Sure Pep will be pleased that we passed it a lot and played it out from the back
 
Needs to hold his hands up and admit he made a mistake bringing in bravo for joe. Needs real central defenders who fucking have a clue. We focus too much on attack, get the shit bullied out of us when we go forward and get ripped to shreds on the counter. We have no balance to our game.

He'll do well to get us top 4 this season. Caballero to start from now on. Kolarov to be dropped and Stones too. Play a back 4 and stick to it. Yaya to start in place of Silva or Gundogan. Jury is out on this team and the manager.
 
Oh I recall how I was slagged off by the MP haters on here when I suggested that unless Pep can win the title and a couple of domestic cups he will not have been more successful than MP. I have seen nothing to make feel any different. I hope Pep has a plan B thats all I can say.
We have to give it time.

I did post that people were getting carried away after 5 games, and that we started that well last season as well, only to be told that everyone could see that last season's start was papering over the cracks that were obviously there.

Again........we need time.
 
Absolute gash at the back and had we not had a good start to the season when teams were wary of us we would be in a really bad position now. Pep needs to adapt, if he won't or can't he isn't as good as he thinks he is unfortunately. All the blame will be on the players but good managers adapt and use what they have available, he isn't doing this. We are shit going forward as well so there is clearly something very wrong. No doubt he will blame it on the bad finishing, not understanding the refs in England or some other bullshit but he needs to look at himself.
 
How many people were incredulous that we were spending tens of millions of pounds on attackers again this summer when we have 4 30+ year old fullbacks?

This entire forum of middle aged over weight ball bags could see it yet Txiki couldn't. Sometimes football isn't as complicated as made out. You have a bunch of old slow has beens: they can't play the pep way. shocking isn't it?
 
Letter to Santa Claus ...

Style over substance right?. We have been watching this new era and the team change over past years and it is clear to all that the team is not good enough at the back and at the moment I will take Champions league qualification. Not defeatist but realist. Qualify for the top 3 or 4 and build on that next season. This insistence on style from the manager is and will always remain a fallacy as long as we don't have the players to implement and this typical City dark misfortune also does not help either. We had a lot of that dark misfortune against Chelsea with the chances and the ref being such a tool and this game also had that as well and I don't know how this can be addressed or tackled.

Guardiola has a lot of work in his hands, that is for sure. We dominated the match today and created a lot in the second half but the ball kept flying past the wrong side of the goal, Vardy had a sniff of a chance and managed to squeeze the ball in from a tight angle. Then you have the ref being as borderline corrupt as you can get. Yep, not a good time at the moment. We need real humility from the manager, we need the defenders to find a way to play better and we need a bit of luck.
 
I may well be wrong but I think the players are getting stuck between the way there used to playing and the way Pep wants them to play which is resulting in a very worrying scenerio. :(
 
Sorry you can't blame the ref for that.
The defending was school boy stuff.
It was embarrassing
He's not blaming the ref for the defending or the performance but a penalty is a penalty no matter how badly we are playing and we never seem to get them when we really could do with the right calls made we get no help whatsoever they enjoy piling on the misery it seems. He even made an interception for their third goal the cheeky git with his tramline hipster haircut.
