It does my head in when I read Pep pleading for the supporters help again ..... it's fast flowing direct attacking football that wins games, raises spirits, and has the fans roaring .... not backwards and sideways passes with the odd shot thrown in every now and again in for good measure, like we usually see in the 45 minute games we've been getting at the Etihad lately !!

The odd shot? How many teams have more shots than City? How many score more goals?

Silly complaint!
 
They have always been around but they was never as frequent as they are now. Its also not just the midweek games, we hardly ever play 3pm on a Saturday anymore.

In my opinion its a major reason for the stadium never being full.
Not sure, wouldn’t say never full in fact probably full a fair bit more than not. Not as full for midweek games as in the past but we have had kick offs all over the place for years now so doubt it’s that. Think it’s more time of year and people a bit bored of the 60 plus games year in year out.
 
Does nobody ever speak to Pep about the disconnect between the club and a lot of fans?


I reckon he knows nothing of the situation. If he knew that passionate dyed in the wool blues were being insidiously replaced by neutrals / tourists / away fans I’m sure he’d take our side and urge Khaldoon to get that little rat Soriano under control

I would understand if your concern related to ridiculous prices for a game with a really shit kick off time for working people.

The football we watch is probably the best quality in the league for action and entertainment.
 
Why are teams running through us in the second half? Is it lack of legs, creative players unable to do their bit to repel opposition attacks once the game becomes fast and furious? We're in the business end of the season now. Do we need to be pragmatic and consider a middle three of NO - Rodri - NG. We go for a possession based game with the aim of delivering a 1 or 2 goal win.
silva will note this after last game against them expect 3 subs just after half time
 
Cant moan at Pep for saying that about the support, he just wants a full stadium cheering us on, he knows first hand the difference we can make when we are on it.

I very much doubt he has even the slightest inclination of the ticketing issues going on, he's a guy with a box that just says I want x number of tickets and he gets them, he wont have a clue what the average fan is dealing with and nor should he either, that's not his job.

Agreed it’s not his job, but Khaldoon, Soriano, Danny Wilson etc, it sits fair and squarely with them
 
Could've been a full house tonight and really good atmosphere to carry on from the weekend

As it is the clubs position on tickets means there'll be empty seats all over and it'll be a bit flat. Hope I'm wrong but can't see it

It’s 2 separate things though really, we’ve had sell out games with poor atmosphere and we’ve had games that havent sold out with better atmospheres. Think the games is what drives the atmosphere most times a bit of jeopardy and something on the game then the atmosphere rises, a game with less jeopardy and which we are controlling it drops.
Maybe partly complacency but in general most grounds are the same the game drives the atmosphere the atmosphere doesn’t drive the game anymore.(except for away fans)
 
Id like to see;

Donnaruma, Nunes, Dias, Geuhi, RAN, Rodri, NOR, Bernardo, Semenyo, Cherki, Haaland.

Subs
Trafford, Ake, Lewis, Stones, Alleyne, Gonzales, Foden, Marmoush, Reijnders.

Changes on 65 minutes..Foden for Cherki,...Marmoush or Reijnders for Bernardo.

Nothing to do with Soriano. Our club is the envy of all - apart from some fans

I know loads who work till 6pm & can’t get there for 7.30. Not clubs fault. It’s PL bowing to TV
 
If we don’t win tonight the 3 points vs the dippers have no meaning and all the joy from beating them will be forgotten.

I trust we win but our inconsistency has damaged my confidence somewhat. The 2nd half vs Fulham away was about the start of a series of very poor 2nd half performances.

Lets hope we deal with Fulham the way we should. Talent enough in our side and on the bench.
