[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Long way to go this season

 

[chris85mcfc]

You can't be a real fan thinking that ;-)

If we play like that they'll create chances and we don't look like scoring ourselves.

Not really arsed if I come across as a real fan or not.

 

[Dawsenna]

Whatever, I'll take the point. But that was fucking shocking in the end.

There are so many "first team" players giving us absolutely fuck all at the moment. Less than fuck all, to be honest. They're tired, over-played, and lacking the hunger you need to play for a Pep team.

Walker, Gundogan, Bernardo, and Gvardiol - all of them have been absolutely terrible in so many games recently. Giving the ball away constantly, making huge mistakes, and gifting it to the other team at all times.

Palace created nothing. We gifted them the first goal and then passed it straight to them for the second goal. That sort of shit is unacceptable but Pep seems to think it's fine despite it happening 10 times per game at the moment?

Meanwhile "squad players" like Ortega, Doku, Nunes, and Grealish are giving us so much more and carrying an actual bloody threat when they come on. It's time for Pep to really shake things up just before January imo.

Ortega
Akanji, Stones, Dias, Lewis
Kovacic, Grealish
Foden, De Bruyne, Doku
Haaland

Play that XI until the window opens. Let Gundogan and Walker save themselves from any more embarrassment, give Bernardo a proper rest, drop Gvardiol until he gets his fucking act together. Give the others a chance!

And if Kovacic isn't fit for the Manchester derby, what does Gundogan currently offer us that Wright or O'Reilly wouldn't give us? He gets caught dawdling at least twice per half. Pep needs to put a rocket up his arse.

When is kovacic back ? Is he even training

Some proper mardarse entitled pricks posting their absolute garbage yet again.
Stop slagging the team and individuals off and get behind them.
Absolutely pissing myself laughing at some in here.

You missed the rags , i was on my own today , lol

 

[SamBlue]

This is our reality, mid-table level performances and border-line relegation string of results. Pep is all over the place with this team and it is what it is, write off season before mid December.

 

[Gazza]

Really hits home just how poor we have been this year

No, we've just been excellent every other year.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Savinho is truly dreadful.

Walker just needs to leave at this point.

As for Pep giving Doku and Jack 10 and 5 mins respectively is a fucking joke.

 

[york away to this!]

Generally poor after playing well and grabbing some momentum midweek.
Really poor defending for both their goals.
Rico very poor first half but much better in the second. That was never a second yellow and how on earth can that not be reviewed, whereas a straight red can? Ludicrous.
We were waiting to long to change it up and go for the win and that's on pep - though I suspect his priority is now the chumps league.

Sack the board, swales out.

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Rúben Dias. Take a bow.
Rico Lewis. Great goal lousy defending. Olé olé olé.
Bernardo, except for the equaliser pass, was not good.
Savinho FC FFS.
Gvardiol..............

At first I thought another Sportink like drubbing, that back four was suicidal, save for the great wonderwall (espn argies' reference not mine) number 3.

It's good not to lose, it is no so good not win.

UTFB

 

[TinFoilHat]

Disagree.

Fair enough.

We'll see next week.

 

[Bluewonder]

That was a good point considering our team included Kyle Walker

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Considering all factors, I’ll take that.

Having to listen to Michael Owen, you’d think we’ve got our first team out there. Hasn’t got a clue and is just a talking head.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

The ref wasn't to blame today.

Yeah I’m not getting it. He isn’t to blame for us being half a yard off palaces pace or being unable to do basic things like control a football.

 

[cupsforcockups]

Win little second balls causing us big problems
Walker out
Bernado out
Gundo out
Nunez ?????
Lewis prob not but ????????
Sav young so patience needed

Lewis good goal but not sure he is a defender

 

[BolinCell]

The ref wasn't to blame today.

read my post I'm in agreement with you.

 

[GillyCTID]

Is it okay to cry? And im being serious. What has happened to my club?

 

[ShedDweller]

Can I just say this... I'm not religious but I hope Antonio has some help from above. That car looks a hell of a mess.

Always liked him as a player, he's always talked warmly about City and comes across as a great bloke.

 

[Dawsenna]

Pep should have known he’d get a second yellow for being fouled

Mate pack it in the kid never throws in a tackle at the best of time but finds it appropriate to go flying in while already on a yellow card it’s on him. He was late and give the referee the chance

There was going to be a drop off at some point , some absolute professional bellends on here , maybe we should win 6 in a row - even then some wouldn’t he happy on here, fuck knows what this place will be like when Pep leaves and an even bigger drop in form happens.

 

[WallyA]

Not sure if serious, but wasn't Liverpool in the last three.

I for some reason thought it was Feyenoord...

You are correct, I must have erased that game from my memory.
