Rico?

Ball watching……

I would normally agree but that collapse was inexcusable. Supporters are doing their bit.

Don't lose any sleep, Ray, I won't. You're old enough to remember the bad times of well over twenty years of misery broken dreams and false dawns. We're light years away from those dark days.

I’d rather sell the entire squad and start a fresh with 30 new players with Pep still the manager, than get rid of him.

It’s the players who are fucking shit, not Pep. They’re the ones playing. We’ve created and missed enough chances to win half a season of games in the last six games (85 shots and 7 goals and no wins, to about 35 shots for the opposition yet 17 goals conceded and 5 defeats and a draw).

Like he always says ‘it’s the players who win the games and win the trophies’, much like it’s all on them to capitulate at 3-0 up with 14 minutes remaining. He’s just on the touchline.

At the end of the day the buck stops with the manager. Always has and always will. No club can have a complete turnover of playing staff in the manner you've suggested. Pep is the highest paid manager in the world but when Feyenoord scored their 1st goal tonight, his reaction was pathetic.

Made a right **** of himself there.

He did

 

[Mr. Shush]

hilarious that some on here will blame the players and not Pep.

If you make 3 subs on 75 mins at 3-0 and draw 3-3 that is on the managers toes.

Something rotten in that dressing room and the buck stops at one man. Well 2 actually - Txiki should be nowhere near the club when they look to sign somebody to save the season in January. LFC Utd Villa coming up in December and every club in Europe knows the weaknesses that can be exploited in this City team.

Exactly. You've got the game won with 20 to go, you make three subs and then 5 minutes later it starts to fall apart. What does that tell you?

Its the playbook from Bournemouth. Brighton, Spurs have followed it in League play. Its almost comical that we are not changing our type of play. Its obvious that something needs to happen fast.

 

[jamielowndes]

It totally unbalanced the team
Mcatee is a million miles off standard and simpson pusey is a young kid. No need to introduce them

Simpson Pusey just isn't good enough right now.

It's not his fault, he's been thrown in at the deep end due to injury and he's having to play above his capability, but the truth is the truth.

 

[homerdog]

The most frustrating thing is not that we control games, don't look like scoring and then concede at the first opportunity.
No, it's that when we concede one, the piss poor defending that leads to a quick second seems like an inevitability.

So you're saying Pep out??

 

[RayCTID]

Like you are now?

Played well.

I am not lost at all. He was one of our better defenders tonight

 

[indianablue]

Quite pathetic really to keep collapsing like this. Got fuck all to do with burnout, fatigue and the rest of the bollocks people keep wheeling out. Injuries, senior players past it and younger ones not good enough are the main problems. Those 3 goals we shipped tonight were beyond fucking shocking though. Embarrassing doesn't even come close to that level of defending.

Every other Prem league team and most of the championship teams can hold on and defend a 3-0 lead with 20 mins to go. Christ a Sunday League pub team could have kept it to 2 goals and hung on for a win

 

[manimanc]

We’ve bought utter shite and let good players go to boot. Shocking business is coming home to roost

Have we fuck.
The team has come to the end of it's cycle, it's really not that hard to fathom.
The slagging off and the vitriol some posters show towards the team after the joy they've give us these past years is laughable.

 

[heslops barnet]

Wouldn't mind staggering the subs but I think some subs were the right idea. Gvardiol made 2 glaring errors, Ederson could have done better with at least 2 goals and we shouldn't have played such a high line at that stage of the game, with such an inexperienced back 4.

We also had absolutely fuck all game management from the experienced players - not sure if it was a desperation thing but they all seemed anxious to get more goals & often compounded any mistakes. They are all mentally fragile at the moment

We should of just put 11 behind the ball on 75 minutes, seems to work for most teams

 

[eyalluvitt]

If we are 3-0 up at Anfield after 75 minutes, anybody willing to bet a quid we win it?

 

[Prophet of Doom]

We miss Dias so terribly, we’ve conceded 15 goals since he got injured. He’s the only out and out defender we have. He’s also really committed and a leader, we are sorely lacking leadership at the moment.

We need to rest Lewis, Gvardiol if we can. Walker is done and needs to go as soon as possible.

Our back four needs to be Akanji, Stones, Diaa and Ake as soon as they’re all fit. We need defenders.

Our midfield is a shambles Gundogan should be closing out matches instead we’re asking him to run our midfield. Silva offers very little in midfield or wide. Foden is off form. Nunes is a perfect microcosm of our issues right now, great when we’re playing well, offers nothing defensively and seems to lack real conviction. No idea if we’re ever going to see KDB really shine for us again. We’ve bought poorly in midfield and need to get it right in January or who knows how bad it will get.

We desperately need to dig out some results until January so our season doesn’t unravel completely.

Great points but our problems stem from Txiki mistakes buying midfielders so we simply cant let him have another go in January.

The reason we didn’t buy in the summer was due to the continuing amortisation of his last 3 midfield mistakes buying Phillips, Nunes and Kovacic. Complete madness to allow him a 4th bite of the cherry.

Royally fucked until Rodri is back.

This is what happens when you tread water for months cause the director of football is fucking off - the manager says fuck all about what he’s doing until November - and there is a noose of 115 hanging round the neck of the club.

 

[oakiecokie]

Shut the fuck up

Give us a kiss duckie you`re one of these fans who can`t accept that we`re at times not as good as we think we are.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

This isn’t North Korea. People are allowed to moan when we throw away a 3 goal lead in 15mins

You I and any other blue have fuck all proper to moan about, have you?

 

[Bluesince1979]

Your problem is fans like you !!! Do you honestly believe that ALL those players should have stayed on and NOT been replaced ??
If so , then I don`t need to engage in any further discussions with you as you honestly don`t understand football.

Only one person telling the world they dont understand football and its … YOU

FT: Man City 3-3 Feyenoord

Feyenoord are the first side to ever avoid defeat in the Champions League after still trailing 0-3 in the 70th minute.

We're record breakers in lots of good ways but this season we're breaking records all over the place in a not good way.

 

[ysmsa]

You know who I really feel sorry for tonight?


Kaz's Alexa :-)))

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Should’ve stayed on his line like a grown up goalkeeper would.

Made a right **** of himself there.

Yeah but when he decides to come he has to get something man,ball or both even if it means a red
