Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Bluefen]

Not mad, angry or any of that stuff. Just realistic. We will lose at Juve and PSG. Pray 11 points gets us in the top 24.
In the league we are in a dogfight for a top 4 spot, really a 4th spot, as we will finish behind Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. If we don't finish in a CL spot our recruitment will be fucked. This fuck of a season has the potential to basically destroy our position as an elite club not just now but going forward. Again not being negative, simply objective about the reality of our situation.
If we don't make the top 4 we become much less important to the PL and the cartel might even have the juice to entice the hearing panel to fuck us right off.
Txiki AND PEP played with fire relying on such a small squad to stay healthy knowing many of our key players are older and in decline and that our depth players are not up to standard. This knowing Pep is not the guy to be driving a truck if need be. He's proven numerous times over he can roll with a Ferrari but doing more with less is just not his forte. He can't get this side to grind out anything. Pep is built for a squad with elite talent all over the pitch. He has no chance of getting anything out of this shell of a squad that he and Txiki chose to go with. These guys aren't going to overcome his idiosyncrasies or go on any long unbeaten runs that we seem to need every year. One needs a squad of elite players to do that.
It is what it is boys and girls. Why the club chose this path or allowed Pep and Txiki to do so God only knows,
But my Lord did we rock for 7 years under the bald fraud!!!!

What a rant of utter drivel…

The third as well in my opinion

And 1st

twenty three pages in and I give up, same shite said over and over and over again -not that that shite is entirely wrong- though, but it is tiresome.

Pep out, Taylor in..... and as the usual chant by argentinian's clubs fans when their players dissapointed them with shambolic displays

¡Que se vayan todos! = Everybody out.

the price we pay for not finishing top8 on this new CL table will be bad. extra two games vs maybe a decent team in February. do we want that given our fixture is like this around that time:
Arsenal-City
City-Newcastle
City-dippers
Spurs-City
Forest-City

last thing we need are two legged games vs any decent European side put into this set of fixtures while Arse and dippers are relaxing. could even be PSG as they are about to finish on the shit end of the table something like 21-22-23-24th place meaning someone from 9-10-11-12th will get them.
also we probably get one injury on each of these extra ties.

Hopefully we finish 25th and just concentrate on the PL 4th spot for the rest of the season and just start a rebuild again next Summer.

I think we are that shit, we need to play as few football games as possible this season.

Pep did say before if the players are not trying/listening to him he will leave. Fucking hope not

If that really was the case he would of stepped down in the Summer. The caveat is if things are the same this time next season then yep he will step down.

Imo
I don't can't see us winning anything this season
There is something very wrong be it the court case or other things around the club
Before any of you start sending me abuse or whatever
Have a think
I've seen City since 1970
All the way through to today, but I really feel there are problems that are now apparent

 

[levets]

Who is going to play at LB if Pep drops Gvardiol? Ake who can't finish a game or Lewis?

Lewis v Salah? No thanks

 

[gh_mcfc]

Feck all we can do about it - can’t control it so why worry. Just enjoy it again when it comes good. Football isn’t an exact science. A few bad signings despite all the due diligence, injuries, carrying a small quality squad, and coming off the back of 4 gruelling years physically and mentally. Thats football my friends.

 

[chaddblue]

Tonight was the first time I’m not sure you could apportion any blame on our utter shiteness to Rodri not being there

 

[MMA]

Of course not but theres no denying that to date it hasn`t done us any harm.

And theres the problem..
Resting on Laurel's...

Teams all over Europe have caught up to big bad city..

If we don't have our absolute best 11 on the pitch and all on form we're fucked as far as I'm concerned.

People need to wake up that teams have been being coached to combat us for years and now they have caught up..

I noticed from the first kick off they kicked the ball long to our left back area.. tells you all you need to know how teams are beating us.
