Really, one of the world’s best manager’s? Our most successful manager who has taken us on a most incredible ride during the past few years? Perhaps it’s those who haven’t been around v the likes of Grimsby on a cold Monday night?

This period has the vibes of the 5-2 home defeat to Leicester. Ferny rallied the troops together in a meeting and we turned a corner.
We need something similar in my opinion senior figures need to step up and rally the troops.
The funny thing is with City, It takes something like this or Premier League charges to give us a kick up the backside to get going!
We will turn this around, A win on Saturday and it will be another case of "Manchester City are still alive here...".

Absolutely the worst it's been under Pep. Until we get to this level, I'm not panicking.
After that 2-0 game at Spurs, I genuinely thought we'd be better off if Pep left and we installed some new blood and fresh ideas. He was in the last year of his contract, we'd finished miles off Liverpool the previous season, we couldn't score goals or create chances, we got hammered by Leicester at home and then Spurs picked us off in the most predictable game possible. It all looked to be coming to a sad end. And then we did this.
We might need to wait until the Brighton game's out of the way first, but Pep has solved problems and changed this team's system more times than Soft Mick. He will solve the problem again. It'll start when we actually get some fucking players back. Rodri and Bobb being out for most of, if not all of, the season was bad enough but to lose Walker, Dias, Stones, Savinho, Doku, Grealish, and De Bruyne at the same time is ludicrous. Throw in the fact that Akanji's playing with a muscle strain and we're having to throw that Simpson-Pusey lad into defence and this shite run makes total sense.
It might get worse before it gets better but it will get better.

3 Three defeats in a week
This situation had to come at some point. It's such a strange feeling for us City fans after barely losing for so many years. Defensively we are clearly struggling and this has been magnified with so many injuries. But one thing which is also worrying me relates to the lack of physicality and age of our midfield players. Kovacic, Bernardo and Gundogan unfortunately cannot compete speedwise and, sadly, KDB is getting on now. I think this area of the team needs to be closely looked at in the coming months.
Our rivals are loving it and can't quite believe that the mighty City are finally losing games...we don't give a damn about them. We have a challenge on now to turn things around...so come on blues and get behind the team more and more in the coming weeks. This is exactly the time when fans have to show what they're really made of.

It’s awful. I didn’t sign up for this in 2008. Back to supporting Chelsea for me.

Half time I couldn’t see anything but a comfortable win, whatever he said at half time needs bottling and burying in a 10ft deep crypt
