Don't want to hear anyone whine about the matchday thread and it's negativity again. I just watched Pep scrapping with himself.
Absolutely spot on.Because they have more footballing knowledge than disgruntled city fans.
Gundo signing was just shortsighted…….
Sorry but not a single manager in the world would think it's foolish and naive to bring on a kid at that stage. Managers have been doing that for decades in the CL to give them experience when in a comfortable lead. If you cant do that at 3-0 up when can you do it?For years it was "city won't stop trying to score". It is not that way and hasn't been for 18 months.
I thought we were ok yesterday until the ridiculousness of the last 15 minutes. We actually played some through balls, not nearly as many as we should, but more than most games this season. Gundogan was the primary passer and he was better than he has been all season, but still way too slow.
We just stopped trying to score once we made the subs. I think for a team that has conceded 2 goals in every game this season (or at least it seems that way) to bring on a kid and plop him at centre back just seemed foolish and/or naive.
Pressure forces mistakes, and we invited pressure on once we stopped trying to score.
For all the pile on Gvardiol, who looked fine until Ake went off, Ederson was at fault for all 3 goals in someway or another. The lack of communication with Akanji for the first one, letting the ball between leg and post on the 2nd one, and then the 3rd one oh lord.
You have to laugh sometimes or you will cry/smash something (depending on who you are).
We need to get over them two leaving. They both wanted out. No one would be bothered about either of them if we were winning.What I’d give for Alvarez and palmer right now.
In an aging squad it really looks like two strange decisions. I know they wanted to go blah blah blah but still.What I’d give for Alvarez and palmer right now.
