We are running out if stream at that time because we have players who are still injured or just recovered from injury, playing. The bench had only KDB and Gundo with any experience and KDB was getting over the flu virus.We had a decent start today, but the reality is any team that runs out of gas every game on 60 mins like we do doesn’t have a chance of winning games.
Sides better than Everton would have scored 2 or 3 goals against us in the shambolic last 15 mins where every City attack shortly reverted to a 4 on 2 Everton attack.
You don’t understand what the thread is suggesting ?You do understand how a squad works ?
Yes, the page is turning on some stellar careers and we'll rebuild. But we have the first proper run of bad form for over eight years and the blue moaners are out in force. We have some twitchy bottler fans - each blue moaner claims to have the answers. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, but the blue moaners going into meltdown don't have the answers - JUST MY OPINION - before the blue moaners come back at me. One bad run of form with a fully fit squad in eight years is incredible - let alone our squad and the injuries. No finishing positions decided in December. JUST MY OPINION - fans need to get behind our team after what they've given us for over eight years and stop the blue moaning.
He should have done.Has anyone explained why the player that gave away the penalty didn't receive a second yellow ?
We might as well go the whole hog by replacing Pep with Tony "Club Shop" Pulis.I don't get why when City get the possibility of a counter attack we don't just hit it long for Haaland. Than we aren't committing to many players forward to be counter attack ourselves. Plus we play to Haaland strength. Plus it gets the crowd going
People have a right to be concerned this is the worst run since Agent Hughes got the chop after a string of draws. Yes credit is well earned and banked but this rut has an end of the line feel about it. If the poor results continue expect the boos to grow in January.He should have done.
It’s almost like Pep has won shedloads of trophies with that possession style and thinks it might not be worth risking.It's because the 'greatest coach in the world' is obsessed with retaining possession.
Pep is risk averse. He always has been. That's why we're stuck on a 'rinse and repeat' cycle.
Playing on the counter probably isn't even in Pep’s vocabulary.
Most games have had one goal in them.1 game, most of the rest were winnable.
Your important fact makes it look worse actually!
It shows that teams, poor teams don't have to do very much at the moment to get a result.
I thought Villa were poor but could have scored 4
Everton were terrible but could have had 3
Spuds who are terrible overall scored 4 ffs.
The list goes on. We are piss easy to score against and can't score enough.
Our goal yesterday was a lucky deflection but then Pickford wasn't tested. Our wide men had plenty of opportunities to get a ball in but didn't do it enough.
Fuck knows what the answer is but that yesterday has done nothing to improve confidence in the team.
Exactly. The last thing a knackered team wants to be doing is chasing teams all over the park any more than they need to.It’s almost like Pep has won shedloads of trophies with that possession style and thinks it might not be worth risking.
It's like they are watching different games to us and the watching football world. Baffling!!As youd expect but the most boring thing at the mo sre the gatekeepers who are deciding who are massive blues and who arent and call other blues “rag” and “plastic” if they dare to have a moan
