Brentford (H) | Post-Match Thread

[coley_ctid]

We got what we deserved which was nothing.
Stones in an attacking sense was woeful, he played the game at a snails pace.
I can't remember a single chance for Haaland who looked like he played teh game on roller skates!

Well done to Brentford, they wanted it from the first to the last minute.

Too many players not taking any risks ahead of the WC.

Pep sh*t show.

 

[Gabriel]

Shit timing this defeat but am sure with Bernie in the middle we would got a much better tune out of the whole team and won…. Oh well fuck it.

Consistently our best player yet he’s often pushed into positions to accommodate others who aren’t nearly as consistent.

 

[WorthlessPoster]

So much for all these cunts who said we would hammer them. You know who you are

Reporting for duty!

 

[citymad]

Worst performance for a long time. Well done Brentford superb defensive display with quality up front. Well deserved. Up to Gooners now to take advantage.

 

[splinter]

Good character builder for the younger blues..mcfc OK

Unprofessional from a lot of the players with their eye on the World Cup. Cancelo is having a terrible season. Kev another stinker. Haaland had no service. Stones is pathetic at RB, especially going forward. Arsenal huge favourites for the title as they have had a more difficult run of fixtures and are going to be 5 points clear.

Yup I think Arsenal are odd on, they will run us ragged and I’m not convinced we’re good enough for 2nd after todays can’t be arsed performance

 

[simon23]

I don’t think stones did anything wrong

stepping on the pitch for a starters today

Appalling attitude....strolling around, half arsed in everything he did whether defensively or attacking wise....he failed to compete at all.....same with Cancello

 

[richards30]

How come Jack can’t even get on??

 

[IT and Me]

Very poor performance, all round. Surprised we didn’t use the bench more. Didn’t deserve to win. Not happy but shit happens! Onwards and upwards.

 

[bigalfromeccles]

You can blame the ref or the world cup all you like. That's been coming for a while. Pep needs to learn that substitutions sometimes change a game. His management was as bad as some of the players performances.

Cancelo is an absolute shithouse both defensively and for his play acting.
He represents everything that is wrong with football. Hopefully we ship him off to the continent where he belongs.
"Best fullback in the world indeed"

hey I keep getting hammered every time i point out how gash cancelo is...Most others were today though.

 

[malg]

They deserved that. Always looked dangerous coming forward . The time wasting was annoying. We were absolutely awful.

 

[ancoats]

Cancelo should never play again for city after that dive and cheating, hate cheating by players, and we are quick to call others that do it ? Disgrace

as for the game, truly the worst game of the season and no matter what pep says the players did not give 100% and coasted the game knowing the world cup places are more important than playing for Manchester city, maybe questions again pep about the 5 subs not being used then moaning about the players are knackered,

BUT I will say we would have taken 2nd place before the world cup with still having arsenal to play twice

 

[chaddblue]

Disgusting performance. Kev should be ashamed by his total lack of effort

 

[grant1977]

Half of them clearly had their heads in Qatar. Fair play to Brentford

 

[kingdoneg]

I've said it many times before. We simply cannot defend against any team that are quick up front. Our defence is always too slow. Add to which the overall poor performance of the players and their inability to pick out a pass to Haaland. Meant we were always going to struggle. Pep once again, got out strategised we have the players but Pep refuses to make the changes.
To me many of the team played as if their mind was on the World Cup and didn't want to get injured.
Losing to Brentford at home..! I'm gutted!

 

[Gumzy97]

Actually miss Jesus, Leroy and Sterling. Our wingers right now are appalling apart from Foden.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Gundo is a cracking player to be able to bring on as a sub.

In some games he shines, in games like today he is completely ineffectual, and when he actually stumbkes upon a chance he completely throws it away

 

[daztrueblue91]

A bad day at the office really. Ederson aside, I don’t think there is another positive to take from that performance.

We haven’t really played well since beating United and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it’s since Walker has been out injured.

 

[SidJames]

How the fuck does he just sit there the way he does waiting for the moment of inevitability

The writing was on the wall 10 minutes in to the second half.

It is like his Ego is so Big he believes he can never EVER get it wrong.So becomes even more entrenched and determined not to change things.

Thankfully these games are rare and very few.Still you can 100% guarantee every season we will get a few of these Games against Liverpool and latter stages of the Champions League that usually results in out exit.

We didn't need to lose this game.

We needed to fundamentally change things.Bring on Jack,get him going at their box.Stop lobbing Balls in to their back 9.

I hope Pep parting Gift is not a League Title to go with the FA Cup to Arteta.

Criminal in game management today,fucking criminal.
