I think a better word would have been stubborn rather than arrogant. Pep obviously believes in his team selections even when they have previously displayed certain frailties . The David Silva / Gundogan combination being one .
Well, but the exact same setup beat Arsenal 3-0 (H) some weeks ago.
But back then, we were showing our normal standards and scored.
Last night we refused to score, we didn't even take the biggest present - and then we all know how those matches pan out.
No City player last night had the confidence and belief he could score. The thought alone was impossible. That's really worrying.
I think Pep has to get them on the pitch in a completely different attitude, this one is absolutely unacceptable.
And in big matches against teams who only look for counter attacks, we have to refuse the ball and fuck their match plan. We beat Liv 4-0 on the break.
We need to be MUCH smarter in those matches.
I hope the boys forget this one asap (which I doubt), stop thinking and develop a giddy mentality aginst Real. Maybe this setback came just in time. When we - like David Luiz said - are humble and ready to work we can be grateful to play QF. When we think we are favourites we'll badly fail.
