Have we lost the last 3 games torres started?

Unfortunately for Aguero, I don't see Pep giving him many more minutes this season.

Ferran needs to play as a center forward, he just offers nothing out wide right now.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

He moaned at Sterling for scoring.

That's sad but true. The body language from Sergio was very poor today generally. It doesn't affect his legend status but it's a shame his career at City is just fizzling out. It was so out of character for him to try that stunt with the penalty. He has always been a team player. You could see today how hard it is for Pep to juggle the squad and keep them all happy.
The display was in stark contrast to Tuesday. Today our players were mentally weak. Most of them know they aren't playing in the CL final. The exceptions were Sterling and Jesus who still looked hungry.

 

[ID70]

Again not too many of that team playing themselves into contention as first choice starters

Torres plays completely different when he plays centrally.

Miles off the level we need

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.

Exactly. If we struggled today with our strongest team, I would be bricking it for the final. Walker, Stones, Gundo, Bernardo, Kev, Phil and Mahrez all to come in. A complete different team to the last two that have played Chelsea. Pep knows Chelsea inside out now, as Tuchel doesn’t really alter his set up to much.

Pep saying we played well.....we lost the second half 2-0 ffs

And they had 2 chalked off

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

My fear is the psychological effect losing to Chelsea twice.

it could become a mental block.

Many posters on this forum have mental block. It's normal if City loose .

 

[Nellies left peg]

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.

Even Eddie should take a penalty before Aguero, he's been shocking for ages

 

[Inter Me Nan]

It could’ve been done today.

It's done.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Pep always talks about rhythm, but how he expects to keep it with that many change, I do not know.
I still believe with our full strength side, we will dick this Chelsea side in the CL Final.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

You know what. I'm off to have a beer or two with my Mrs and see if some of the people who are currently embarrassing themselves take a breath. Have a good evening to the rest of you left trying to explain to some absolute mardarses why Pep, the greatest club manager of a generation currently having the greatest season in City's history, made the very simple and obvious decisions today and why Aguero, our greatest striker of all time, is allowed a mistake or two in a meaningless game.

 

[Saddleworth2]

We have a serious disparity in quality from our first 11 to second string.11.

honestly i think the quality goes from champion quality to championship quality.

needs addressing..

i would Rather see academy players, than the same wasters, losing every time they play

Fucking hell. Championship quality? Really? Who would you class as Championship quality then?

 

[Fordyboy46]

The match day was even more shameful than normal, special mention to @Akpowell and @Fordyboy46 a special breed of pathetic small dick WUM wànkers.

What's wumming about saying Pep got it wrong before the match had started.

 

[Roy Munson]

Deary me...a poster calling Kun a twat..We've reached critical mass, everyone. Last one to leave, turn out the lights.

 

[phargrave]

I guess the second penalty was not given because the first ought not to behave been given

Ref should at least go the the screen to check ffs

 

[meeesh]

Rags lose tomorrow we are champions,that's how I'm looking at it for now

 

[Norbert D]

Chance to wrap up the title and put a marker down against our CL Final opponent? No let’s fuck about, make nine changes and look a set of cuuunts, yep let’s do that.
fucking livid, yes we’ve been beaten twice against Chelsea with arguably a weakened side, but, winning becomes a habit as does losing.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Newcastle game?

Yeah, but is it gonna be in our area?

 

[Packrat]

Well I'm still confident we'll win both remaining competitions. Bastard of a time to play Chelsea with the final coming up, I'm sure we'll turn up when it's needed.
