Rodri still hadn’t signed a new deal. He should be asking for £500k per week minimum.

I think Rodri's abscence is getting into the players' heads.

Who do man Yoo play tomorrow mush?
This is when our team need us yet we get dickheads like this, fucking fanny

I've personally known @BoyBlue_1985 for quite a few years and I can tell you he's a Blue through and through. If you don't agree with his opinion that's your right but this sort of pathetic reply makes you look like the dickhead, not him.

The mods here have always encouraged people to call fellow blues who aren't 100% positive about city all the time ever, rags or dippers. Of course followed by the mods actually banning those accounts too.

Injuries are killing us at the moment..we are struggling to put out a strong defence because Stones Dias Ake Akanji are out and Walker doesn't seem right either.
Missing Rod and Kev in midfield also doesn't help..then add Doku Jack and Bobb into the mix and it's hard to cope because we have fuck all on the bench to change things when we struggle.
Losing against Spuds in league cup was a blessing and losing to Sporting was unexpected but not really a huge deal as we will still qualify easily.
Playing a depleted team against Bournemouth and Brighton who had no midweek games was always going to be difficult..we looked better yesterday in the first half but lack of options on the bench meant that as soon as we started to get tired there was nobody we could bring on to change things.
Once the international break is over and hopefully we get more bodies back into the squad we will start to pick up again, but it's hardly the end of the world being 5 points behind in November and we tend to come on strong second half of the season and other teams seem to falter when we put the pressure on them.
Realistically we need to start winning asap but if shit happens and we don't win anything then so be it.
At least I can't see us going 35 years without winning something ..

The positive to take away from this run is that I do feel that it's something Pep can sort - mainly because, injuries aside, I think the issues are ones he has exacerbated. Hopefully Spurs at home we can be positive. Liverpool at Anfield, we'll need to set up & play like we have done at CL away games - it means abandoning the 316, being more defensive and for the love of good not playing Gundo & Kovacic together.

Did they say on commentary last night it’s the first time City have lost four games in a row for 18 years? Do the maths and that’s when Pierce was in charge, does that mean we can bring back the ‘worse football since Pierce’ thread now it’s official.

There were a few raised eyebrows here when the team was announced.

I blame oasis getting back together. We where always shit when they where in their pomp

The worry for me was that Kev looked scared and I think he may realise himself that his race is run.
Watching yesterday's game I though to myself we are beginning to resemble the Rags. Can play alright for 15 or 20 minutes and then decend into the abyss for the rest of the game.
Let's hope this is not going to happen, the next series of games before the New Year will be crucial. With respect to the league and our ability to win it, I am feeling a bit like Kamala Harris must have felt at midnight last Tuesday.

Kev didn't look scared and his race isn't ran, he's been out injured for a decent amount of time. Young and old players alike are rusty when returning. The problem is, at this moment in time, with our injury situation, we are pinning hopes on unfit players like Kev
