Barca v City Post Match Thread

he can only work with what he's got. We all said we'd be happy with a top 4 finish and a cup, that is still on the cards. It's the Summer where will make the signings he needs.

If we don't win the league this year it will be a failure simple as

Totally agree mate.

It's cringeworthy that some think we are ever going to reach the level of the likes of Barca - we seem further away than ever. And the so called best manager in the world...hmmm.

8 years ago, you wouldn't have thought we'd be where we are now.
Carry on cringing.

and why's that?

 

[blue by birth]

Because pep wanted him here and thinks he's good enough and funnily enough I do too.

Well Pep might think he's good enough but I really don't, rather have Joe anyday...but its all about opinions mate and Pep has made mistakes in buying players before ( as all managers do occasionally)

Very much this.

We WILL win the league though im certain of it.

Up shit creak if we defend as bad as tonight

Are you saying we shouldn't have got pep in then?

Fuck me, it'll take time to get in who he wants but we'll get there.

No I am not. But I think it is idiocy on his part trying to play football that is not possible with the players at his disposal.

I call out Otamendi because I am tired of seeing him facing our other defenders. He runs around like a Labrador that has found the feint scent of a woman on heat, sliding in 40 yards from goal, out on the left wing, out on the right, in fact everywhere but central defence. He is the Daniel Sturridge of defenders, plays for himself at the expense of the team. His style lends itself to looking excellent some games, winning tackles and sometimes dominant in the air but more often than not he is a primitive defender that costs us time and time again.

Give it a rest. Otamendi played well tonight. He won many one on ones and intercepted
loads.

Thank fuck you don't manage city.

Otamendi is playing his last season as a regular at City, there is no way on Earth Guardiola will put up with him doing what he does. He warned him earlier in the season about it and he continues to make the same errors.

Obviously not happy with the scoreline but really encouraged in the main by the way we played.

Pep has only been here for a very short time. Give him more time and a couple more transfer windows and we will be fantastic !

Who is the best manager in the world then?
