[Berti No Show]

It’s difficult to stay positive when the same issues resurface every week. The moment a team applies sustained pressure, we seem to fold. There’s no clear identity, no recognisable style of play. We look like a side that looks unsure of itself. Everything feels overly safe and cautious, stripped of ambition and creativity. It’s dull to watch.

And then the club/supporters acts surprised when midweek Champions League attendances start to dip.

Literally making rules up.
I hate corners these days any fouls like what goes on in box would be a free kick anywhere else. It's bizarre.

It’s literally been in the rules forever, I’m not sure how people don’t know that.

It should have been a retaken corner.

 

[creditunionhero]

Ha ha ha. So clear no **** saw it at the time.

Plenty saw it. So should vat. Inexcusable decision.

 

[Earlyriser]

If you believe we are shite now I hate to think what we will be like next season when Bernie goes. he continually has to do the work of 2

 

[eyalluvitt]

Can we do an internal job transfer? Pep for the Women’s team head honcho

 

[noseve]

I'm actually envious when I watch other teams, making diagonal runs, swapping positions, really fluid and almost impossible to mark.
We attack in straight lines, everybody in his clearly-defined little box or channel. I bet the other coaches can't believe their luck - or the plaudits that continue to come Pep's way.
I said similar over a year ago and was shouted down with 'fanny-wipe - wait for the rebuild' or similar.




Still waiting...

 

[SWPISHOME]

We look like a team that is bored shitless

Correct.

I'm saying it months now, these players aren't playing for their manager, it's not fucking rocket science.

You'll stills get people on here that don't like anything bad said about Pep...We all fucking love Pep, there comes a time in football or life in general when it's just time to part ways.

This ship has sailed. The players need a fresh face with new ideas and get the fire in their bellies back again.

 

[East Level 2]

I'm as pissed off with Pep and his strange and, late substitutions as anyone, but would this squad actually show some steel if we had a different manager?

 

[hilts]

Remember when resilience was in our DNA.
Now we have a team of mentally shit houses.

Donna nunes khus guehi Silva marmoush all have it in them

 

[johnnytapia]

Boot someone from behind and no foul. Ok

Boot someone from behind??
no City player said a peep.

 

[Partington_blue]

Foden has been terrible for weeks!

So have half the team….
Hardly terrible. He’s not been at his best. But he has a goal in him. Can make a difference.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Piss poor. Ineffective. No plan b whnen its not working with Haaland up top

Haaland is probably the best in the world 1 v 1 running onto the ball over the top - except he was heavy footed today..needed a deft touch.. He only got that chance because Spurs weren't bothered in first half and defended so badly...to high up, no pressure on the ball.. Haaland in open play is pretty dire really - he's scored a lot of pens, and we feed him non stop first half of the season - hence no goals elsewhere. Im sure Pep has never been that keen on a number 9...always more comfortable with floating midfielders arriving late in the box... im sure in his book when he retires he might allude to this....I like Haaland as a fella though, but your right the look is grating when he's having a laugh when we need to win... tbf even if we won today - were a million miles behind an organised and fit Arsenal...who are dull but very efficient

They are saying he is getting foul but because it's City we have to make some shit up to not give the right decision

We have been on the end of some terrible decisions on not only officials but the clowns that run VAR

 

[Roachy]

Could’ve been much worse if it wasn’t for the Donnaruma saves.

Thank christ we've got a top goalie at the moment. Could have had a couple of real seeing to's recently otherwise.

 

[garyCTID]

What a bunch of puff pastry pansies our players are. No fight whatsoever. Our hardest player is our smallest, Bernardo. Rodri is so far off it. He can’t run and he’s too scared to put a tackle in. Haaland laughing with their defender made my blood boil. Who gives a fuck when you’re on half a mill a week? In my day I would’ve fucking roasted him for that. Shocking second half performance. How many times has that happened this season? If it was up to me I wouldn’t pay them.

Have an another look all around appealed.

 

[awest]

Was really poor today after having a week off. Initially excited by this signing, but now I see his limitations.

I think he's a poor Darius Vassell.

 

[SMB75]

We have bought a full team in the past 18 months.

Well then it has to be the manager.
Not sure half of them.are playing for him anymore.

 

[hogismuir]

In all seriousness, Haaland can feck off. An absolutely lazy bastard who offers nothing. He doesn't chase anything nor create anything for himself or anyone else.

He worked hard today. Hit a bit of poor form but still the greatest goalscorer the Prem has ever seen.

 

[bellsouth]
