Can’t understand the love for Grealish tonight. He did fuck all, never made a positive move bar his deflected shot and looks out of shape.
If anything, he should have been subbed as he was bolloxed.
It was a reminder that when him and Bernie play play wide they create nothing.
Bernado spent the whole 1st half stunting attacks by totally refusing to put the ball in with any urgency.

Absolutely spot on. He was fucking shite as per usual.
 
I'm still stunned by that. At the moment every single mistake leads to a goal and that for me is the problem. We are not clinical with mistakes offered to us, whereas opposing sides are.

Give over.

Pep is going no where. There will be fresh faces in January and especially in the summer.

We can't win every year.
 
I don't know why posters are getting out their prams, it isn't exactly a shock is it?
We are what we are at the minute and that is woeful. This team has run it's course, it isn't rocket science. They've give us the treble and four in a row and after years of running themselves into the ground for us we need to give them some slack.

There was always going to be a tail off and a dip, it's happening, it's real, we just have to suck it up and crack on, no use pointing the finger or putting the blame on individuals, as a team they've all had that drop off


Get used to the fact we aren't winning anything this season, that isn't being defeatist, that is being honest with the situation.

Top 4, maybe an fa cup run and it's a decent season. Forget champions league this season, we are nowhere near good enough.

We all need to accept what is going on, simple really.

If they ain’t good enough then they can fuck off as far as I’m concerned.

The fault of this is on Gvardiol for the second time in a week. He might be a decent attacking player but fuck me he has some glaring weaknesses as a defender.

No way is Gvardiol a left back (or for that matter a defender - not that we've seen him as a centre half). After the spuds game I was not happy to see him on the team sheet for tonight's game
 
Pep has to take some blame regarding game management, made the right call with subs due too Sundays game however we still have our defence to high up sat on the half way line, it’s cocky and arrogant because we know that long ball over the top and we have clown of a keeper that never made it has a left winger will coming rushing out like rennie higuita and try a scorpion kick, what a tool

Seen what Tarquins did to the team we lost to?

I seen it, they played their first full 11, we had youngsters making their debuts.

We're only a few tweaks(Rico being dropped, Gvardiol replaced with Ake, Ortega in for Eddy, Dias Back and stones/akanji in midfield) from being a solid team again.

The glaring weaknesses are the two crowd favourites in defence who struggle to stay fit. Due to their injuries, Gvardiol, Akanji and Dias have been overplayed, Lewis probably too.

Even the best defenders start making mistakes when they are being overplayed.

Not this many! That one today was just ridiculous. I’d drop him for this week as he needs a rocket up his arse.

Well up to 75 mins there was plenty of fight. Some of our best football this season but they just crumbled after 75 mins. A couple of silly mistakes cost us and Pep holding his head in his hands at 3-1 doesn't help. He seemed to sarcastically cheer when they scored their second which was even more bizarre

I’d actually forgotten about his sarcastic clapping after the second.

The problems are there for all to see and the way we’re playing, to me, suggests that there are major issues somewhere. It’s gone beyond anything relating to injuries or a loss of confidence now.

If he can't make subs: with fifteen or so minutes left to play; when we're 3-0 up and coasting; when De Bruyne needs minutes in his legs with a big game coming up at the weekend; when Gundogan at his age was never brought back with the intention of him playing full ninety-minute games, especially not with the big game I just referred to coming up at the weekend and no-one to play in his position, because Kova's injured…
well, if he can't make subs in all those conditions, then he simply no longer has a squad.

Totally agree. You're right. And if you're Gundogan you're telling yourself, "what have i got myself into? I'm playing every game!" But the game turned when the subs were made. If there was ever a game that DeBruyne needed to play at least 70 minutes to get his fitness back - it was this one! You don't "save" him for 70 minutes against Liverpool to "tune him up". And McAtee for Ake was costly. McAtee wasn't even in the same area code for the 3rd goal. Lewis and Pusey were back and Bernardo comes charging in late. Then you see McAtee in frame 2 seconds later.
