Yeah, I was surprised that Aké and Akanji were fit enough for the bench but couldn't do 20 minutes

Yep, what’s the point

Is it a rule that you have to name 7 subs as otherwise I agree. What’s the point of them being on the bench if neither can play 20 minutes of a game.

 

[stan bowles]

Don’t exaggerate now!

OK so calmly explain to me what jewellery you think he wears during a game to justify the wearing of that large bandage ?

 

[skillman]

So jealous watching other teams have midfielders full of energy in their pressing and getting forward. Our defence is fine. So is our attack.

It’s our midfield that we’re lacking. Specifically two 8s.

Replace what we have - or at least just introduce others - with two younger midfielders and we’d be laughing.

Who, though?

Reijnders?
Ederson?
Zubimendi?
FDJ?

No idea. But I presume the club does.

 

[normskih]

Not all have turned into people we’ve loathed.

We’re STILL MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.




Sorry @jimharri but I had to shout this time because it is not the end of the season. It’s just a blip. I’m beginning to get over the loss. :-)?

Good girl EB, that’s what I like to see, although I must admit, I’m cheesed off at another inept second half display from the Blues. Some of our players are letting the team down and in my book, it’s players that should be standing with their head held higher than others. Let’s hope Pep finds the answers pretty quick when they return from the break.

 

[madloaf]

Tear jerkers would be your forte!

I don't get it but I'm having a glass of wine so you get a like for at least not throwing a silly insult!

 

[Really_here]

They look miles ahead of us this season.

I wouldn't say 5 points is "miles"

 

[Rammy Blue]

Well we dominated the last 15 minutes (including extra time).

Really?

 

[ProofMCFC]

Maybe Ake and Akanji were really borderline otherwise they’d have started?

Maybe, but the whole purpose in being on the bench is is to come on if things need switching up and it was crying out for it. If Pep puts them on the bench there fit enough to play, especially if it’s just for the final 20/30 minutes.

5pts is not miles, ask the rags.

 

[MMA]

Huge case of players crying injuries with a broken fingernail for me..

Absolutely bizarre ( bar rodders) how many of ours claim injury week in week out..

Grow a set and play..

 

[JewelZee]

Not sure what's going on, but it's not letting me directly reply or quote @blubanjo. However, can't fucking believe an implication that I'm a fake fan because I'm critical of Pep after a run of 4 losses, which has followed a lot of underwhelming performances this season. Christ.

Pep is in as big a funk as anyone at the moment. Bringing this up on the forum is perfectly acceptable. If you're going to come on here and add nothing but name calling and display blatant homerism that's on you happy clappers. Ajm 1985, say whatever you want. It's all good bud...

 

[TinFoilHat]

4 away games on the bounce and 4 losses.

We've only lost 2 league games. No need to flap as once these internationals are over we'll claw it back as usual.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Well we dominated the last 15 minutes (including extra time).

You will never educate stupid people Tim, it's not worth the effort mate.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

I don't get it but I'm having a glass of wine so you get a like for at least not throwing a silly insult!

Not really an insult

 

[chaddblue]

The results since Rodri was injured papered over the cracks, but there were some worrying signs in the performances

Now its obvious... our season was over the second he was injured

I think Pep and the players think the same way too

If we get top 4 and nothing else the season will be a success under the circumstances

 

[1961_vintage]

Players are burned-out after 4 back-to-back seasons with inter-linked international tournaments.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Most of the players playing are injured let alone the ones that aren’t playing.

It’s going to look like the players aren’t tying as the games goes on. Try it, you won’t look good!

 

[Shirley]

OK so calmly explain to me what jewellery you think he wears during a game to justify the wearing of that large bandage ?

I said I think so perhaps it’s you who should calmly ask him

 

[Eccles Blue]

Please, please, please Pep do a Trafford United and STOP ALL our players from International Football and let them have a rest. But not go on holiday jetting off but recovering and resting together. Build the team spirit back up again.

JMHO.
