A lot on here seem to think Kev is going to come back and then we'll go on some huge run to win the league again...its just utter nonsense, even if we did the league could be gone before he kicks a ball with Everton and Newcastle away in our next 3 league games. We're already at the stage of not being able to afford to drop another point.

Yep, a few really need to manage their own expectations of Kev's return.A lot on here seem to think Kev is going to come back and then we'll go on some huge run to win the league again...its just utter nonsense, even if we did the league could be gone before he kicks a ball with Everton and Newcastle away in our next 3 league games.

I'll be happy with him getting through the rest of the season without another injury and building up his fitness so we can hope for 2 more good full years out of him. Mind you, Kev at 60% drastically improves this side at the moment.

First time I've heard any boos for the team yesterday for a long time. I understand why some chose to vent their feelings that way. But the familiar rush in large numbers for the exits with 15 minutes of time to play is something that has been a City trait for years and years and will never disappear.
The boos were for the ref surely?

I think those doing it now are the kids of those who used to do it at Maine Road.
Maybe the club could use their massive resources to make getting away from the ground less of a nightmare. Its easy to slag early leavers but if you listen to some of them those 15 minutes make almost a 2 hour difference in what time they get home. Its not like people pay big money for a season ticket then choose to miss 15% of the football because they lose attention after 75 minutes is it?

I didnt boo but if I did boo it would be aim at palace for their anti football rip of the fans from seeing a game of football.
For this season alone Kev is still a valuable player. Still a player who brings something different to the team and can and will take off some of the pressure on our current attacking players. Dare I say it but it will be like a new signing even if we have to ease him back into contention. Other than the apparent Barco signing I don't see us going into the January transfer market.Yep, a few really need to manage their own expectations of Kev's return.

I have only left early average once per season when I've really had to but because they close the roads on full time 5 mins won't do it, has to be 10 -15 mins otherwise your snookered especially for an foc.Maybe the club could use their massive resources to make getting away from the ground less of a nightmare.

The home fans should get priority and away fans kept in if necessary not priority bussed away whilst everyone waits.Not fair, surprised there aren't more complaints.

Same with Palmer and MarhezHow many fuckin times does it have to be said????
Gundogan's missus did NOT like living in Manchester.
SHE wanted to move to Spain
HE wanted to make his wife happy.
THEY decided to move to Spain.
Why the fuck do people go on about 'letting Gundogan go'??
He fucking wanted to go!!!
We won't keep a player that doesn't want to be here.

I think there's a contradiction in what you say. We've defended magnificently from the front for years and years and tended to snuff-out the park the bus and hope for something on the break teams. You say 'We can't defend........... it's been going on for weeks now'. What's happening is the 'weeks' you describe where we've dropped below our monstrously high standards. Although a week is a long time in politics, our recent defensive lapse is the width of a page in a very thick book. It's perfectly normal and natural and has happened to each and every legendary team in the history of football. To me, it would be seriously weird if these temporary lapses didn't happen. We play risk and reward footy in the pursuit of glory - it's in our DNA - we pass the ball to players being marked and on the edge of our box we pass the ball inches from opposing players - 99.9 per cent of the time. Under Pep we will never be a play it safe team. If you want a play it safe, park the bus and hope for something on the break coach, you hire Maureen, Poch or Simeone. If you want a bit of both, you hire Klopp. If you want to see beautiful football and trophies that none of us ever dared dream about, you bring in Pep. Make no mistake, Pep is the greatest coach in the history of football anywhere on the planet.what did Pep have to say ?
We drew because we can't defend. It seem every time a team has an attack it highly likely they will score or create a very dangerous opportunity. It's about time our coaches sorted this out its been going on for weeks now.
