[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Isn’t that what he reason why we evolve as a team and bring in fresh hungry players and not stand still

In an ideal world the answer is yes.

Gundogan coming in on a free late in the window suggests that wasn't the strategy though. Maybe we have gone one season too long on making do.

Or a certain KC has told the club the level of the shit we're in ;-)

Complete bollocks...how the hell can you ar5ive on yhese decisions.

We need to take more risks in terms of set up to get the best of our or players I feel.

I have averaged less than that over 14 years. I wasn't aware that there is a minimum post requirement.

There isn't. But it raises suspicions when posters haven't made many comments in the momentous times we've had, but appear when we lose. If you want to criticise the team, fine. They fully deserved it today. But also praise them when they've done well. Is that such a radical concept?

They drew away to Villa last week and beat Arsenal at home in the game before that. We were in for a game no matter who played and were beaten fairly and squsquarely

Perhaps so,but all the talk of the state of the team meant they "smelt blood" and went after us more than a team in their league position and stats would normally do. Imo.
Still plenty of time for our Glorious Blues to go on our normal unbeaten run.Fingers crossed.

Bournemouth deserved the win but they caught us at a time when its clear we are struggling with injuries and the consequences that has with a relatively small squad on playing time and trying to fit some round pegs into square holes.

Certainly we need an injection of new players as mentioned over the next two transfer windows if we are to stay ahead of the pack.

I doubt we would have started at least 4 maybe 5 of that starting line up today if we had suitable fit replacements and that took its toll.

Disappointing result of course , relatively poor performance in the main for sure but somewhat predictable and all is not lost this season by a stretch.

It gets harder to continue winning titles when some of your stalwarts are nearing the end of their time at City and you still rely on them week in week out.

Onwards and upwards with the Boys in Blue. :-)

Today wasn’t great but there’s always one of these results every season, even when we walked the league we lost to Palace or Brentford or Wolves. It’s not this result, it’s how we react that matters.

I make it 178 (15 years, less 2 months) months that you've been a member. You've got just over 2.6k posts. I make that 15x the rate of the poster you are referring to. Not sure how you think you've averaged less than him.

Shocking summer transfer window now biting us. Still not sure why pep did not change it at half time & put Phil in the middle with Kev & Doku on

I don't think Doku or Kev had 45mins in them. Pep was probably hoping he could bring them on with us winning to give them 20mins or so. Unfortunately that was not the case.
