Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

Probably asking a bit much, but there's no need for an overreaction.

We were poor but it wasn't a disgrace, or a disaster. Just a bad game, and we haven't had a year yet in our history without a bad game.

Been a great start to the season, and we're in a great position to make a challenge for the title.

Answered what? We didn’t play to the standard we know we can play, but I thought Brentford were bang average, they got lucky and weren’t the better team.

explain what we were better at today, attacking no, defending no, creating chances no, so how were we better

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you lads, thank you City, thank you fans. It wasn’t to be today. I take full responsibility I shouldn’t have gone as I obviously brought them bad luck!! :-(
Wholehearted apologies. Sorry. :-(






Just arrived back at my car sitting in the car park ready to turn on the engine so I’ve not seen any remarks yet. I’ll read later!!

This is no time for stoicism or being reasonable.

Sure everything that could be said will have already been said about that shit show, but the one overriding issue that drives me and my lad to distraction is the lack of pace in our side, it’s quite shocking how slow so many of our players are.

That said, in a world cup year where so many players are preoccupied, then 32 points from first 14 games is just about acceptable.

Pep needs to give his head a wobble about making subs, no excuse again for that today.

The lack of pace has been an issue for sometime, we are very predictable, we used to be devastating on the counter attack, so much so that most teams were feared to attack us in numbers.

Pep is almost untouchable for criticism but the lack of subs today was plain weird and also I don't understand his man management of Grealish, every time he produces he is dropped for the following game, not good for his confidence in my humble.

The performance today was so poor that the lack of subs can’t realistically be attributed to poor judgement on Guardiola’s behalf, as a fucking blind man could see that so many players were miles off it.

Can only assume he was making a point about something, as if ever there was a case for making all five subs, today was the day.

We’ve been poor for weeks now and Guardiola isn’t getting the best out of the team. Personally I think that we’ve gone backwards this season which is quite a feat after adding Haaland to the team. Lillo leaving could be a bigger loss than was appreciated at the time - defensively we’ve looked miles worse since his departure - and we may need a stronger assistant manager to curb Guardiola’s stubbornness.

I think this is ‘living in the moment’ commentary more than anything else. This is actually our best start to a season since 2018.

You say we’ve gone backwards but we started the last two seasons before this one with worse performances and worse results. It was only around Christmas that we began to find our feet, go top, and start to build a gap.
