Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

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.
So you think Doku savio nunes kovacic have been buys that sustained our level? That they have adequately replaced mahrez Alvarez palmer Laporte from our treble winning squad? Or have arrived able to replace aging squad members? Your deluded if so.
 
Was it Grealish took a stupid quick free kick at 3-1 ? Trying to get the 4th, where we gave possession away immediately ? He's not a kid, and with his experoience should know how to keep the ball in those circumstances. Bernardo, again worked very hard (when does he not ?) but he's in awful form right now.

The last 15 minutes were an absolute joke, an excercise in how not to control a football match, very out of City's normal way, at 3-0, or even 3-1, we would 99% win until recently, we currently look a shambles if we concede a goal.

There was more than enough experience out there tonight, for that not to happen, and it was a shambles.

Lets also face it, they are a pretty poor team, and would struggle to stay in the PL, so how did we manage to throw that away ?

He was also weird against Spurs. His inexplicable long square ball (a brilliant pass to Werner) helped Spurs score the 4th goal.

Palmer in our shirt was poor, average on a good day, stop this crap!!

But he wasn’t crap mate. He was better than mcatee currently taking up a squad place. To deny that is just nonsense. Palmer got a decent number of minutes and a few goals. To say he was crap in a city shirt is wrong. Has he gone up a level obviously he has but he was never crap. You could see he had quality.
 
People really struggle to accept it's normal to have a bad season after winning 6 in 7 titles and two Trebles, the domestic one and the CL involving one.

It's normal to have many injuries, fatigue and bad luck after a period of utter dominance. It's like we have a lot of bad luck concentrated in a single season, which is a good thing, as otherwise we wouldn't have won so many trophies. Imagine bad injuries to Rodri or Haaland or Dias in the previous two seasons....

It is what it is. If we don't regain form this season, which I doubt, we'll be back to our normal selves next season. Then we'll have Rodri and several new players, and we'll go again.

All down to pep wanting a small squad! Pep thought we have Bob and we have that kid coming in January who plays plus palmer needs to play! Bottom line is the club pep knows how good palmer is he was under contract for another 3/4 years so what if he might be benched for most of the season! Pep way of managing our club managing the players has worked but when you have an injury crises like we have you can always look back and start the blame game!

I'm blaming the club for not foreseeing a team that has won it all getting older and one injury away from having an average season to an injury crises!

His last season he was given chances but was hugely underwhelming.

He would now walk into this team but his progress at Chelsea is off the scale, I am sure everyone involved was surprised how it's turned out including Palmer.

We have far more issues than worrying about losing and making a mistake on one young player.
 
People need to stop going on about O’Reilly. He’s about 13 months old and has looked it in the few times he’s featured.

He’s not the answer and we are not going to see him.
So put on an attack minded 15 month old midfielder instead?
