Bodo/Glimt (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Tomblue]

Nunes is one of the best RBs in the league.

By what metric?

 

[Master-Lotus]

I’ve been patient and backed Pep, but I’m ready for a change. Standards.

Same. Let's just say if he got sacked in the Summer and Enrique who's leaving PSG was brought in, I would not complain at all.

 

[GLBlue1995]

I'm not having the excuse that some are exhausted...Erl , Rodri and Foden all started against Exeter

They play like they are exhausted, but Pep can't count to 15, so we grind them all to dust.

The lineup against Exeter was kind of embarassing. If we can't give guys a break on a day like that, what are we doing?

 

[The perfect fumble]

This makes me feel sad.

 

[Zabbasbeard]

Started playing when we were 2-0 down whereas that was Bodo/ Glimts biggest ever game. Did the players not know what to expect?

The attitude at the start of the game though was complacent and Bodo took advantage.

Everyone will be angry now but we have to get behind the team when it is difficult. Generally over the years, the attitude has been good.

I'm sad to say some attitudes need sorting - Haaland the biggest attitude. Foden needs to stop flapping his arms, and Reijnders needs to get involved more - luxury player so far.

 

[Palerider]

Weird from Pep. Two young centre backs and goalie left totally exposed, again, for the entire match, again. We seemed to play with a two man defence whilst the full backs were trying to be Vini Jnr. Incredibly naive tactics.

 

[PragueBlue]

By what metric?

By any metric.

 

[Roachy]

Injuries have decimated our defence , if we can field Nunes , Kushanov , Guehi and O'Reilly against Wolves it wil be a 100% improvement

Agree, only the midfield and upfront to sort out then.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Selection somewhat forced on pep tonight due to availability but as bad as Rico was on Saturday, why the fuck play RAN at right back? Keep Rico there, push RAN to left back and have NOR alongside Rodri to at least give some protection to the back four. Yet another brain fart in the CL. Need to beat Gala and hope some results go our way now, this result totally negates the win in Madrid. Team for Gala won’t be much different other than hopefully Nunes back and Bernardo will be available. But it will still be the same centre back pairing I think and of course Rodri suspended. Will Nico G be back, will John boy arise from the ashes?

Players bar NOR, Donna and Cherki need to have along look at themselves and ask are they giving everything they can? We need to sign some leaders as currently we have none, maybe Guehi can bring something to the table. Big game on Saturday now, at least Guehi, Semenyo, Bernardo and Haaland should be fresh and raring to go.

This forum is absolutely awash with realists

Time for City fans to show their mettle.

Shocking performance and deservedly beaten.

 

[Father Paul]

Haha, that blonde plank. Wow.

Haalaad was a joke tonight.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Left footed Ait-Nouri underlapping the left footed Cherki on the right wing and then Reijnders underlying Ait-Nouri only for a heavy touch to kill the move
Goal Kick!

Sick of it
Absolutely sick of it.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Awful. We've become a right soft touch.

Boring. Genuinely boring sideways and backwards until we get turned over on the counter. And repeat.

 

[ancoats]

Ugly
We are talking about players at City who do not want to play or are just walking about not even putting in any effort

Yes, lose to the better team, BUT sorry questions about who wants to play for the shirt and fans.

Haaland is the best striker in the world, but for the past 5 or 6 games he's done nothing and the truth is, he doesn't deserve a place in the starting 11 right now

The fall-off from Christmas is alarming and we are looking at where the next win coming from

 

[chaddblue]

May as well get knocked out of the CL

Absolutely no chance of winning it so why waste a small fortune watching that shite

 

[Don Karleone]

tell me how any other manager turns dog shit players like Reijnders, Lewis and various others into a better team

What should have happened in the summer as spoken about at the time was the moving on of Stones and Ake to recruit other defenders who were ready to start....We also needed to recruit fullbacks - we didnt - we bought one fullback who looks like he cant or wont defend and is more interested in attacking.....both of these factors are now bitting us on the arse and the board and fans who thought that we didnt need this are now reaping what they sow.

Rodri was also spoken about....people went mad when it was suggested that he may not come back the same player or that at least (even when Pep said it) that it might take 12 months.....and look again what has happened....

Any team that starts with Reijnders and Lewis playing is automatically 2 men down due to the fact that one is not good enough in ANY aspect of the game with the ball at his feet (Lewis) and and the other one wont or doesnt get that he has to be defensive and aggressive....

we are getting what we deserve but not what Pep deserves

The Bodo manager did it tonight. Fucking Carrick did it at the weekend. I love Pep, but he isn't gonna change and we need change.

 

[NptonBlue89!]

We take no fucking risks in their box, just recycle possession, but give it away so often in stupid fucking places.

Pep won't give a fuck though. He gets paid either way. And he let his favourite boy play another 90. So so happy.

We give Arsenal shit set piece fc and the own goals etc and hate to say it least they put the balls in dangerous positions we recycle on the 18 yard box and maybe create one attack every 15/20mins

 

[Gumzy97]

Bodo a team thats not played for 6 weeks Carney has just said

Yeah their season ended in November so we basically just lost to a team in pre season mode , they've only had a couple of friendlies to get up to speed for this game

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Citeh went up up north, up north and behaved like sahtharn jessies.
