Check the batteries in your hearing aid.

Sorry, what was that you said? I can't hear you!

It wasn't just that they had a 4 on 2, when we somehow miraculously stopped it, the players who couldn't be arsed running back also couldn't be arsed challenging for the ball in midfield

One minute I'm reading that Ake is out for a month and then suddenly he's ahead of schedule
BRILLIANT NEWS!

Then he goes off injured.

A microcosm of the whole season.

There are zero signs whatsoever that this team is capable of getting anywhere near the top 4.

Of course there are, it’s extremely likely we’ll bring a couple in plus Echeverri, plus Bobb coming back. We are 1 point off the top 5 which is probably what will qualify. None of the teams including Arsenal and Chelsea are particularly good this season and look like putting runs together that will result in high point totals.
More chance of qualifying for champions league than not.

Don’t think he was injured, he was feeling fatigue and went off as a precaution.

The Maine Road witches curse has followed us. The curse resides in the medical dept.

We need Thaksin to place some magic crystals and porcelain elephants around the medical dept!

Do you think Echeverri will go straight into the first team and play in the PL in January ??

 

[stan bowles]

I think people need to rein in their expectations for Bobb when he returns. Yes, he looked great in pre-season and scored the winner vs Newcastle last season but it's not a huge body of work to go on and he's missed 4-5 months of football, so it'll be like him starting a pre-season in January all over again. We need a spark but Bobb needs to be eased back in carefully.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Sorry. I placed you on ignore because you're a ****.

As I said, you've been itching to criticise this team for ages.

You've posted doom laden posts for years that everything will come crashing down and you've been wanting to be proven right for so very long. But they haven't come true... until now for these last 13 games.

Except it actually took about 4 or 5 games for you to turn on Pep, the team and the club.

You revel in defeat so much that I have my doubts if you're an actual City fan.

So spend time out of your day trying to be a clever **** by calling me out. I wasn't on here because I was actually at the game, I'm not a manchild who can't handle a draw, I've actually got friends and family that are more important and I really don't give a shit about anything a wanker like you says.

It sums you up that you, and those like you, seem to have been very quiet when we win things but now during this bad run you're having the most fun on here.

I agree with you and - though it's not the thread for it - it should also be said that, when Rodri comes back, there's a reasonable chance that he'll struggle with his fitness and/form at least in the first few months. We may never see the same Rodri we had for the last 3 seasons. That's why, imho, we should go all out to sign the very best replacement that we can; a Rodri clone, and not a Kova type understudy. Then, over the next 6 months, get 4/5 other world-beaters on top to replace our fast-fading stars.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Well pep must have watched a completely different game to me, if he thinks we played "really good", then we are in bigger shit than we thought, there is just nothing there anymore, we don't look like scoring, we don't create many chances, no little 1-2s, no give and go's, thought Everton were very comfortable yesterday

Same old meaningless platitudes after every game, it's getting borderline insulting now.

Have Bernardo and Gundogan come out yet and said they "must do better" and "try harder"?

Anyone heard from our club "captain" recently or is he still hiding under a desk in the dressing room?

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I'm getting a bit worried...

@argyle doesn't appear to have been on to assure everyone that there's no need for concern yet.

Can someone ring his nurse?

He's having his stomach pumped mate, he's been sinking 20 pints of this every match and over done it.

 

[Roachy]

Not the best of games but we didn't play bad at times. Needless to say we really do look average though in comparison to the past few seasons. I see returning players improving us but I don't envisage a major upturn in form or performance levels any time soon.

 

[blueparrot]

Do you think Echeverri will go straight into the first team and play in the PL in January ??

No but I think he might get registered in the squad.

So how is he going to help if he’s not playing ??

You do understand how a squad works ?
