Not much to be said that all ready hasn’t been said. However I think some of the posts questioning pep and his knowledge/tactics are very far off. Also I’m not keen on people questioning the squads mental state and the such like.
I think this sort of result has been coming for a while. It’s how we deal with it that will show our metal.
I also think and have said for ages that our squad it very unbalanced and lacks pace. That little bit of trickery and burst of pace outside. Running at full backs and getting to the by line. We just don’t have that sort of option. We really need a full back and a bit of pace and trickery out wide.
Hopefully pep will have a few weeks to ponder how to work this all out.
There is a lot of work to do if we are to win the league this season.
so many things and changes could have happened today that questions will be fired at pep,
in his pre-match interview, he said nobody can coast or any country manager's have asked for protection in resting their players, Now after the
Lord Mayor's Show, pep looks like a fool because that is what happened,
Grealish will never get a better chance to play in midfield for city than today, Gundogan was shocking today and slowed everything down, so they could get back into their defences shape, also Mahrez sat on the bench with Gomez Philips, why sign a left back if you don't use him ? and after today Cancelo should be taking a big rest from playing and getting a big club fine for cheating
why not use the young full backs ? what had we to lose, even play a 2nd team with a mix of the EDS team
it was a shambles by the players today ? truly the fans got cheated today because they did not pull on that city shirt and played their best, this world cup is a joke and so much player protection has been used by their countries FA ?
i don't care what pep said, he has been asked to protect players, or they have let him down, if they let him down then come out and say it, because nobody at Manchester city today can hide behind that result
