Watching replay Thats a clear red on the foul on gvardiol

 

[Great Kompany]

It’s amazing how our both competitors for the 5th spot - Bournemouth and Newcastle are better than us!

 

[bluegaz13]

Haaland needs to do a lot more.

I know he gets paid a hell of a lot of money (Haaland)….. but it must be so frustrating to play with Savio and Doku….they never deliver the ball into the box.

 

[DTKOAG]

Happy with a point to be honest.
We have to accept quite a few teams that are better than us this year.
Big game next Sunday

 

[p.taker]

We aren’t making top 4.

How about Top 5?

 

[cityblue123]

I could except a drop in this season's performances compared to seasons gone by but to fall off a cliff!!!!!

 

[Barrowby Blue]

I thought Brighton were very good and quite physical. They were allowed to get away with a fair bit of pushing and pulling whereas we were penalised for it. The yellow for Dokuwas was ridiculous. What was he supposed to do?

 

[super_city_si]

Guardiol just keeps getting sucked into the middle and the ball out wide is always on. Every time our wingers got it they had double coverage. This season it always looks like we are playing with nine men.

Thats all on pep. Teams know what he’ll do and their instruction is to wait for the turn over and hit the opposite wing early then it’s 1v1. Every single week.

 

[homerdog]

...if we want to get back to where we was.

 

[marco]

Lewis and Gundogan playing 90 minutes is all you need to know. Nowhere near the level City need.

neither will be here next season with a bit of luck, Lewis just does not cut it for me

 

[dubblue]

Nico O’Reilly is better than him. Is he even a Spanish international.

No hasn’t had a senior cap yet.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

and Lewis

I don’t want Lewis anywhere near a City side, including the ladies team!

 

[Bluearmy]

How about Top 5?

Questionable

 

[jollylescott]

I watched PSG the other night and their team has been rebuilt with young, fast creative players. In contrast, we look like a ponderous team from another era.

Viana has a huge job on his hands, and I don't think it's going to be solved in one summer window.

 

[Legal Alien]

Haaland needs to do a lot more.

He makes runs every game, but no one makes the pass.
This is his third season but we still don't play to his strengths enough.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Biggest drop off since Son of the Mask.

 

[malg]

I know he gets paid a hell of a lot of money (Haaland)….. but it must be so frustrating to play with Savio and Doku….they never deliver the ball into the box.

That's my point with Haaland. He doesn't know when to make a run as he's never sure when it's coming in.

 

[Goldust]

No hasn’t had a senior cap yet.

Says it all.

 

[BlueDan91]

Gundo/Bernie have come out in recent weeks saying that we're not tired, and age has nothing to do with it.

So I'm left to believe some of the players have downed tools.

Understand fully that what we've done in the last 5 years is unprecedented but the fall off is something else this season.

Players all of a sudden can't trap a ball, have no first touch, can't pass, have no concentration, and are woefully out of form.

Loving Marmoush, think he's going to be very important for us when he's truly settled.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Don’t you find this booking for keepers time wasting a waste of time? It’s always done in the dying minutes of a game. Seen to be done stuff, that’s about it.

Sometimes I think the fckin ref does that to waste a bit of time himself.

Mind you, the way we are playing atm, its probably for the best.
