Whilst I agree many of these players are aging and the overall performances are slow sluggish. Teams have caught us that simple term we don’t change or can’t change and adapt

Oddschecker has us 4-1 on to get a playoff place. Sounds about right.
But still 13/5 favourite to get to the final.
Do they know something we don’t. Is that the Tony Barton effect?

what was worse this 3 goal capitulation or the Brian McClair two goals in the last 10 in 1990 to ruin the derby winI'm still in shock :( what a fucking catastrophic collapse.
Fuck sake City sort yourselves out.
It is still a start. Same for the previous home game where we didn't take our chances in the opening period.Against a side of mid championship calibre tbf

Nunes was City's best player again! Not just my opinion see the MoM threadEderson Nunes Gvardiol Gundo and Pep....Shite
Gundo was much better in the deeper role than of late
Add to your list Bernardo who has been getting worse each game
For years it was "city won't stop trying to score". It is not that way and hasn't been for 18 months.
I thought we were ok yesterday until the ridiculousness of the last 15 minutes. We actually played some through balls, not nearly as many as we should, but more than most games this season. Gundogan was the primary passer and he was better than he has been all season, but still way too slow.
We just stopped trying to score once we made the subs. I think for a team that has conceded 2 goals in every game this season (or at least it seems that way) to bring on a kid and plop him at centre back just seemed foolish and/or naive.
Pressure forces mistakes, and we invited pressure on once we stopped trying to score.
For all the pile on Gvardiol, who looked fine until Ake went off, Ederson was at fault for all 3 goals in someway or another. The lack of communication with Akanji for the first one, letting the ball between leg and post on the 2nd one, and then the 3rd one oh lord.
You have to laugh sometimes or you will cry/smash something (depending on who you are).

You are that shocked that you missed Feyenoord making it 4-3 in the 94th minute...I'm still in shock :( what a fucking catastrophic collapse.

100% this ^The fact that the team as a whole have come to the end of it's cycle and that the new signings, as young and inexperienced as they are, aren't going to stamp their mark in a team that's had a huge drop off.
Any young player coming into this present side is going to struggle, we have lost the ability to control games and it makes the less experienced guys look far worse than they are.

The subs were made on 69th minute The issue for me was making 3 at the same time Pep will rarely do so and imho it was a huge mistake as following recent form the team collective were getting their mojo back the decision wreck the momentum and upset the balance Pep is usually reluctant to make subs as he doesn't like to do exactly what he did last nightNunes and Gundogan were possibly two of our best players last night.
Pep made substitutions at 3-0 up with 15 minutes to go at home to Feyenoord something which we should be seen the game out regardless of who's on the pitch.
The same people would have been pissing and moaning if a player got injured at 3-0 they'd then be saying "Why didn't Pep substitute him ffs".
But at least Brentford and Fulham had shown some form before they played us at the Etihad.
Southampton came to us after getting 1 (one) point in 8 games and we struggled to beat them by a single goal that was scored after just 5 minutes. For the other hour and a half of that match we were pathetic.
I said it at the time that we were going to lose more than we won on that showing, even I am shocked at how bad we have actually become.
There's no doubt injuries have disrupted us but it's showing the lack of mentality of some players who are feeling sorry for themselves and hiding behind that excuse. They should be stepping up more. I think Pep is learning some valuable lessons about certain personnel right now.
