Amazing how some can’t take any criticism of any players. Bizarre. its just my opinion

You're a dick plain and simple. Show me a post of you saying how Haaland was so crap last season. Hang your head in shame you. You're no city fan

 

[OB1]

And?

And, we all have opinions.

 

[City Raider]

The only crumb of comfort is that it’s Pep and he usually figures it out. This might be his biggest challenge yet, especially if KDB not firing straight away on return.

It's not criticism to say kane is better than haaland though. It's just whataboutery against a man who broke scoring records last season.

OK lets put things into perspective as to how and why we got our arse kicked tonight .
From start to finish can we name a POTM apart from Eddie who at least made tow important saves.
City fans please accept that we are nowhere good enough to win the PL. Yes you agree ?? Take those Blue Tinted specs off and say why if you disagree !!
Ignore the fact that we had a weakened starting team tonight, but we are nothing like the team we have been over the last three seasons. WHY ?? We seem to have lost our fight and spirit and yet in the CL we are just the opposite and seem unbeatable over the years.
PL to me we have lost but CL I really think we will win. Seriously !!

What utter shite.

The conspiracy theory i read from this place is embarassing.

They should get off from social media for a while and take a fucking break.

Jack purposely got booked so he didn't have to play against his childhood club.

Pretty wank that.

Dont talk crap

FT: Aston Villa 1-0 Manchester City

Martin O'Neill
Former Aston Villa manager on Amazon Prime
Tonight it was a good time to play Man City. There was no real aggression in their team. They were backing off players.

 

[levets]

Pep has wrote him off. He'll never play another minute for us

Certainly looks that way.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

It wasn't the squad, it was the tactics. We were outplayed everywhere, standing off and looked like a shite championship team.
I don't think there's any excuse for that. If he thought we had a weak team then plan for that, it was shite all round

It's not the team I would have picked, I'd have started Kovacic, with Stones in defence, stepping into midfield, I'd have also started Ake but would it have made a difference? Probably not when everyone apart from Ederson has a 4/10 performance. I'd also have hooked Alvarez when we were clearly getting overwhelmed in midfield but again do we have anyone on the bench good enough to make a telling difference?
