I'll convey that.

Thank.

Add me to that as well. She clearly knows fuck all, bin her

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Maybe. Or maybe it's because we have about 56 players injured.

Maths your strong point. How many of Rodri's and KDB's backups are injured of that 54?

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

I know Kev takes a few games to get up to speed, but dear god, his body language was atrocious in the short time he was on.

 

[eyalluvitt]

The only positive is it wasn’t back to back 1-4 defeats because it should have been

 

[Crooked_rain]

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.

 

[RayCTID]

It could be 7 defeats on the trot looking at the fixtures.

We can still win the league though.

It just about do-able but we cannot afford anymore defeats which is near enough possible on current form and state of the team. A couple of new signing scould possibly help but finding the right ones and the bedding them in the team is easy said than done. We very rarely dip in the January transfer window.

 

[blueabdi]

We tend to collapse faster. No excuse at all.
i hope diaz, stones, akanji and ake to get back soon after the international break.
We also need right back next season, walker is been poor for awhile.

 

[Stelea]

Liverpool are better than us right now.

Not just Liverpool. Wouldn’t trust them v anybody at present

 

[awest]

Every man and his dog one knew walker had to come off - but his didn’t, therefore we lost

His head went for a good 10 minutes. Reminded me of a boxer on the ropes.

 

[hilts]

4 on the bounce, At least Stuart Pearce can say he has something in common with Pep.

 

[chaddblue]

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

 

[kunaguero10]

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.

 

[ScottSinclair]

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

 

[ShaunMCFC]

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.

 

[SamTheGuru]

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.

 

[city warrior]

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

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

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
