DID IT FUCK!

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I think I will send City the bill for my heart being in my arse right now.

When Christian Barnard did the first heart transplant, I don't think he meant for them to end up there.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

It’s cheating in plain site Fulham’s third gaol was offside if you apply the Newcastle rules where the armpit played the attacker onside . Tonight the attackers armpit was ahead of the last defender, however tonight they reverted to the City defenders foot when the Fulham players upper body was ahead of the defender …it’s bent full stop

They can't even be arsed to do the cgi simulated view

 

[waspish]

It's just all so fucking passive.

A city team of a few seasons ago whether winning 1-0 or 5-1 would be focused on dominating the ball. Essentially boring the opposition to death, whilst asserting our dominance over anyone we played.

Now? We sit off way too much, we're bizarrely way less arsed about winning the ball back. Let them pass it wide, let them run off us, let them get balls into our box, let them fucking shoot.

There's just so little control from where we were not all that long ago.

Yep passive that’s what we are when you have 65+ possession it’s alright having passive players! We need more Gonzales in our back line

 

[Burtonblue]

Pub team defending again
We are nowhere good enough out of possession
A real concern
Genuinely thought we were going to get done then
3 points
Move on

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

DOKU BRILLIANT !! ??
What fucking game were you watching ? Not surprised one bit why he was subbed early on.

He was very sloppy on the ball tonight. Don't mind him losing it if he's taking players on but his passing and general play was off tonight.

However you could say that about pretty much all our players.

 

[normskih]

We need another centre mid, when Nico went off we collapsed

Agreed, we have Rodri but is he going to be the same player? Only he and City will know, if he isn't we need to bring someone in, quickly.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Only team in the league that would give up a 5.1 lead.

This team is done.

Pep subs absolutely baffling.

Good job we didn’t lol

 

[madloaf]

Scored and got an assist caused them many problems. What were u watching? lol

I think you're both right. He didn't score. It was hitting the corner flag. He did get an assist. And he lost the ball a ton. A real mixed bag.

 

[argyle]

Why did Pep watch Bernardo struggle, then bring of Nico. I’m genuinely confused at the decision to bring Nico off.

Yeah that was a mad one.

The club gambled yet again on Rodri being fit. He wont be until next season.

So to take off our only DM was a head scratcher. Maybe his balls were injured?

 

[Muttley59]

Peps defensive tactics were strange to say the least, bordering on panic. Close up of Nico shaking his head walking off told a story. Played Stones in his place for 5 mins then changed. it for Nico who still went roaming up the pitch into the far corner. And putting Savinho on when everyone knows he's utter crap ??

 

[malg]

Fulham lost. Only their second home defeat of the season

City scored 5

Erling gets that 100th goal

Move up to 2 point behind Arsenal

Think City fans should be the ones feeling entertained

After the final whistle, yep absolutely, at 1-5 definitely, at 2-5 I bet a few were getting more tense, at 3-5 the enjoyment started to go, at 4-5 it was back to Typical City.

However - it's us.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Am fuming at that

Awful

Fucking hell Pep what gave you the idea of subbing Nico G? Did you not learn int he Champion League Final? Baffling

Please stop with the standing off tactics and can we control the fucking game please

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Fantastic photo.

33 is glorious

 

[cupsforcockups]

Bernado.nunez miles off it and not even mentioning savings.Defended too deep and not closing down quick Slough but hey we WON

 

[Ric]

Never a dull moment with City, you have to give us that. Could spend the night over-analysing our obvious failings, but life's too short so am going to have a glass of wine and enjoy the three points at a difficult away ground! Hopefully my heart rate will get back to something normal soon.

 

[dickie davies]

Can I come out from behind the settee?

 

[simon23]

What would you do to put it right ?
Pick a team, formation & tactics...

I literally just posted that with the current squad Pep cant fix it, unless Rodri comes back and is at his best - which is highly unlikely..

The chance was the summer....we didnt fix it then

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Fuckin chaos ;-)

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

And...when the going gets tough...we don't get going. We seem to fall out of games for 20-25 minute spells and don't seem to be able to get back in it. Happening far too often these days.
