[StretfordBlueInCork]

the dutch league is not in the top five euro leagues,ok Feyenoord are their best team but to lose a three goal advantage in 15 mins at home is not what would have happened last season,there is something wrwrong

Feyenoord are 4th

self harming

From someone who knows it is a very worrying picture . As some say Pep needs a break after performing miracles for the past few years .

Don't be sorry pal. It shouldn't, you're right but it did. I don't know how long you've been a blue but my point is I've seen us drawing games from winning positions and losing games regularly(sometimes heavily) for many years when we didn't have a world class manager and we weren't a well run club. Quite the contrary for many many years.

We're in a slump and descending from the summit of Mount Everest, but we're one of the few clubs in world football to have climed Everest so our recent highs far outweigh or current low.

I've been a blue since 88 been at Maine Road with my Dad and Grandad during our period. I agree a lot with what you are saying (am not having a go at you) and yes we are in a slump at the moment but that was an moment to stop the rot tonight. Get a good result and stop the talk from everyone pundits and rival fans a like. Again mate am not having a go at you am just really annoyed being 3-0 up and we gave the game away imo

It was classic old school stuff. Poor old Erling after all those goals.

I haven't seen a City team collapse so spectacularly since the 3-3 at home to Bournemouth when we were 3-0 up at halftime. Congas on the Kippax, party time then we fell to pieces.

It is easy to forget that the treble winning season was pretty much a write off at this point.

We never had a 5 match losing run with two absolute hammerings followed by a complete and utter capitulation though. It's not going to get better any time soon either.

Im marching from Lime Street , 130ish Sunday with fireworks in a Feyenoord stylee. Im optimistic of being arrested, hospitalised, sectioned (ideally all 3 ) well before kick off.

And on the subject of the subs, it was not the time to be putting Macatee and Simpson Pusey on the pitch, when we’ve got such fragile confidence. Certainly not when we’ve got Walker, Dias and Savinho available.

Get the game won.

That said, I’m also staggered that once we conceded Pep didn’t get Dias or Walker in the pitch to batten down the hatches.

If KDB is taking quick free kicks at 3-2 with two minutes left, it’s not making much difference.
City of the last 4 seasons didn’t come anywhere near drawing that game. They’re not looking for 4-1, they’re just playing the game out.
You’d think the Madrid game would be emblazoned across them but no.
Not one player got ‘cramp’, not one player fouled anybody, no breaking up play. Remember Kev at the corner flag v Villa in the 3-2 game, or against the rags? No way are we conceding again in those games.
I think we’ve just gone a bit soft.Also, 2 of the 3 players likely to engage in some shithousery were taken off after 3-0.
Shame Eddie didn’t go off because Ortega is never letting that second one past him!!
Anyway, onwards and upwards with a rot stopping victory on Sunday……

Good post
I am totally at a loss as to why we don’t make any tackles. We have forgotten how to put our foot in. Rodri is a big miss in this respect.
We’ve always had enforcers in the middle and desperately need one in the January window. Dinho where art thou…

A 30 year old Fernandinho is exactly what we need. Someone with balls. An organiser, a leader and he could play a bit too

Biggest thing that’s stood out for me last few weeks.

We look not just not “match fit” but just generally not fit.

It’s like me if I miss 6 a side for a couple of weeks I’m absolutely nowhere near it for the first 2 games back. That’s how most of them look at the minute.

It’s a snow ball effect-they have little time to rest/recover/train and with a small squad it’s compounding everything. It’s awful to see tbh. Not sure how they stop the rot either.

Yes I was there. Toe curling.
