City v Saints post match

If anybody criticizes the team or manager they are rags and if you stick up for the team or manager you are an happy clapper judging by the comments on 1st 20 odd pages.
We were awful 1st half and a lot better 2nd half but still a long way from playing as we need too.
Nacho made a huge difference when he came on.
Sterling had a decent game as did Sane.
We need to move the ball much quicker from the back than we have been doing in order to give the forwards a chance to break.
Beat the rags and baggies and we will file todays result as one of those days.

Yes thats true we werent moving the ball quickly enough and thats been the key to the great football we have shown we can play. Hate to say it but this stopping and putting the foot on the ball all the time is a remnant at the end of the Pelle era.
 
Pep said he'd learn more from our first defeat than our first five wins.

Well we've now lost two and drawn three without keeping a clean sheet......has anyone seen any lessons learned ??

Just askin like.
 
You know what, sometimes you have to give the opposition credit, fonte was great for them along with a few others. The shite level of urgency didn't help mind. Silva or gundongan from now, not both

They both played vs Everton and they were both excellent.
 
I love my City, I don't care what all the experts on here say, I have loved them since 1964 and will love them till I die. We have players to be proud of, a manager who has inherited a less than complete situation, but all will come good.
Trouble is, I never seem to get noticed, on here only the Johnny come lately negative vibe merchants, who seem to know everything, who put out meaningless imagininary team selections and formations, whilst we have a manager who has won champions leagues and titles in Spain and Germany. And let's kill this myth there are only two teams in Spain. I have lived in Spain and I tell you this is nonsense. Seville, Villarreal, Atletico, Valencia, Bilbao would all do well in the prem. So cheer up, like I said but nobody listens to me, you negative guys are on the wrong side of history :-)

Len Rum maybe? Or maybe could be Fetlocks.

Either way he would fit right in on the match day forum.

He wants more direct football, not 3 at the back, should be 5 at the back. The players should work on building sites in close season. He didn't want Pep at first and doesn't want him at second. Get Pep out and replace him with Simone from Spain

We've obviously hit the brick wall. I'm sure the same happened to the mickeys under klipperty around the same time of the season, the played the pressing game and it worked for a while and then it suddenly stopped and results went against them. We could be two points clear but we're not, we've had a lull and are struggling to find that killer blow. Teams may have sussed us out but we keep playing this attacking football, we are top of the league albeit on goal difference. The thing is after that run of 10 wins everybody I think got a bit too excited, we set the bar too high too early so anything less than a win is going to hurt and look bad.
Pep is only 3 months into his 3 years and his methods are already having an effect. We just need to get a bit of luck, a bit of a rub of the green , maybe score a scruffy goal to win. I prefer to look at it as 2 defeats in 15. Fuck this not won in 5 bollocks. 2 defeats in your first 15 games as a new manager is fannytastic if you ask me and it doesn't matter if you are Kev from the dog and duck or pep Guardiola, it's a great start and it shouldn't be overlooked. The difference in our play is black and white. We look fantastic and can only get better. Ride this little rut out, it's not even a crisis, and we'll be laughing at the end of it.

You are right of course but I think the start made people think Pep was the second coming.

we don't look fantastic every game. Today we were very average and Spurs was average to poor.

We have to stop making these stupid errors though. We are gifting sides goals at the moment. Today's was a howler but when added to Bravo's and the 2 from Kolorov, that's 4 piss poor goals in 5 games.

The good news at this stage of the season it's not the be all and end all and we will only get better.

I think my expectation bar has definately been lowered in the last few games.

December is the key Month for us. Can't win anything but can certainly do ourselves harm.

Hopefully it will be all guns blazing by then!
