City v Bournemouth post match

[avoidconfusion]

Fantastic 3 points. We still have a long way to go but 3 points is 3 points. We do need to learn to put games like this to bed though.
What an utter twat Mike Dean is though... tosser!

Witness the hostility from Irish fans of other sides!

Whilst the result is bad, I'm happy with the team - with Bernardo's integration it turns into a different, much more dangerous beast, which was expected.
If we aren't planning to bring in some reinforcements, the problems that Pep will have to deal with this season are clear:
- refereeing...no comment
- players in pivot and CB positions simply lack quality, in terms of passing, playing from the back and press-resistance first and foremost.
- we don't have a really decisive star striker, Jesus isn't there yet, Aguero in decline.
- Sterling poor again, his decision-making was terrible today.
- Danilo the same, slightly above average player he was at Madrid. Good squad option, nothing more.
- Mendy with a very good debut, we've got one of the world's best LBs in the making. Phenomenal crosser! But his defending needs some coaching (which isn't a revelation).

Edit: wrote it thinking the game ended 1-1 )))) my stream has gone just before the whistle.

We weren't poor at all.

We weren't but we have some big flaws which will have to be addressed if we are to win the title.

Final ball, more goal threat from midfield players & an end to Kamikaze defending particularly down the centre.

Yes another shocking ref game but should have enough to win these games. Can't help but feel we missed a trick only trying one system pre-season.

But sooooo relieved :)

Deja vu all over again!
What a bloody awful performance.
Pep is Fraudiola
- No game plan except for keeping possession.
- Poor substitutions (as usual)
As for the team
- Poor finishing (as always)
- Not enough pace or running at the opposition defence.
- Fern had a shocker.
- So did Sterling - absolutely woeful except for his very last touch.

Nice to see the refs continue to apply different rules to City than to other teams. Mike Dean was a complete and utter disgrace today. Sterling was sent off for staying on the pitch! It was the crowd who came slightly on to the pitch to envelop him!

Fraudiola?

Really....from a blue you come out with that?

On a positive note if the red stands we won't have to listen to the candle-lighters boo his every touch.

Cant see it being overturned as he did go off the pitch to the crowd

 

[Gray]

1. Performance - Well below sub-par
2. Referee - Absolute shite but will get away with the two yellows for Sterling as second was for over celebrating.
3. Manager - Sorry fellow Blues I am not convinced.
4. Fans - You deserve better for making the effort to trek down to the south coast.
5. Premier League - Not a cat in hells chance on that disjointed display.

Thanks for noticing.

Hands up if you are impressed with Ederson? Mine is up high.Two crucial saves, a few good catches under pressure.

Was excellent and that catch where he must have come 6/7 yards very good indeed. Seems to have good concentration.
