Have people on here gone mad? We played well, created lots of chances and just missed them. We weren’t shit as people are suggesting. I despair of this fan base sometimes.

I mean what do you expect from folks who show up here only when we draw or loose. You know who their true allegience is towards.

All on pep

Nothing but stubbornness

Maybe he will show it to the players, that ur in my XI and as you didn't get the result needed, u won't be playing the next game. May see it applied to foden / Bernardo / Rodri

correct .

 

[madloaf]

Not that fussed about pep not making a change, we were getting through them. More annoyed at the poor finishing or decision making in the final third.

Really??

 

[chaddblue]

Fucking fuming. So frustrating. So many poor performances from our attacking players.. Grealish, Foden and Bernardo

I know it’s the taboo subject but a striker on the pitch and we win that 4-0 tonight and it may well also cost us the title

 

[Heath Park]

Well still win the league

Yup I agree.
Still I don't understand Pep's reluctance to use the subs bench. The players looked knackered at the end...

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

3 points from 18 available against Spurs, Southampton and Palace is a little worrying, though.

Agreed but we dominated 4 of those games

Point gained

1. I hate playing Palace

2. Pep, stop being so stubborn

 

[BlueRockape]

amen. I am so fucking ready for a striker

Striker ....if we had one we would have pissed this already

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

My poxy kingdom for a fuckin striker. Pathetic waste of chances. Played well but kept giving the ball away at the most inopportune moments and couldn't tap the ball in the net. Waited all weekend for that.

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

I've never seen Foden so anonymous in a game

 

[DMA's]

Ultimately not signing a striker will decide the title race. Aguero won us the game their last season with a bit of magic, we don’t have that anymore. Madness to let him go with no replacement

 

[Semper aggressus]

Bernardo. If only he could pass the ball at the 7 metre wide net thing as accurately as he can to a player’s feet.

We’ll fuck these about 3-0 next season with Haaland up front.

 

[samuelyeboah]

Balotelli

Least he had the brains to not pick fights with nedum vs QPR 94th minute...

 

[jimharri]

Too many people pre-match saying we would walk it, Palace have now taken 5 points off us this season.

The critical game is Scousers at home, a genuine 6 pointer.

4 points. Deprived us of 5.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

"Sterling and Jesus aren't good enough for City"

"FFS Pep why didn't you bring on Sterling and Jesus to win us the game?"

Pick one, you can't say both.

 

[M Gaudino]

Bernardo is fantastic in midfield.

Not as a supplementary left winger the whole game

 

[Millo]

Games like this show why we desperately need a striker! Can't believe he didn't even bring a sub on?

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

We can buy Haaland and buy Kane as well but that’s not the only issue. The biggest issue we have is that we have no pace in the side. Never replaced Leroy. We have no pace to get at sides in midfield or on the wings. Until we get real pace into this side we will struggle to breakdown teams.

We had some on the bench tonight
