I've mentioned it before, and I hate repeating myself, but has nobody seriously considered they know the outcome of the charges? Surely it can't be shit form, injuries and a lack of drive at the moment?

So what happened against Forest.

Questioning Pep pmsl.

Most of us are old enough and wise and experienced enough to understand that sport is cyclical and by fuck have we had some run with this squad.

Players are injured, it’s killed us and some need to go and be replaced.

It will happen, wipe your fannies, soft entitled cunts.

Have to wait till the 77th page to say something that makes some sense!

Pep isn't the problem.. the players are the problem.

And the sad thing is.. we can sum up the last 2 months and this last game in 2 sentences..

1. No pass to Haaland in the box till the 90th minute.

2. Too easy for opposition to counter without a good press.

How did we beat Forest?

How did we beat Forest?

They thought they were playing the 'old' Manchester City & shit themselves ha

How did we beat Forest?

I think I'll have to ask the audience?
I'd phone a friend if I had any.

So you are saying they knew the outcome of the case before it even started?

Do you think he's forgotten how to coach in the last 6-8 weeks?

An honest question...when has Pep ever had to coach a squad as littered with problems as this one? There is zero question Pep can manage elite players. But can he manage lesser players into anything resembling a competitive side? That is a valid question considering what we are seeing. There are squads with less than what we have now even with all of our injuries that don't look anywhere near this shit. We can't hold an early lead. We can't hold a late lead. We can't come from behind. We can't scrap out a few draws. While we can't put it all on Pep the idea that he is blameless is ridiculous.

 

[yerwot?]

The manner of the goals against....Leave the door unlocked and get burgled..simple as. When it happens continually, teams look forward to playing City, gone are the days when keeping it respectable was a triumph...Age and injuries exacerbate the situation, not sure they are solely to blame for what's happening on the pitch.

So while this shit continues I will continue to steal money of the bookies, 9/4 I got for a Villa win, Everton next, might as well lump on, I hate backing against my team but it's the only comfort I'm getting at the moment.

Can you name a manager who can get effective performances out of a squad where 70% of his players are either injured or unfit? Anyone at all
