Nope, totally disagree. Go watch Stoke or Liverpool if you want men against boys. This was a far closer match, in fact a fairly standard match between 2 good teams, in where a couple of moments decided it. 60 seconds from where we should be leading we're losing, then 60 seconds before half time...

Agree with this post. Viera to come in is just silly. What I would say however is if we have Pep lined up & in the bag, then why not announce it? Seems the players are disillusioned with what's going on as it is. Announce that Pep will take over next season & make it clear to the players that...

This is always my biggest criticism of Pellers, just not learning, or straight out refusing to acknowledge very obvious problems. I mean pundits are quite literally pointing out what our weaknesses & problems are, and have been now for years for some of the problems, yet we just plow on as...

Get our first 11 fit for the 2nd half of the season & I see us stumbling to 1st or 2nd come the end of the season. Keep up with the injuries and poor tactics & we could miss out on top 4. This season is so open for both possibilities as everyone bar Leicester looks fairly useless.

You clearly keep misreading what I'm putting. I'm not saying the result was because of bad luck, in fact I quite literally stated that our manager was at fault for the loss IMO, maybe you missed that? Don't feel the need to repeat which aspects I called "unlucky" or what I meant by putting...

Aha. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but over 2 legs we should beat Everton (we really should) and who knows if we get to the final we may actually turn up for that match..

Agree with roll-on the Summer, but disagree with the write-off stuff. Every team looks crap bar Leicester. Yes we're tactically rubbish, but if we get our first 11 fit for the remainder of the season (sounds pretty unrealistic I know) then I see us challenging still. Leicester (surely) can't...

I'm with you. He made us play a couple of minutes with 10 men for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If we had conceded he'd be getting a storm of shit. Only thing I can think is that it was one of those situations where he had to go off the pitch for the injury, then would have come on when the...

No. Delph on the left wing. Yaya and Dinho in a 2. Pellegrini even said as much himself. Playing 3 CM's doesn't equate to playing 3 in CM if one of the CM's plays at LW.

Maybe you didn't see the quotation marks? Yes they had 3-4 chances, and took 2. We had at least 3-4 chances, and took 1. We had most of the possession and twice as many shots (only a couple more on target). Arsenal were poor; Stoke, Liverpool, even Swansea created more than them. Had we set up...

Nah. The pass to Silva wasn't on, same situation as Navas late on except Navas went for the pass. Both should have shot. Honestly I'm happy with him taking a pop, he hits his long shots very well on both feet & we have Silva for keeping possession.

Manager takes the fault. Playing Yaya in a 2 man midfield away at one of the top teams again is unforgivable. We actually played OK, and were "unlucky" to get nothing, but that "bad luck" comes from Yaya in a 2 man not bothering to mark Ozil, their best player, their form player, their only...

He was shite today. Feel he gets unfair stick at times, but today was so poor. The mistake for the goal was poor from both him and Delph, but not just that, he made 3-4 other big mistakes that were fortunate not to get punished. Wanted him to do well but just doesn't look cut out for it...

Honestly thought that was one of our better performances of late (which isn't saying much). We dominated large periods, could have nicked a point at the end. Was expecting far worse. The worst thing though is that before the game if you asked any City fan where the problems would be, I'm sure...

If ever a match summed him up.... Total liability for 75 minutes, same mistakes of playing him in a 2 against a decent side causing us the same old problems. Followed by looking by far and away our best player for the last 15. Say it every time, he's great in matches that we're dominant or...

Nah. Too old, too expensive, complete tool & won't leave Barca anyway. Barca tried him out wide & didn't work anyway, which would leave it him vs Aguero for 1 spot, which would be silly IMO - can't have one of those guys on the bench and playing 2 up top would force everyone else into the wrong...

Wouldn't bother me much. Be surprised if it happened though, think they'll go all out for Simeone.

Well Arsenal have won 4 of their last 5 in all competitions (admittedly so have we) and have actually been playing well. Think you'd be hard pushed to say we've played well as of late. That's the "form" I'm talking about rather than paper statistics. Think if you read through the posts on here...

Another hiding is on the cards for us on form. So I'm expecting a fairly comfortable win for us instead. Following the flow of this season in the PL.

Could feasibly be 9 points behind Leicester in a couple games time if we lose to them & Arsenal. Crazy. United were horrific, 2 shots on target at home to Norwich, even then it was a stuffy goal.
