Everton v City post match

[MCFC_4Heatons]

ottamendi is the problem

He's rash but the back four just dont play as a unit and not much protection in front of them without Fernado or Fernandinho.

We'll win th CL this year.

Monaco score goals for fun, we can't defend but we are typical City once again.

 

[MCFC_4Heatons]

We are the masters of controlling possession in pointless areas of the pitch and the masters of being unable to control our legs in the areas that do matter

+1

 

[BenjaniMwaruwari]

Otamendi was one of our best players today. Didn't help with the lack of protection from Zaba, Yaya and Clichy

 

[MCFC_4Heatons]

Time to look for Agueros replacement, the last few games he is either not fit or has no interest. Just my opinion, I know he's been, and is a City legend but he doesn't seem to be the same player.

Been saying it for a while but hammered for it

 

[trevorriley]

Otamendi made to look bad on the first goal yet which idiot gave the ball away in midfield, fact of the matter is Ota was the only one back when the ball was in the net.

We play that far forward that we are running back again which is hopeless when four of the back players are over 30.

Ota and stones need to play with a captain like vinny. As good as they are they are not defensive leaders.

Why was it sterling and silva in the best chance up front positions, why wasn't it our best finisher aguero playing right up front instead. Sterling gets in position but only finishes one in six. We lack at finishing, maybe Jesus will show us.

Agree as someone posted world class goal scorer but not a world class player fantastic finish against Burnley but poor today and at anfield

 

[flb]

Too soft, shit keeper in Bravo and shit defender in Otamendi, could go on but still shocked !

You shocked ? Really ?

Wow! I wasn't- that was on the cards .

4-0 fuck me , that was Everton not fucking Real Madrid.

The back 4 don't play as a unit because they get changed most weeks

my god that defeat bloody hurts. That 2nd half was as weak and feeble a city display that i can care to remember if im honest, since maybe the wigan cup final match? leicester wasnt great but at least we put up a bit of a fight in the 2nd half.

we have a lot of issues dont we. all have been mentioned countless times today, lack of leadership, desire, an ageing squad, silly mistakes, too lightweight, not putting chances away, basic errors etc etc....

what i cant understand is that in patches this season we have been superb, but then we put in a half like that today?? we go from sublime to shite. why?
and why does every team score with their first decent chance? fuck me its amazing how often it happens to us!

im hoping pep will find the answer. he should get the time to get his players in and then be judged properly i feel.
we know we needed some new players and we needed to get rid of some (we've been saying it for around 2years now) so thats not entirely peps fault.

i feel we are at a crossroads over the next few transfer windows, we need to buy well and get the squad in order, otherwise we may have some more painful times ahead.
im slightly worried but not panicking yet.

anyway, wheres my cat gone, i feel the urge to kick something again.

Two things for me. First is in most of the dissapointing results we've had chances to kill teams off and not been clinical, take Chelsea for example. Leicester was Pep's fault for me, he got that very wro g.

Second point is I'm looking round the team for some leaders and struggling, even Zab looked a beaten man, Vinnie's always injured and Pep didn't fancy Joe so that leaves us woefully short of leadership on the pitch!!

Behave, so you forseen us getting spanked 4/0 after a great game in the cup with a full weeks rest lol

I'm pretty sure for about £90,000 per week they should be able to do better than they are doing currently, whether they're playing every week or not

We turn it on when it suits lady, when the shit hits the fan we are nowhere- you're falling for the odd game we turn up in- for every Barca at home there's a Leicester round the corner.

A team of mard arses.

Well win on away goals after a 7-7 aggregate score.

I think you have misread what I mean, we are shit but changing doesn't help, I watch non league lads on £15 a game (my lad being one) who show more passion and desire than some of these ****s we have at our club !

Totally agree bee- it's the reason why this is my last season as a ST holder , disconnected call it what you like and to be fair it's why I'm ranting on here a lot these days- I've fallen out of love with the game, it's all about the money now- when City have 4/5 homegrowns in the team then it will reignite.

No passion anymore lady.

 

[Keeper!]

We are Arsenal mark II, play pretty football, look outstanding when teams allow us to play, but we have the heart of a mouse. We go missing in action, as soon as the going gets tough. We try and walk the ball into the net.

We have NO leadership on or off the pitch. We have become a soulless, corporate whore.

khaldoon al Mubarak get over to Manchester and sort this out, and quickly.

 

[Wiirdo]

Totally agree with people talking about a lack of leadership. We've never missed Vinnie more.

 

[Matt_S]

We can't really judge pep this season as he's working with mainly post pellegrini players,in my opinion we've got to drag ourselves through this season and start afresh and let pep bring in his own players,to be honest it might even do us good if we have no European football next season so we can rebuild properly,if we still come up short next year then we have a right to criticise him,surely he must know who needs to go.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. We need to stay the course. Give Pep time to rebuild. As little as any of us would like it, not playing in Europe next year would no doubt help our domestic cause.

Or perhaps the manager should play to his strengths (such as play through the middle), instead of asking him to play anywhere but the middle of the pitch?

Do you think Aguero would have dillie dallied like Sterling did for the penalty that should have been given?

Sterling first 3 thoughts are dilly dally & oh I'm going to get whacked because of it. Does my head in, undoubted abilities just not got the right chip set.
