Has it been a good/poor season?

[Gray]

Whilst that is true. It's not why we lost last night. We lost because Pep blew his team selection and focused on Lyon v Manchester City 2019

I don't disagree but we no longer have a skipper stearing the craft, too many overly nice players.

In his first season PEP was dealt a defence that was incompatible with his attacking ambition so we accepted first season failure. This season we were hit with injury to Laporte and failure to replace Kompany was not his fault but Laporte's absence did not affect the FA Cup and Champions League. Pep's insistence with trying to play a defensive midfield employing part of the Rodri/Gundogan/D.Silva/Fernandino axis has cost us repeatedly. He keeps trying to get something out of this when it is doomed to fail.

That's the problem with managers like Pep. They have to show the world I gave you barcelona and tiki taka now I am going to show you something else. Ego trips and vain projects. Costly.

I think we’ll be in a battle for top 4,I honestly think we will struggle to win the league when it starts up in September..

We wont challenge for the title unless Pep abandons his projects.

We certainly have the best squad but we have a manager who has lost the plot. It is unknown whether this is fatal now. I think he may move on and be paid off for that final year. I want him to either extend or move on. A lame duck cracked Pep will likely see a continuation of this season.

In truth we don't know anything but last night will colour the entire Summer or what is left of it.

Our genius has become a potential millstone.

Last night was disappointing but as it badly unraveled again I thought thank god we won't face Bayern. Maybe the players thought the same!!

Well Watford got a good stuffing in the FA Cup Final the previous year and they were no better than Villa.

That’s why they got a good stuffing. They were much worse than Villa & are now relegated

It shows how far we have come when second in the Premiership, beating Real Madrid twice and winning the league cup is classed as a bad season.

I was in the crowd of 8015 against Swindon in 1965.

Get a grip ffs!

Sterling needs to be fined a months wages for that miss btw.

What a load of bollocks. I’ve been going for 30 years, you don’t judge a season on what happened 50 years ago.
It’s been a poor season.
We have the best squad in the league , with the best manager in the league, with a club built for him with plenty of resources. This season has been piss poor. 9 league defeats, double derby defeats, Norwich , Southampton, going out with a whimper against a weak arsenal in a semi final. Throwing the game against Lyon a team who were 7th in a league the standard of league One.

A very bad season I must say, but it's understandable considering it's a transitional period and we might have been hampered by the FFP/CAS cloud hanging over our heads. With that said, we shouldn't have gone out against Lyon last night.

All down to how we react now - Pep needs to commit or go imo, I hope he stays and that we are able to rebuild/tweak the squad with new hungry players.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

We're in a transition phase.

I don't know any other team that has managed to cope through that.

The next generation will be set for next season

Onwards and upwards... Not getting caught up in this negative sack the manager bollocks

Way too many "bad days at the office" this season and our beloved Pep looks like he needs a year away from football. No doubt he's a tactical genius but constant tinkering along with a steady supply of comic-book defensive errors have given our opponents a significant boost and belief that we're there for the taking. Saw the team selection last night and a blind man on a galloping horse could see we were going to struggle but the low point of the season for me was the no-show against the Arse in the FA Cup S/F - we'd a great chance of retaining it.

We've seen off - for now - a clear and orchestrated attack on our Club this season, have blown apart any notion of fairness or integrity within the game and exposed the Cartel's toxic influence. Our massed enemies outside the Club will continue to throw as much muck at us in the hope that some of it sticks and can be used to further their bitterness and stinking racism towards us and our owners. But guess what - we're still here you bastards, finished 2nd in the corrupt PL and have another nice shiny new trophy in our cabinet.

Get behind the Team lads and lasses - Manchester City Football Club is in our blood.

An awful season, the lockdown gave us a chance to recharge and go out and win the cups. We were knocked out of both quite comfortably. Thankfully we have a few weeks and then it starts again. No time to sit around and think about it.
