[Great Kompany]

Barcelona Milan United Bayern - all have similar stories to tell

Empires fall - you don’t recruit right for long, you get complacent, you don’t carry the succession plan perfect, you make undeserving players caption, you over pay, you give a player or manager too much power , you hesitate to taken the right step at the right time and eventually shit hits the fan and clubs bigger than us have fallen prey to us.

Let’s see what will be done next -
Let players dictate terms wrt when they want to leave eg palmer or BSilva
let the going manager dictate terms wrt their succession plan - like the rags did
Keep manager longer than desired - aka Wenger
Keep going back to glory days again like Rags

Exciting season ahead!

We might actually be missing Rodri just as much OFF the pitch as we do on it. There is no leader in the dressing room to crack some skulls. Watch Rodri in the documentaries, he cares, he’s a winner, a leader, and he’ll do whatever it takes to drag us out of this. He wouldn’t have allowed it to get this bad to begin with.

I'm lost for words. I honestly cannot believe how shit we have become. This is Peps 1st season on crack cocaine. The team is fucked, lopsided, old and has no direction. It's clear he is off because these guys have fucked all of pep off currently

Thought we played better than I thought we would given the team.

Simpson-Pusey didn’t really well and was out best defender.

Kovacic was really good too.

Lick our wounds, patch up our injured and see where we are in March.

Agree about Kovacic, thought he had a very good game.

We played a great FH. We just don't have the squad to comepte for the entire match.

I like the 3 in the back, we looked more solid and Savinho and Haaland were great. People here will be way too over dramatic, but I liked the signs from today. We'll see what we look like when we have more players available, but I am pretty hopeful. Brighton is a really good team. I enjoyed that match a lot.

How did we look solid? For fuck sake Brighton had loads of decent chances. You enjoyed the match? Seriously?

 

[madloaf]

A single loss isn't as bad as 4 in a row

When we get to anfield it will be 5 or 6 in a row?

 

[bluemonkey71]

Absolute shit. Another game where we dominated then fell apart

 

[citymad]

I know he’s been injured, but it’s sad to see Kevin on the downhill slide. He’s had one injury too many. We have a lot of talented players still but too many are not putting any effort in. Without Rodri, we’ve been totally found out and teams will continue to have confidence they can win games. we’re gonna struggle to get top four at this rate.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Walker has been wank recently.

Saying this, i still believe City will win the league

"recently"?

Ha.

 

[WRicko]

I was called this that, and the other when I was criticizing us despite us winning earlier in the season, and, well, the chickens have come home to roost. I said giving Walker a three-year extension, despite Pep benching him in the CL final, was utterly ridiculous, and I have been proven right, for over two years now, at that.

The harsh truth is that Pep is more concerned about his net spend and how it looks upon his legacy than the quality of our current squad. I know that will be controversial, but surely this won’t: he’ll leave the club in far worse shape for the next manager than he found it. I refuse to believe he could watch Cole Palmer in our matches/training, day in and day out, and say,’ yeah, he CAN’T go on loan. He either stays or is sold.’ while having the CLUB’s interest at heart.

As I said before, a downturn was expected, but the squad planning has been awful, and if it solely has to do with the charges against us, then fair enough.


We’ve got a fight on our hands for the top four now.

Rubbish
