[Deepest Blue]

Swansea's draw means no serious damage done but Pep please stop with the smartass stuff.

Horrific first half. Ok second half, apart from the shite defending on the goal.
Getting pretty tired of seeing the same players putting in half-assed performances - no desire, no urgency, no fight, whatsoever, in the first half. Leaves us with a mountain to climb as teams then stick nine in defence.

Pep has a lot to answer for after that first half line-up - absolute disaster! He's getting it wrong time and time again! I'll give him another season but I'm getting less confident by the the game that he's the man for the job.

We can only blame the players so much imo. The manager has them using tactics that are just wrong.

If Pep doesn't get the players and tactics right next season to break through resolute deep defenses then we might as well get in someone more practical minded.

But lets hope that he does and that the youth coming through will blend in well soon too.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Threw away the first half and spent the second half chasing the game. Finally got a bit of luck but failed to take advantage.

 

[RayCTID]

A complacent performance from us (Pep should take some for the blame for that) but thanks to Jesus we got something out of the game.

 

[Wolfkin]

Piss take.

Poor first half which was down to team selection, although even I thought Sane and Sterling needed a rest. Corrected his mistake with the early subs and we salvaged a point. Could have been better but could have been worse.

 

[RochBlue]

Well done City for coming back twice in a hostile pit.
The look on the faces when the second went in was priceless.
Completely bossed second half.

 

[BlueMedic]

Dreadful first half, as bad as we've been.

Much improved second half; Sterling grabbed it by the neck as soon as he came on. Probably just about deserved the point in the end.

Have to credit Borough, they played really well, it's always tough against these sides at this stage of the season when they've still got the hope of survival; not an excuse for not getting the 3 points, but a common occurrence.

Hopefully easier matches to come against teams with less to play for. We're doing this the hard way if we manage to do it.

Pep keeps on trying to be too clever.

His team selections are self indulgent.

Keeps on trying to play a style which the players can't do. I mean if Middlesbrough can counter his tactics...

If Pep's told Kolarov to take a shot every time he has a yard of space he can get to fuck.

Granted, I believe it's just Kolarov being a deluded bellend.
