RealLy?! No way.

Playing OUR Way NOT Theirs

Mendy and Gundagon interchanges on the left mainly ended with loss of possesion, wank.

Pointless going on about wholesale changes as that is not going to happen. Stating the obvious but the few changes that City make will need to be the right ones and the club needs to make sure it does not lose out on the players that it wants.

The players will have to have the appropriate technique and intelligence to play Pep's way but bigger, stronger quicker and more energetic will also be important.

 

[Ban-jani]

I get it, I just can’t get too upset about it but fuck it, everyone has their own way of dealing with a dire performance.

Yeah, I want to smash their skulls in

We have now lost 6 times this season with Gundogan starting. 6 times.

Who else started with him those six times (;

 

[Marvin]

I thought compared to his higher profile team mates he showed a lot more then any of them. He wasn't eye catching great by any stretch, but I was interested to see how he'd perform, I was happy to see the occasion wasn't to big for him. He wasn't at fault for either of the goals, the fault for those lie elsewhere. He should be a solid 3rd/4th option next season while he develops.

I like him as a player and he was let down by Mendy switching off for the 2nd but I can't say he had a good game. Only player who for me had the better of his opponent was Mahrez and we ended up taking him off. AFter that it was just high balls into the box and no one of getting to the byline and pulling it back which is our usual game.

mendy is absolute dross runs like he’s got a hunchback can’t run, defend, slow and hits and hopes his shit crosses... gundogan has been shit for 2 years ( and before i get we won leagues and trophies) united won them with chadwick, may, jones!! so let’s not go there!! city need left back another ch, midfielder and a striker

I read this as a continuation of @kaz7 quote of peps post match comments..

The concentration levels of the players this season has been shocking. We have lost 13 games this season and it’s mostly to sides who are happy to sit back, allow us the ball and hit us with quick forward play on the break knowing that our defence is shit. Exactly what we used to do to sides.

We are becoming the ultimate flat track bullies. Hammering sides at the bottom or with limited attacking options but struggling against anyone organised and with pace in their forward line.

Which players have been better than a 7/10 this season? Previously they were ALL 8 or 9.

Where has the press gone? It was none existent at times tonight,

Silva going, Fernandinho legs look gone, Aguero injury prone and in his 30’s. Who is going to take the bull by the horns and start leading this next bunch. Who is the next captain?

Very disappointing end to the domestic campaign given who we were playing.

 

[Marvin]

A day made worse by the worst double act in football commentary.

 

[City Man]

I agree, we did it to ourselves. Arsenal did what they had to do and we let them through our own poor performance. It's done now lets move on to the CL.

Exactly. Hopefully if Mikel takes Arsenal to where they should be then we may have our next manager. Meantime we roll on to the next game
