Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[WestGorton]

Yes I know but it's wrong. It has to be. I was there and I've been going for 40 years and I know what a crowd is. I couldn't see EL3 from my seat but I could see the rest of the ground and the only significant empty seats were in the away end and that's 3k, and in the top tier of CB3 which looked 3/4 full. 48k would be my estimate.

This all day. I just don't get the reported figure.

 

[Tb1981]

Clueless. Did you even go? It was a good crowd for a midweek group game. A lot more than people who actually went expected. I'd say easily above 45K there.

Yes
My point is generally and not just about last night
He just wants us to support the team
People who give a shit about a few rags giving them grief should think about the Times we have given it back to them based on the success and style of the team we have compared to the shit they are watching each week

 

[Inter Me Nan]

The point i'm trying to make poorly is that it does not bother me what they say. It's the fact that our own manager is giving ammo to opposition fans to have a dig at us as a fanbase customer database.

That's fair enough but have you considered what Pep said has been lost in translation?
I'm pretty sure he's meant something else than what's come out of his mouth.
Spose we'll find out tomorrow when he gets grilled

 

[Tb1981]

He has the best chance of winning with the worlds most expensive squad. Maybe he should have played our top goalscorer in the position he became top goalscorer in instead of fucking about with the team once again.

Fuck him off then
If that’s your attitude anyone can do it
I’d Rather have the best manager in the world than a cheerleader
Look across the road if you want a manager who does that and see where it gets him

Spot on mate, no way he was slagging off the fans. Just trying to gee them up with a difficult month coming up.

What’s all this ‘Pep doesn’t get us’ bollocks ??? It’s laughable.

I’m sure Pep and the players ‘don’t get’ why the Etihad is like a morgue every week with 3 stands in complete silence, empty seats all over the shop, and 20,000 decide the leave on 80 minutes.

We are targeted by other fans because we give them ammunition almost every game. Find it amusing reading 1001 excuses why people don’t turn up when the obvious answer is loads can’t be arsed.

I’m still gobsmacked by some thinking the atmosphere was good last night. It was shite.

Let’s not fanny around here, we have somehow become the worst atmosphere in the Premier League and people seem to want Pep to keep quiet about it.

That's how I saw it but I can also appreciate how people got riled by it.
Although he does speak decent English some of the stuff he say's sometimes I struggle to get my head round!

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

But why be frustrated, this is what I mean, I don't get it?

If you went last night to support the team then that's great, if you didn't go for whatever reason that's also alright. Pep's call to arms was basically saying "if" you can make it to support the team that'll be great, nothing more or nothing less

Put it this way, Due to all the shite thrown at the club in recent years.

I've removed myself off twitter, facebook groups etc.

The only thing he's guilty of is not having the self awareness to know its a criticism that's been unfairly labelled at us for a few years now and bringing it up has caused unnecessary friction amongst the fanbase.
