I've seen more balls on a snooker table. Grow some City.

Pep wouldn't have done what Conte did in that second half to see out the game if it was the other way round and that just about sums it up. Its happened countless times this season where the team has let leads slip especially that tottenham home game.
Nowt to do with pep first off...
Its the same old faces who are slowing the game up(silva), the same striker playing mostly with his head down, same lack of self belief from the established wingers/fullbacks(training must be the same 1 drill over and over), same lack of any kind of ability to nutmeg/wrongfoot etc(other than perhaps sane), same lack of urgency, same lack of anything unpredictable, same lack of willingness to play direct instead of pulling back and moving the ball square again and again...could go on.
Slow, unimaginative, and painfully predictable. The squad needs world class additions that already have a winning mentality. Let me ask a serious question here...which players other than yaya and tevez(long gone) have arrived from top european teams used to dominating week in week out? Really struggling to think of any here...this summer window needs to be the one where a few players(like isco)arrive from some of the very best clubs in the world. As i think adding young kids to the situation(unless of gabriel jesus quality) is not going to help with this mentality situation.
World class marque signings or pep will struggle again next season...calling that now and i'm willing to bet money.
Wont even mention the defense at this point.

You could argue that Nolito came far closer to creating a goal than Sane ever did. That pass was arguably the best moment of quality from any City player in the second half.
I don't understand why we signed Nolito. The coach clearly does not rate him.
Always wimps out of challenges tooHowever talented he is he's also a flaky player who's as soft as they come.
Watched the second half go by with no real fight to get level, you can't turn up for only 45 minutes of a football game. Second half Chelsea made a defensive change, at 2-1 down City needed to counter that earlier and throw on another attacker. I would of sacrificed Delph for Sterling around the 60 minute mark.

This manager has massively failed this season. He's spent £160m and yet there's no sign of progression. Like the last few years its individual quality bailing us out. If he actually bothered working on the defence then maybe we wouldn't be so porous and teams won't be able to carve through us like a knife through butter.
