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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.
