Like the tough United that every team is beating or the tough Palace that are getting dicked 4.1 by Arsenal?

Palace away isn’t easy and the team showed resilience.

But that is the problem. You are accepting they are immortal immediately after they won the league, I'm not. Yes it hurt more because it was the rags but professional athletes do not go on the piss before the season has ended.
It told them that mentally the season had finished, further their bodies could not physically recover in time for the final.
It was an End of Season Party a week before the chance of a double double.
Professionally they could have gone on the piss immediately after the parade but if course, a lot had to report for international duty and we can't have that, heaven forbid.
Add to that no significant signings to rejuvenate the squad and keep it fresh.

they won it for the fourth time in a row. Imagine the release of pressure.

And it probably had because what they had achieved had never been done before and never will again I expect.

This run wont stop unless the system is changed because this system no matter how much glory it has brought isn’t working.
City were clueless second half.They look lost as the system that has worked so well is broken and these guys can only operate within the way they are tuned to.
Don’t care if I get flack and it’s been said before Haaland without Kev is a spare and we all know how teams play with ten men.
A couple of signings in January isn’t going to fix it and saying it’s all in the football cycle wont change it either.
All the reasons about burnout,injuries are true but we cant change any of that.
Somewhere a start has to be made on this and maybe some confidence will return

Khaldoons end of season talk will be interesting

Beat the 115 and stay up, he won’t give a toss

How did we beat Forest?

They were saving themselves for the rags who in turn were saving themselves for us!

What time is that on tonight

It was on in October

Their 2nd goal summed City up. As the Villa player waltzed through the middle of the pitch we tried to foul him.
We couldn't even do that.

You are right we can ask the question but i think the problem is more the players than pep. What can he do ? Throw the kids in ? That’s how this run started.
The players gave let him down

How about throw in the kids and give the injured and tired players some much needed rest so they return fresh and fit ? how about look at the long term for a moment.

Sorry Boulders but it might be time for you to go.

Does anyone know if Eccles still has that Barrett sniper rifle ?

Just watched it on the brief lowlights on the City site, Walker didn’t even put a block in, seemed more concerned with keeping his hands by his side.

It's so simple and clear the best thing Pep could do right now is bring in some Youth, It's how a youth system works or the EDS system should work,
