But for a disgraceful performance from a linesman we wouldn't have won capital cup, sterling clearly ran the ball out that night, no penalty today in my opinion all we do is look to blame officials, we Slag other clubs, we say oh peg just wants to hammer high balls into the box and oh klopp is this and that, but when pep does shit it's not him it's the team, but when other teams do it the manager is a fraud, make your minds up either the starting 11 are to blame or the manager? Because we can't slate other managers if it's the players

assuming you are serious, you must have a very selective memory, whilst choosing to comment on the one decision in our favour in the second leg, you conveniently "forget" the stonewall penalty we should have had in the first leg when 1- 0 down, we eventually equalised before conceding a late winner, In all probability should have won the first leg. Furthermore, whilst discussing refereeing howlers against Everton, don't forget the injury time penalty not given in the goalless home game played around the same time, and whilst we are on Everton, don't pretend the blatant penalty and red card for Robles in January wasn't game changing as we lost 4- 0, it was in the first 15 mins and 0- 0 at the time. Its laughable that anyone can even mention decisions in our favour, most City fans are disappointed with many results this season (too many to list, today and last thursday included, but despite all these aberrations, if 4 big games against our main rivals, had been correctly and fairly refereed Chelsea home, Spurs home, Liverpool home and Arsenal away, even now (having dropped 4 points in the last 4 days) we would still be second 3 points behind Chelsea.

Good point. Although if not picking the same team in back to back league games until April has no effect what so ever of having players fitter towards the end of the season it makes you wonder why you would bother doing it to the extent he has at all.
 
We've seen today that Jesus' scoring wasn't just a purple patch. Give him a whole season up there and he'll outscore Kane. He'll outscore Costa and he'll certainly outscore Ibrahimovic.

How is making a comparison to last season having a short memory? Surely having a short memory would be saying this season is incredible forgetting that we finished 4th with relative ease in comparison last year.

I said I usually avoid controversy because I have such a fierce temper, but if you think we finished fourth with relative ease you are
1- using spice
2 - forgetting that West Pam beat the rags midweek to help us limp over the line
3- you are a rag wum
 
I worry about our home games against Palace and Leicester. I believe we will lose one of them but hope I am wrong. We have to beat West brom home and Watford away and then see how our rivals do.

Relative ease? We needed West Ham to beat the rags, second last game of the season. Be disappointed by all means, but don't rewrite history.

I assume trying to keep an ageing squad as fresh as possible. Other changes have been due to injury/suspension/poor form. I doubt anyone really expected Yaya to play as much as he has. Yaya, Sane and Sterling had played most games until recently when they have started to struggle and as such were given a rest. Silva was out injured today and KDB isn't in the best form.

We need a fairly major overhaul in the Summer and hopefully we'll end up with a younger and fitter squad able to fulfil what Guardiola wants from them.

Genuine question but I don't understand why so many people are sure it will be better next year ? What are the arguments for this ? Tactics and personnel have been questionable for most of the season. Motivating the squad definitely has. These are key traits for any successful manager to possess.
