Is there anybody who didn't expect that in the second half

A replica of sporting. Bunch of past it geriatrics who can't play more than 45 minutes and who no longer have the desire

What has happened to Foden? He had so much promise. His career is taking a nose dive!

Fuck me let’s not completely lose the plot, he won POTY a few months ago

 

[Rammy Blue]

I didn’t think I could witness a second half as bad as Lisbon ever again. Jesus what a shitshow that was. Fully deserved win for Brighton who should have easily had 4/5 goals.

This team has zero bollocks when the going gets tough.

Walker - hideous
Lewis - hideous
Gvardiol - what is he doing for their goal?
Gundogan - what a mistake this was
Nunes - Fuck me. Where was he second half? Completely lacking in the right mentality
Foden - gash again

Peps decisions and subs - shite. His decision to play key players in a game he didn’t even want to take seriously (or so he says!) has absolutely cost us .

All in all yet another crap performance in a season of them. Playing well for 30 minute spells isn’t good enough.

I can’t believe he allowed that to carry on happening when Walker and the kid weee struggling so much. It needed another body. It doesn’t always have to be a defender. Surely Silva could have played LB and Lewis switched over to help out. Shocking

Thanks mate for saving me from typing the same, summed up perfectly, abject.

The only thing missing imo though, is it’s on Pep. It’s over.

Meh, we will be a lot better after the break. The Bournemouth performance, getting spanked by a Sporting side we should have seen off in the first 30 minutes to fuel the media wankfest for Amorim did hurt and were a bit annoying, but today we played decent against a very good side away with several players out.

The squad has been managed terribly in the last couple of years but we already knew that. Title might be a step too far this season but we aren't a million miles away either. I'd actually prefer us to lose these games rather continuing to paper over the cracks. Viana needs to see that we can't go into next season relying on Gundo, Bernie, Walker and KdB with another year in their legs.


We will be fine

Walker has been wank recently.

Saying this, i still believe City will win the league

He always used to get away with mistakes using his pace and athleticism, he looks to have lost a few yards to me.

The things that I think are hurting us at the moment:

- Rodri, Dias and Stones often beat a player before they pass the ball which allows the system to start as it puts the opposition a man down. Kova did it twice today and one time was when we scored but this wasn't great opposition today and he hasn't been doing it much against anyone else. Noone else is really doing it....
- Apart from KDB (who is becoming an OAP/Crock) we don't have anyone with vision. Walker often seems to be the player with the most creativity. Foden isn't hitting those levels and is more interested in scoring, Bernardo seems to have regressed and the Gundog that came back is not the same one that left.
- Today showed how much we needed Grealish. Nunes played a really poor impersonation of Grealish's role in the team today.
- The wingers need to work on their end delivery. KDB can do cut backs and curly inswingers/outswingers every time.

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

It was a good competitive match. So did we. Brighton had 4 clear chances (2 goals + a header + 1v1 from Joao), we also had 4 (Savinho 1v1, Haaland goal and another 1v1, and Haaland cross thst was barely deflected). We both had several minor chances: Brighton another header, a long ball for 1v1 that Eddie controlled it well. We had Savinho shot that was barely out, Foden and Gvardiol in the last minutes, Haaland's header feom a corner with no GK... tell me if I am not correct with the assesment of the chances. Entertsining match overall.

 

[meeesh]

Can’t see where next win is coming from, woeful this shit

 

[bluemoon32]

No leaders today, their gonads have all shrivelled up

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.

Leave the club in a far worse state than he found it.
Behave yourself
