City v Saints post match

I think it just shows our defence still needs some work doing to it! I've been screaming (not literally) for new LB for 4 seasons and we've not really replaced Zaba even though Sagna did have 1 good season!

We can't keep giving cheap goals away, it happens far too often, but I'm more than convinced it'll get sorted, and obviously start of the season we had high hopes....

I've rarely seen us play poor this season, even against Barca it was a level playing field up until the sending off, and Barca were just so much better than us in front of goal which has been another problem of ours at time!

Not good enough. Simply not good enough.

Poor from the players, who to be fair to them look confused, leaderless and utterly knackered.

Poor from the manager. Very very poor. I thought we'd seen the last of extreme stubbornness from the dug out. I thought we'd seen the end of last minute subs 25 minutes too late.

With the way the fixtures have fallen we should be seven points clear by now. Not top on goal difference.

Spurs don't have half the quality we have. United neither. Nor Arsenal. Chelsea have a lesser squad and a lesser manager. Apparently. Only Liverpool should be able to live with us but given their early fixtures we should be 7 points clear of them to give us a needed cushion for when we inevitably get tactically thrashed by Klopp.

The teamwork looks like it's disappeared altogether. Players look confused and disorientated like they don't know what they are supposed to be doing.

It's all very well and good being great in press conferences but frankly that doesn't win you titles. Manuel was boring in them but won a double in his first year. Mancini was combative in them but under him we beat teams before the first whistle as they knew we likely wouldn't concede and were capable of breaking at pace at will.

I'm still waiting for the manager we waited four years for. The manager we undermined and cuckolded two managers for.

I don't agree with the "this year is one for learning and consolidation" line of thought either. The players, the club hierarchy, and the manager and the entire football world have known Pep was coming here since 2012. We have shaped the entire ethos of the club from top to bottom with Pep in mind. We will NEVER have a better chance to win the league than we have this year. I still think we will but to say I'm underwhelmed is an understatement.

And that's before we even begin to talk about the serious and worrying regression in europe.

Get a grip. our go support another club until City are at the level you will support them.

It is WIP, and the aim this year will be to setup for next year and the year after. we might win the prem, but don't be fucked off if we don't.

3 games in a group of 6 games is silly to compare. So after half of the games have gone it's not right to compare?

Its obviously not, you have different oppositions. We played two away games compared to one last season I think. You can't compare two seasons unless you have enough matches to average out mate. I could just say that about the Rags game then. We won this season, lost last season. Hence this season is better. Sounds stupid?
