Nah they've had 3 weeks to get over it, worse to be PSG.

Maybe Bravo could play LB instead of keeper? !
Him and Clichy could do a half each in goal
Aguero diving in front of him didn't help either, if that is the chance you mean, I think that put him off slightly.
Weren't they flagged offside anyway?
well actually it is not you just play with three up front, a few years back fergis scoffed at city`s seven strikers, the year after we ravaged the league.
last night it was like ten man defense against ten man midfield absolute ugly football only pep to blame
Yeah you're right, fuck it Pep out

on the night only one player played below his ability De Buyrne . pep should have seen sanga and clichy are not wing backs and changed to a back three putting on Ieanacho, he should have seen Navas had no space to run into with stoke playing so deep, and brought Silva on both a lot lot earlier , instead he left them to get hung
Oh I do hope so:Yep, although getting and keeping him fit is another matter. If Isco is indeed available I'd hope we'd be in for him (again).
1/ He'd make a great addition to the team.
2/ I miss the D'Isco thread : (

We always miss a plan B a tall striker up top who can score with his head that Sane chance at 93 mins would have been headed straight into the back of the net by even Bony.

Surely Pep has to find a solution to break up deep defensive teams at home who don't come to play football.
Pep has to find answers here.
It was much easier in Germany, EPL is more defensive and physical.
You won't get many chances and have to be efficient.
Score first and you win 4-0. If not you're losing points.
KDB was suffering last night. He was left alone to create something. Yaya (too slow) and Dinho didn't help much going forward, sadly. Especially Dinho turns out to be unable to play creative passes between the lines as he simply doesn't have the eye. He is no offensive player (anymore?).
Navas was not an option for KDB to break up the defence. He is sticking to his side line, no runs behind the defence line.
So Stoke were able to concentrate on Sané and Sergio, and they massively did.
Keeping in mind our team was tired, Stoke got what they came for, but only by playing much deeper than they usually do (admitted by Hughes).
KDB is worldclass when he can move or pass into open space. Nothing like that available yesterday! He also didn't have options to play behind the defence as nobody was moving up front or was being covered tightly.
It got better when KDB replaced Navas on the right wing and we had 1 more option for Silva to deliver.
It nearly did work, just nearly. Shite.
So please don't get on KDB's back, there are much more factors and players involved than just him.

I'm not getting on his back, but he's been disappointing for a while now. We all know how good he is though... Just need him to play like it.
