No. Because when I wipe the tears from my misty eyes of the sick swan and the first cups and title I remember a lot of sideways passing, dull draws, frustrating slow play,and threads like this.Genuine question.
Would you get rid of Pep tonight if Mancini would come in tomorrow?
Shut the f up.This thread is toxic—several posters are charging into realms that could be labelled as marginally racist and/or xenophobic.
We lost... badly... but some on here seem to be channeling their inner most facist selves.
Most of them want Pep out as well, Ho humThis thread has devolved in to users with less than 50 posts discussing how much the other is right about our club being a joke.
If they are City supporters, absolutely. I suppose I'm not convinced all are and many of their posts are contributing to the toxicity of the thread.they're as entitled to post as anyone else....
That's exactly what it is, and quite honestly I don't see it changing significantly any time soon. In fact, I'm far from convinced it'll have changed significantly in 12 months time even after a major transfer window, because our style of play is too easy for teams in this particular league to overcome. If you're a shambles like West Ham or you want to come out and try and give us a game like Arsenal, then sure, like as not we'll tear you a new one, but if you want to sit deep, keep your discipline, and then counterattack with power and pace then you'll turn us over again and again.
Put simply you cannot defend in this wide open fashion in English football, no matter who your defenders are, because virtually every team has got a lummox to relieve the pressure (Lukaku, King, Wickham, Giroud, Vokes, Slimani, Costa, Kane, Rondon, Carroll, Llorente, the list goes on and on) and midfielders with the pace and determination to get downfield and take advantage. Chuck in a keeper, who looks genuinely incapable of saving anything, and you've got a recipe for fuck all. If Pep thinks we were unlucky in any way today he's living in a fantasy world. We got precisely what we deserved (not for the first time) for a fatally flawed game plan, and we were undone again by opposition who didn't even have to be good to beat us, just organised and committed.
Case in point.Shut the f up.
Fucking shambles again. Played OK first half, but once again we're behind at half time not because the other team were better, but because we have gifted them a goal, with a poor pass, and lack of interest in defending from our forward players. The second half was a disgraceful performance from most.
I'd say only Sterling could hold his head up high today, though Silva and Yaya kept trying, Sagna mostly did OK, the rest shouldn't be paid for today.
Without wanting to make any excuses, once again we should have been in front but for a refereeing decision, and once again we watch a team continually foul and not get carded, whilst Silva makes one foul, and he can't get the card out quick enough.
To be hammered by that Everton side is a shambles, but they had the desire to win, especially Davies who looked a good prospect (but probably should have had at least 2 yellows), and we had no desire at all.
There's a number of players who play like today whenever it gets tough, and its time they either turned up or f*cked off !
