Absolute shite ,no urgency at all passing at times was woeful .

 

[capiloton]

i give up hope since everton trashing.
City will go no where with shit player in defend.
no use to try playing beautiful and score every game, just to be ruined by comical defend.
sell/release all of them except Stones, please get Ederson too.

Spot on we sound like scousers on here blaming something else all the time. Navas appealing for a penalty at the end sums it up.The knob failed to deliver a ball in and starts moaning about handball -pillock. If you are good enough you overcome things not whinge-

Correct.

We've turned into a fanbase who is always looking at someone else to blame for things.

 

[simon23]

Disagree.

fair enough.

but not winnign today had nothing to do with that incident.....play anywhere near the way we can and pass like we can then that one incident wouldnt even being debated......it had nothing to with why we didnt win...we didnt deserve to

 

[super_city_si]

It takes a great deal for me to get angry over city since the takeover but that performance has infuriated me... I'm not singling one or two out but we have a spine of pussies.

A top side would of smelt blood in that game, especially after the chavs result, there's a good few in that team today that should be pissed off with certain team mates complete lack of heart!!

Couldn't agree more. All this talk Of shipping out 10/11 players, I hope it's fucking true. We need to change the mentality of the squad.

 

[hazmcfc]

Wasn't even Bellerin. Coquelin I'll give you but where's the other red?

what about the exact same foul fernandinho committed in like the 86th minute. Can blame the referee we should have been out of sight against a team that had zero confidence and every time we took that confidence off them we give it straight back to them on a plate.

 

[talkativesprout]

KDB for me is having a dreadful patch. His talent is immense(see pass for Sane's goal) but far to many passes are going astray.

 

[cadds92]

The most frustrating aspect of our game today was how we performed in the second half, it was like we were playing an exhibition game.

Arsenal are in dire straits at the moment and we couldn't have asked for a better start so why not smell blood and kill them off after the Sane goal?

Love Guardiola but he is realising how hard it is with bang average players and a squad with so many holes it's bordering on criminal how we have let it happen.

 

[urban genie]

What is this what pep wants? He is supposed to be the best manager in the world? Naval is a winger and not good at that, but let's start him as fullback in a must win game? Chelsea lost we don't make the most of it, I really don't get him, his ego clouds his judgement

Navas completed the most tackles and played ok, Kev was shite again today and Yaya did fuck all but give the ball away, easy to blame navas but he was far from the problem today, yes strange decision to pick him but poor finishing and casual play cost us.

 

[Blue Llama]

Lol how many" so"do we need to be convinced from the man?
If he gets a chance he will play 11 midfielders.

Trouble is too many of them played as though it was the warm up. Yaya shuffled into trouble and didn't look as though he was concentrating.

 

[BigOscar]

the penaly wasnt stone wall..nothign like it.....one of theirs should have certianly gone for a second bookable.....late in the second half ont he break....

we played really poor and if we had sneaked it with a penalty Id be saying the same that we got away with it...we wre incredibly sloppy from the point the first goal went in....even if we had played close t our best we would have won comfortably but that wasnt even close......so many misplaced passes from KDB, Yaya, Stones, Ottomendi, NAvas......sane constaly losing possession along with KDB when it was so simple to keep it...ottomendi nearly gifting them a third.....the first goal was due to numerous city players going to clear the ball and tehn clichy day dreaing playing the free arsenal players on side, .....giving away needless free kicks even inthe latter part of the match; ottomendi constantly doing his headless chicken routine......al examples of sloppyness

The ball was in the air for ages and he moved his arm out to knock it away, it couldn't be any more stonewall. As for the rest of that, it is utterly irrelevant to whether we should actually get refereeing decisions. You don't have to batter every team to beat them, you just have to score more than them and we should have done that if the referee gives us that penalty. Our chances also would have been a lot better had he sent off Walcott for going over the ball in the first half with a leg breaker, or if Xhaka had got a second yellow for lunging in like a lunatic on Yaya, or if Coquelin had got his second yellow for the blatant cynical stop on De Bruyne.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Should of beaten them easily. Instead we made them look good. Fair result on the day but 2 points dropped

 

[Marvin]

Would love the real Kevin De Bruyne back

Don't know what as happened to the lad

Run into the ground probably. He was poor again. Not sure anyone played well. Maybe Stones.

How bad were Arsenal on a day when City were rubbish we still dominated the game?

I'd have taken a point before the game but now it feels like a defeat

 

[simon23]

Nothing wrong with tactics. Problem was carelessness with passing and errors at the back.

yup

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Wasn't even Bellerin. Coquelin I'll give you but where's the other red?

Monreal, sorry. I thought Xhaka did a horrendous challenge on Toure for a second yellow. That's the 2nd red for me.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

A microcosm of the whole season. Plenty of chances to kill the game, particularly in the First Half, but always the nagging feeling that we were going to concede.

 

[Mattyc55]

Couldn't agree more. All this talk Of shipping out 10/11 players, I hope it's fucking true. We need to change the mentality of the squad.

Agreed. This squad needs a huge shake up - so many fucking spineless pussies and a bunch of coasters who know they're on the way out.

 

[FantasyIreland]

sorry but you are simply wrong....it was nothing like deliberate....the one where wellbeck pushed it through with his hand was deliberate and there is a very good arguement that Cocelan should have been sent off for that challenge on the break (second bookable offense) but there was nothign delibetate int he hand ball..the player is spinning round o see where the ball is...when you do that your arm coumes out to balance and it has brushed his arm...completely accidental

go on believing we derserved something out of that game and you will fail to see why we didnt get anything out of it....we were shocking and sloppy......so many passes not hitting their targets.....shit defending (which nearly also lost us thw game with ottomendi- not for the first time this season)......

I didnt say we deserved anything.......i said it was a penalty.

 

[SWP's back]

Happy with the point.

Roll on video referees though.

 

[MarsLlama]

I don't understand how an otherwise brilliant manager can be so awful when making substitutions.

Can we please give De Bruyne a few games off? He's embarrassing himself.
