Three way tie between City, the ref and VAR for who was the most shite. Brentford were better.

The ref today was diabolical - as was the ref for the Fulham game. The VAR mob have the Sky and BT broadcasts on in the room. It's wrong - Sky/BT can influence VAR.

Brentford had early chances and were dangerous - Eddie earned his money. We were nowhere near our best and messed up our chances and for some reason kept playing the ball into the space behind Erling and not for him to run onto. But we were the better team, just not at capacity today. Crackpot scheduling of the World Cup had an effect. Just hope our players don't come home knackered.
 
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.

Cancelo, Akanji and de bruyne were all awful today.
Haaland didn't look fit and had no service.

Don't think we won a header all day.

Haaland didn't win any headers because the cross was always about 2 foot above his fucking head. I cant think of ine cross that he could have headed but didn't. All the crosses today Into the box were shit.

Could not agree with this more. It’s been so long since we had a decent left back I can’t remember what it feels like. I know we did try last window for Cucurella but Brighton valued him well beyond his worth. I note that he looks bang average at Chelsea so maybe that’s an indication of the dearth of decent lbs. Brighton thought they had us over a barrel with no plan B. They might have been right. I don’t regret not going deeper for Cucurella because I didn’t and don’t think he’s good enough but our scouts should have identified a left back over the last 5 years. To just sigh Gomez is inadequate in my view and the signing of Akangi demonstrates that money was available.

so true, I am calling for a new full back or 2 but not many around, unless we pay over the odds and that is why selling a defender would be a good option, also why not give the 2 young full backs a really good go and what had we to lose today, I think they would have run themselves into the ground for Manchester city today
 
Can some statto please let me know the ball in play time. They had 16 goal kicks, so thats 20 minutes taken off. Genuinely curious.

Its not that difficult,he picked the wrong starting 11 and,despite the fact every long suffering City fan knew what was coming.....he did fuck all to rectify it.
