathan [Ake] can play at left-back.

"We don't have [alternatives]; Tijjani [Reijnders] is more attacking positions. His position is the goal he scored, in the pockets and his movements are unstoppable - he's really good! We have to find something..."

Excellent post. All the ones slating him on here probably never actually listen to what he says. They certainly never have any answers, all we get is "drop him, sell him, never play him again" without actually realising that we would be in a far worse position without most of the players they're slating.

Any news on Khusanov? I think he would really strengthen us if he could get a run and find a place in the side. I'm assuming he's still injured.

 

[hilts]

Can I come out from behind the settee?

Yes her hubby has gone to work

 

[supercity88]

What a game! Shame I didn't enjoy it until the final whistle!

Something hugely amiss with this side and their inability to cope with any pressure. Once a side decides to go at us we crumble. Cherki again the only player with any composure and came on far too late.

Off the ball we didn't press enough or defend with enough commitment. On the ball we gave it away far too often unnecessarily.

We might be second in the league but we are miles away from being good enough to win the title.

 

[remember arthur mann]

We won.

We are 2nd in the league.

Not good enough ! We are Manchester City, I mean Manchester City we are talking about, Manchester City.

 

[Marvin.]

Sounded the same to me too. Might not be him, but certainly saying we don't have the players in midfield.

If we lose Gonzalez we are in trouble (until Rodri is back).

 

[Lavinda Past]

He was terrible again.

The most overrated player at the club. I can't believe that he gets a regular start, or that some fans think he's world class!

 

[ysmsa]

Newcastle & Fulham potential offsides for a goal and Dias is the one defender playing them on.

He didn't keep then on at Newcastle and tonight we weren't afforded the luxury of the lines.
