Unforgivable for Aguero to take a penalty like that in such an important game. We’d have been on the lash now if he’d have scored it but I can’t remember feeling so low for a long time.

Did he not play Leeds, however I thought he was ok

Indeed he did. At least 3 out of 5 losses then. Hmmm.

Genuine question as he was far from worst tonight, but how many times have we lost in the league when Ake has started. Tonight and Leicester for a start?

Ake isn’t to blame here, if that’s what your getting at. He was really good in the first half, but looked knackered late on in the second. That’s understandable as he was covering that useless **** at left back.

Poor today... we were brilliant on Tuesday but so many changes - whilst inevitable really broke the back of the team... a few were struggling with fitness like Ake, a few have lost form like Torres and Sterling and a few have made it clear that they just ain’t good enough. We will move on but lessons will be learned... some of the squad need to be moved on because a few individual performances today were well below the standard we have set in recent years.

Hate to lose but we didnt give chelsea a chance to play against us in how we will play in the clf so im not to worried about that .Only Sterling did himself any favours for the cup final.We now need to put the league to bed against newcastle by playing a strong side

Newcastle looked good against Leicester and will play with freedom, not going to be a push over.

Do you want Tuchel to have a free shot at playing our first team before a final? a free shot to go away after today game and try and work out the first team weakness? playing a second team means hes never come up against the first team of man city videos can do so much but not more than actually being there seeing the best players play in their best postions.

Pep knows this. Dont give tuchel a free shot at seeing how our 4-3-3 formation plays in person.

Surely all he's got to do is watch previous City games

This loss was on aguero. Pep played it well, we missed a penalty and although we struggled at times it was our b team.

Weekend celebrations ruined…
A disgraceful proformance all round.
Chelsea rubbing their hands for the final.
Ridiculous line up to sow up the league.
Mind boggles.

 

[manimanc]

Any more like today and we will end up with nothing but the soft-drink cup

True, a wrong decision away from winning the game though.

you're that confident about our penalty taking?
