My understanding is that we already have 17 foreigners in the squad. So if we bring 3 more in 3 have to be removed from the squad. Who would you axe?

You mean apart from Burnley a few weeks ago.Don't we all, seeing as we haven't won an away PL game from a losing position for 21 years
Or Watford last season?
Or am I being whooshed? - Ah must the the whoosh bit as we even won at Klanfield from a losing position in that time.

The players downed tools on him yesterday, how does he address that??, drop all 11, which you could argue could be warranted, personally think the dressing room has gone but the players need to take a good look at themselves because that yesterday was embarrassing
That was the most concerning thing for me yesterday. I remember years back when the filth were winning everything. I would stumble on an odd game of theirs in the pub and on a rare occasion the opposition would score maybe one, sometimes two. You just knew from then on it would be like the Alamo and they would absolutely batter teams for the last 20/30/40 mins or whatever it happened to be. What did we do after going 2-0 down? Almost gave up. Did De Bruyne touch the ball in the second half? Other than the shot from Aguero that was going wide when the keeper saved it and a Toure feee kick that I could have saved, what did we create?....nothing and that is a major concern. At least at Leicester we kept going. It was a terrible second half yesterday from the team and the manager who I don't want to see sat looking glum on the bench. His substitutions were awful and I could see little tactical change going on.
It was a very poor day.
This all will come good in the end I keep reading. I'm not sure it will with the soft underbelly and hugely unbalanced squad age wise. 6 players starting who are over 30 is 3 too many to win games in this league. We need at least 5 new players, maybe even more and after spending £300m plus in recent seasons that should not be the case. Our planning has been shambolic.
We got lucky finishing 4th last season and this looks like being more of the same where we may do the same but I would say it's 50/50 on us missing out.

A free kick in some places is almost a pen for Yaya. Why does he hardly take any now ?
Because we have a new tactic now which is to try and change the angle slightly for silva to float a cross to the first man. Admittedly it's not been very successful so far.

Totally agree, going back to Utd, even at 3 down, you knew that they would just keep going and get at least something, this lot just "quit" yesterday, the manager looks broken, the team is average at best, complete overhaul is required which is going to take maybe 2/3 Windows, will pep be around for them, I'm not to sureThat was the most concerning thing for me yesterday.

Bring joe back, bravo is absolutely hopeless. And buy some defenders that can defend before the window closes or we're not finishing in the top 6 nevermind top 4.
If we're going to miss out on top 4 (and i've not given up on it yet) i'd hope we do miss out on top 6, stay out of the bloody europa league and concentrate of the prem.

Our 'big' players are actually not big players at all. Just pretenders that go hiding when they're not afforded 10 metres of space.

city need to make some big decisions now! Decisions that for some reason have been avoided for well over 18 months!
I want to see a young vibrant city team with pace, flair, bags of talent and plenty off passion and commitment! They don't have to be the best straight away but we can't keep serving up the same stale shite from the same stale 30+ yr olds we've been relying on for far too long!

Nearly every game we have lost we should have buried but missed a catalogue of chances and then went missing defensively, another awful display. If we play like that against Spurs we will take a bigger beating than we did on Sunday.. Its a news blackout for me now, too painful to listen to the usual suspects slagging us off. Top 4 will be a challenge now, the league has gone for sure, I just hope City knuckle down now and start playing to the best of their ability.
