Still got zero pointsOne occasion was the Derby in 2022. 6-1 up and he makes wholesale changes and then the rags manage to rampage through our midfield and gain back some respectability.

MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.
If my mantra upsets you I apologise but you do have the option to do something about it. *cheeky grin* The option is to stay positive. We’ll bounce back. It might take a little while but we will. :-):-)

4-0 to 4-3 before Laporte scored to everyone's relief. Only Arsenal had lost a 4-0 HT lead away to NU.You're right but what was that game a few years ago - Leicester at home? Pep made the garbage time subs (Philips, Gomez, Palmer) in the second half and ut felt like we were just hanging on.
It was similar actors to Brighton away at the end, Lewis and Gvardiol aren't what you call out and out defenders, and JSP isn't ready.
Last night felt like a defeat, but it wasn’t. Just five on the bounce mate ;-)We've all being spoilt by success, pal. We have peaked and are now sliding from the summit at an alarming rate. But much of it has been caused by having too many players out injured and players out of form. I also think fatigue is the result of several seasons of playing too many games domestically and international games, plus summer friendlies abroad have meant players have not had a proper summer break to rest and recuperate. Also age has caught up with Gundogan, Walker, Debruye and too a lesser extent Bernardo.
I agree about getting in a specialist defensive coach but our main problem in defence is it's a different backline every game due mostly to injuries. And when we have a fully fit squad we still have to rotate CB positions as we have the greatest depth in that position
Our squad is too small for the amount of games we're playing and hopefully Pep now realises and rectifies it by signing more players to boost the squad size which will help with players getting rested and rotated.
I think we blues have to realise and accept that we're nowhere near to being at our best, but accepting 6 defeats on the bounce has been unpleasant viewing to say the least . Our confidence and morale is as low or lower than when Pep first joined us.
I'm not looking forward to Sunday because I fear we could get a proper thrashing, and we're probably going to suffer getting beaten regularly until we can get players back from injury and back on form. And 2 or 3 quality January signings will certainly help in the second half of the season.
Wouldn't bother me if we get knocked out of Europe early because we can concentrate on getting top 4 in the league. Anything else is a bonus but we may not win anything this season which won't too disappointing considering where we're at now.

Times were very different mate.Things were a lot different then. We'd go out 'n play for the day, come home for dinner 'n then out again. My Dad used to take us out on a Sunday which invariably meant getting a but from Piccadilly to the outer edges of Manchester so I knew all the bus routes. In the ground, programme and four penny bus rides.
Aged 13 in 1972, I was allowed to go from Sholver (Oldham)… Bus to Train station, Train to Victoria, then bus from Aytoun St to ground. I wouldn’t think I’d be allowed today.

Bloody Lukaku not too long back!what was worse this 3 goal capitulation or the Brian McClair two goals in the last 10 in 1990 to ruin the derby win
Are you winding me up? The first 5 we lost, the last game we drew. That’s 5 defeats on the run, not 6 :-). This is what you said…Sorry mate, it's 6.
