Stones was hitting that pass because that's one thing he's good at aside from getting injured which he happens to be exceptional at. It's hardly surprising that pass went away when Walker came on

Good point!

O Reilly maybe but come on, mcatee is wank

Then why is he on the squad?

 

[Inter Me Nan]

I think with respect to Wenger I would agree but again Wenger was ahead of his time but he was caught and his refusal to change was his downfall,

Ferguson I agree he did win 4 in a row but it’s a moot point really, he won way way more titles because he was pragmatic, I’m not sure Guardiola could match that with his refusal to adapt

We are not looking at a few tweaks her and there we need a significant number of players

Did he?

Pep just showing what a stubborn arrogant bastard he is. Our team lacks the legs and skill to play such a highline possession based game. Players aren't arsed anymore. Dressing room lost weeks ago, perhaps we should just hear the 115 verdict, accept relegation and get a new manager. We might all be happier. No heart shown today except for Gvardiol and a couple of others, the rest are coasting.

So are you saying we are guilty??
Who do you suggest to replace Pep??
Yep Pep is stubborn but he's had plenty of success with his stubbornness..I'm sure he will sort it sooner or later.
As for accepting relegation and being happier..I for one wouldn't be happy.. wouldn't stop me renewing my season ticket but definitely wouldn't be happy, but then again it isn't going to happen..
We might not win fuck all this year or next but we have had our fill in the last decade or so.

It sounds as if he needs an operation. I hope they get it sorted out for the poor lad soon.

If it’s Planter F it spikes anytime and certainly on exercise. No operation can fix it

Change the players

That's a risk. I don't think 11 players all become shit in 6 months.
I may be wrong but Pep is after 15 years showing signs of decay.

Lavia is always injured ffs.
Delap wasn’t needed the season he was allowed to leave.
Same with Palmer.
Doyle is at Wolves.
Harrwood Bellis wouldn’t even be being discussed if we didn’t have 4 centre halves injured ffs.

The revision regarding the ones who have left is embarrassing. They weren’t missed for that couple of seasons as we’ve been successful and they weren’t going to all wait around.
Sooner people stop complaining about the ones who left the better.

He forgot to mention Morgan Rogers who we sold for one million , one fucking million .

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

Spot on.

Good luck to them all i hope they forge a decent career for themselves but none of them ,not even Palmer, were good enough to get into the City side of last season.

McAtee doesn’t get into the side cos he’s not good enough and can’t be trusted, simple as that.

Palmer scored 22 goals and got 11 assists in the PL in a team that finished 6th. He looked like a top premier league player the minute he signed for Chelsea, because that's what he already was when Pep let him go. I don't especially think it's the reason we're so shit at the moment (though I would much rather have Palmer than the inferior Doku or Savio) but I don't get this blind refusal to accept it was a big fat mistake to sell him.

You could say the same about Wenger, Mourinho and loads of others. They like players reach a wall.
