Why can’t we just defend deeper until our injury crisis is over?

transfer window opens soon, get a striker who will hit the ground running, go back to basics and play 4 4 2 and see the season out

Not all injured at the same time though

Not all fit at the same time either.

Jack has been carried since day one , flatters to deceive on a major level , not given to any other player in the squad , unfair criticisms ? Maybe , but he’s shite , stunting better players who deserve much more play

Being played out of position. The one time he was played in the correct position (Forest), he looked half decent.

I have absolutely no fucking words,other than FUCK OFF!!

Played same position against Juve, he was poor.

On Pep, this. He picks the same shit week in, week out. The same shit that don’t look arsed. The same shit that dangle their foot into challenges. The same shit that are petty when they’re losing.

There’s youngsters who are eager to play. And they’d show a bit of determination in their play. A bit of fight. A bit of anything that’s not the usual shit that’s been served up for the past 2 months.

Emery was arrogant enough today to play two different tactics against him (Pep) and he had no answer for either. It’s embarrassing at this point and it’s numblingly shit to watch.

If I see somebody else say ‘it’s been worse than this’ then they need to look at the difference in the players. Jamie fucking Pollock isn’t Bernardo Silva. Samaras isn’t Haaland. The list goes on. The players we have should be doing better than what they are and it stems from one man - Pep.

He takes the plaudits - rightly - when things go right and he should be able to take responsibility when it’s going wrong. Highlighting injuries in press conferences? Do me a favour.

Whatever he’s been doing over the past 2 months hasn’t worked and he hasn’t changed it at all.

Same high line. Same players. Same tactics. Same blunt attack. Same tepid defence.

All while we have players at other teams - who were in our academy - showing exactly what we’re missing. Rogers with his energy and determination. Palmer with his bravery on the ball and guile. Both players Pep and Txiki were happy to let go so they could play their favourites.

Mahrez not replaced. Walker renewed. Gundo replacing himself.

Needs sorting and fucking quick.

The players are fucked. We have hit a brick wall, so we'll just have to suck it up this season. Ranting and moaning about personnel won't change anything. The "kids" won't change anything.

Great post. The players and manager are in danger of being remembered more for the most catastrophic decline in form over 4 months of any top side/champions in premier league history and fans becoming a laughing stock instead of leaving a legacy of being part of such an incredibly successful period of dominance for the last ten years never to be surpassed!
These players need to salvage some pride back sharpish and show some guts and bottle in the next few weeks until the new arrivals come in and the rebuild starts.

Fans becoming a laughing stock? I guess you weren't around when we were REALLY shit then?

Grow some fucking balls..

Got home at 1630hrs.
Fucking shocking all over the park today. Only 2 who at least tried a bit were Foden and Grealish and I am struggling with even that.
Rico Lewis...absolute shocker...again. Championship player at best.
Gundogan..should never have returned. To slow..legs gone.
Haaland...Awful effort again. Look at Isak at Newcastle. A workhorse who scores aswell. Haaland is a lazy lazy ****.
Those 3 for me were the worst but nothing positive from anyone today.
To see the likes of Lavia,Palmer,Porro, to name but 3 at other clubs doing well fucking reeks of penny pinching which solely lies at Txikis door.
Morgan Rogers today fucking so good. Oh look another one we decided wasnt good enough yet Rico Lewis is. Fuck off man
This team needed rebuilding post Istanbul but again we decided stick with what we have pretty much is another bad bad decision. Spend when you are on top. Lets see what January brings player wise. Sign players who can slot into the style or dont bother. Write the season off.

Pep has lots of credit but deserves criticism today. No Savio , Doku, or KDB to create from the start is simply unacceptable and then yet again subbing when the games gone is bizarre. We could all see they were overunning us in the middle again...Yet he waits. Fucking twatish decision

This team did not try today and for me that is simply unacceptable and I will NOT accept it.

STONES..sell. Cannot carry him any more no matter how much we love him.

Gvardiol after 10 seconds summed City up. If you cannot concentrate at the kick off you are no use to anybody.
After that it was one mistake after the other.
We are paying for our transfer mistakes. OK let Alverez go but why no one to replace him, that said looking at who've have bought recently I'm glad we didn't waste the money.

Did you miss out Morgan Rogers on purpose ? ;-)
