Chairman's Interview

[kaz7]

When is part two ?

 

[wolviedinho]

It was the morning after the game. Feelings about the game would still have been raw.


I have often heard 'weak mindset' being linked to our players over the last decade. Yet we have been the most successful English team during that period and won three very tight PL races. I just cannot buy into that narrative.

Good because I’m not selling it. In general I can’t argue with the trophies won but in certain games like the final if pep has not set us up perfect, the players can at times look fragile. The coming back from 1 goal down stat will to some extent back this up.

We looked inferior as if we don’t belong in a champions league final. The narrative that we don’t have any experience and should be privileged to have finally reached said final Is nonsense.

The club has positioned itself as a juggernaut over the last 10 years but mentally fragile in term if historical European achievements. Pep needs to stop giving the players an excuse not to perform. I said it before- pep is our strongest and weakest link. We needed leaders and fighters on that pitch. I did not see us lay a glove on Chelsea.

The occasion got to them and they could not handle the pressure.

 

[SWP's back]

You mean 10 of the best plus Sterling is the reason why we were beaten?

No, no DM was potentially the reason. First time in 60 games he didn’t play with Dinho or Rodri. And it’s in the biggest club match on the planet.

Sterling taking Foden’s space didn’t help though.

 

[SWP's back]

We won all 6 games before the final.

Getting through the previous two round playing our best team, which he then dispensed with.

 

[SWP's back]

If Khaldoon treated Pep like many fans treat him on here, he wouldn't have stayed beyond the 1st season (16/17). There are some brainless clowns on here.

Absolutely. I’m a big Pep supporter, always have been but he got it wrong against Lyon, he got it wrong against Chelsea. No one’s perfect and I’d rather have Pep than anyone but that doesn’t mean he gets everything right always.

very clever by city tv to hold it in parts again ? money for transfer targets and names being put forward ? maybe on hold until we he somebody in line and done in the pipe line ?

i have a good feeling that city have something BIG happening in the back ground right now and its close
so hold back the 2nd part and keep everybody guessing

every year khaldoons end of season videos are in 3 parts
spread out over a few days

You mean 10 of the best plus Sterling is the reason why we were beaten?

That one change was pivotal,it threw our shape,balance and solidity while playing right into their hands.Our players looked lost while there's couldnt believe their luck,again.

 

[Del_Bosque]

It’s all very samey corporate speak ev

“he’s a great human”

“Some of our best moments were our lowest moments”

Genuinely interested to hear what he has to say about the ESL though

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

No, no DM was potentially the reason. First time in 60 games he didn’t play with Dinho or Rodri. And it’s in the biggest club match on the planet.

Sterling taking Foden’s space didn’t help though.

Knock on effects - No DM meaning Gundogan pulled out of his more attacking position. Sterling in Foden's position. Why pep would have ever considered anything but the team that beat PSG, Lord only knows?

 

[super_city_si]

You mean 10 of the best plus Sterling is the reason why we were beaten?

Here's a team with 11 of our best players...do you think it would win?

Foden
Ederson Mahrez Bernardo De Bruyne
Zinchenko Stones Walker
Gundogan DIas Fernandinho
