Pep will sort it, he's had 12 months with the team, he knows who isn't going to cut it, 4 hungry players in that team we have will transform us, he can only work with the players he has and for now some aren't good enough...FOR NOW...

Very disappointing performance. They were there for the taking and we just didn't have it in us to win the game. Very concerned with the mentality of this squad of players.

Wasn't a great game , but wasn't a bad one either. Seen better , seen worse .
We need to do better at both ends at set pieces, always shit myself when oppo teams get a corner or free kick in our half, but when we get similar I feel we rant as dangerous, I know we have scored from them situations but I think we should be doing more.

We played ok, but we lack quality in the final 3rd. Sane was invisible after his goal, kevin is too fat and cant keep the ball, sterling was clearly not fit but we have no other options. Yaya was lazy as fuck, proved pep was right not to play him v monaco

Reminded me of the 2-2 at our place last season but roles reversed

They needed to win to stand any hope of getting in the top four we were happy with the point in the end. The team know they haven't got it in them to challenge for the league this season

We should be able to take them in the semi final based on that today

that's what we said last year...and the season before Bill!

Yep, there's a pattern emerging and it won't change until the day the youth lads are ready to step up for the club, the ones who have grown up with City from their teens.

The club needs to take a leap of faith sooner rather than later.

Dare i say it but he looks like he carries a little bit of timber which given the stance Pep took over Nasri would be surprising.

He definitely isnt an athlete,his physique is bobbins.

Completely different attitudes,and a complete lack of alternatives,means he may get some leeway though.

I really like Kev, and easy to remember how imperious he was last season, but I can't remember the last time he had a good game, he just keeps giving the ball away and not tracking or putting tackles in. The second Arse goal today was directly from him not tracking an Arse player that resulted in the corner.

 

[flb]

Pretty much sums him up of late. Not sure the deeper role suits him to be honest.

Probably get stick for this but I'm not sure he's a Pep player, his work rate is shocking.
