City v Saints post match

First half was very worrying, thought a number of the players looked proper fucked off from the off and like playing football was all too much of an effort. At least there was some intensity to our play in the second half if not a great deal of quality. First time this season I've struggled to take away any positives from the performance.

Your gracious apology accepted by this older (but not always dignified) supporter. And, yes I've sat through a lot worse than anything I've seen recently! :-)

Seeing that Sane could play on the left was the biggest positive for me.

I know he set up Iheanacho but overall he was very wasteful. Over-hit crosses or ran it out. No worse than anyone else though.

Shit on a stick. Better in the second half but it couldn't be worse. Positives? Nacho and the second half from Sterling. Negatives? Everything else.
I'm not panicking yet, and some of the wet Jessies in the match thread need to man the fuck up.

Calling it shit on a stick is the epitome of wet Jessie.

I knew a girl called wet Jessie once. Horny bitch she was, gushed like Louis Spence watching The Sound of Music. Just a shame she had a face like a Fidler Crab and a body like a heavily pregnant water buffalo.
 
Pep said we would struggle, he said we weren't playing that well, he said we'd lose games - and no one believed him when we were 10/10.

Fact is the team is adjusting to the biggest shake up any of them will ever go through.

4 of our starting XI today only joined the club 10 weeks ago.

Kompany and Sané were making their first start of the season.

KDB is just coming off an injury as well.

It was only the second time we'd tried 3 at the back.

Is it really surprising we played badly today if you really think about it?

Was she really called 'wet Jessie'. She sounds like my sort of gal.
 
Are you sure?

My understanding from the last 12 odd hours is that we're scraping the relegation zone and one defeat away from appointing Fat Sam to save us.
 
I remember the "We're still top of the league" posts from last season. Followed by "We're only 2........3.........5........6 points with x amount of games to go" posts.
I'm not panicking though, I honestly think Pep is the right man at the right time. I didn't expect to win the title at the start of the season either. I thought it would take a few months and a couple of transfer windows to get it right.
That said, after our start, expectations were raised.

Whilst Guardiola is being lauded for being a great coach, coaching in La Liga and the Bundesliga where you may get three teams per league who are equal to you is different than the Premier league where most of the teams will give you a hard time. I only hope Pep is man enough to realise his system may not work in this league and is willing to adapt rather than insisting everything is done his way.

Without doubt, Pep will have watched how the Prem works before coming to City. The top three in La Liga and to some extent the Bundesliga are better than our top three, but further down the respective leagues the Prem is stronger, with lower placed teams organised enough to inflict damage on the big boys. Pep's now seeing that reality, but I'm confident he'll overcome that in time when he eventually has his own team.

Sane and Kompany both played in EFL and Sane started against Everton.
Agree with the general sentiment that we are a work in progress and will have ups and downs though.
 
It's not the way we're playing that's worrying me it's the invidual fuck ups own goals and the red cards. I'm not pro footballer but I would imagine that a dodgy defence won't inspire that attacking players to perform at their best.
 
I believe most people said that the supporters who booed the players didn't attend today's game. If the fans want to boo that's fine by me, they pay their money and should be allowed to express their feelings especially with that shocking performance.
