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 ..

Well we’ve already won the charity shield

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.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

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.

 

[snorky]

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

 

[DMA's]

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

 

[ArniArason]

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

I couldn't give a fuck about your vouch, whoever you are...we need support not lazy criticism like his, it's easy supporting city in recent years, now we hit a blip and dickheads like him shout their mouth off, the point stands, he can fuck off

 

[Asa's left peg]

Think the majority us fans were not that shocked at the result when you look at the amount of injuries players playing with injections that wear off after an hour, old midfield! Pep don't help himself though he is and always has been pick the experience players first if they are fit and him keep switching players from all different positions don't help! Savino Nunes were doing fine on there wings what we needed was young fresh blood in midfield who could match the running of Brighton! I bet Brightons midfield were all under 25 plus they hardly played any games!

I know it was never going to happen, but the nearest thing to a CDM was Jacob Wright. He may have struggled, but he may have given us energy and more of a physical presence and protected the back 3. as he has been trained to do. After loosing the game, it would have been something to take away.
As for James. it's clear he needs a season away from us or sale with a decent buy back. Gutted for him.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Football fans of nowadays?
Fuck off I'm 60 and attended more than 1400 City games.

It's not my fault if you don't understand football and prefer to keep your head in the sand

Wow, and you have no experience of this? Grow some fkin balls and support your team instead of crying after what is it 10 games? We've been in worse positions before.

 

[CC1]

I'm done with this team

Absolutely disgraceful stuff. Can't even do the basics right. Developed a weak mentality and can't hang onto a lead. Only a few players are doing their job but we've become bottle jobs!!!

Pep is a spent force. In reality, most managers get a good 10-15 year run if they're a top manager and that's their lot. Pep is probably there now.


Without Haalands goals we would be bottom half. And nobody can say we would play differently and players would make up the goals if he didn't play because they wouldn't, they're all performing shite. Haaland should be looking for his move away.

Every dog has its day and we have. We'll be pretty much on the same downward spiral the rags have been for 10 years.

But that's football. You can dominate forever. English football history tells us that.

I've had a great 3 years supporting city, since 2021 because I wanted to support Grealish but I've lost hope.


Well done Brighton. Great spirit. Definitely a team I might align myself with.

Just had to laugh at this.

3 year supporter. Where are you off to next out of interest? Sure we can let their fans forum know so they can give you a huge welcome

Looked scared? I was scared when he went flying into a couple of tackles.

 

[dadnlad]

people class international break as rest period for players lol. they''ll all fly off round world play to us pointles games but to them it's representing their country. most will play two games come back 1 maybe 2 days before next league game with jet lag ( seen many poor games after international break )

That’s one of the most pathetic posts I’ve ever read, and the last 15 hours or so have produced some whoppers.

Hes done with this team. Imagine going into the battlefields with someone as weak minded as that?

Some have shown their true colours after yesterday’s result.

Hilarious, you’ve certainly got a few with that!

I thought he was fishing at first but as he’s only been a “supporter” since 2021 I think he either means it or is wumming. Rag probably

Well according to some it’s full of rags so…
