Have any top English club - or any top club in Europe - experienced this kind of apocalyptic collapse in form, ever?

Yes, City, won the league, then the very next season got relegated, it's old hat, been there, done that.

I'd rather we didn't repeat it ofc...

We are supposed to have a great academy yet he persists with Walker at RB and the failed midfield experiment and leaves the youngsters, who at least would give us more energy on the bench, and its a joke that we have no striker from the academy for the bench.
Bobb is to come back but the worrying thing is Rodri aside, that midfield and attack are our best players and not a single goal threat between them

Fuck me Gundo thinks were playing good football

This crisis now, this is Manchester city !! Not ipswich town. Winning 1 game out of 10 is more than a bad run or form, thats way beyond it. What makes it even more odd is we started the season pretty well and then totally collapsed.

We haven't been great all season, we started pretty poor and its now become whatever the hell we call this.

Clappers said it was a mere blip though.

He can see it but who the fuck else is there to pick with Stones and Akanji injured constantly

Both have a poor injury record…………..it’s all there to see but unfortunately not the hierarchy

At times we are though, as Gundo said, it's when we give the ball away we're seemingly punished every time.

Add to that, we need a someone to score goals. Teams are shutting down Erling and we just lack finishing.

We have a lot of sunshine fans on here. I'd love to see how they'd have coped with the late 1990s. Getting dicked 4-0 at home by Wimbledon, for example. Stockport coming to Maine Road, and Tony Dinning giving it the big 'un in front of the North Stand. I seriously doubt they were around back then, though.

I think a lot of people were there in the late 90s mate, I certainly was.

But that means absolutely nothing to the current situation.

Back then we had fuck all money, a team cobbled together with some young players and a load of journeymen, and although we still rightly regarded ourselves as a big club, expectations were suitably low.

Currently we have a squad full of top quality players and I believe we’re in the top 2 or 3 globally in terms of revenue and wages. We have the best facilities, the best resources, and want for nothing. Expectations are clearly going to be different.

Turning out performances like that week after week, lacking any ambition or cohesion, discipline or desire, raises serious questions and we seem incapable of reversing the trend. What happened 30 years ago isn’t terribly relevant.

Gundogan is right in that we are playing good football, but the problem is that it’s 2-3 seconds slower than it used to be, so any team worth its salt can keep us at bay and penetrate us when the chances inevitably come.

Good football? We’ve one win in 10 and have conceded a mountain of goals and continue to do so. Open your eyes

 

[A J Styles]

Sorry if already asked.

If we get knocked out, is it out of Europe fully or into Europa League?

 

[Millennium]

He's either brilliant or poor. He didn't have much to do tonight and didn't do anything to suggest he should be in goal for the Derby. He needs to remember that every keeper in the league now plays with their feet and they can save shots as well.

That second goal tells allot about his poor performance.
