Treble still on anyway.

Anyone want to talk about KDB's performance or lack there of?

I thought he was ok. Laid one on a plate for Erl. He’s the least of our problems at the moment

OMG Peps post match interview was recorded after a different game to the one Ilkay was interviewed at.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

That was awful. Juve are awful, but we were worse. Seems like we don't want to run at all.

We played well at Chelsea, we played sort of well against Ipswich and then the performances took a drop. We were getting away with results for weeks until we finally got exposed.

I agree and tbh we played Chelsea at the right time. The clappers never saw it or didn't want to see it coming.

My concern is Pep, he has no history of this kind of challenge. He seems to be as inept as the players during this period.

I agree, the only downside is the lost revenue.
We certainly aren’t winning it this season and let’s be honest if we get to the next stage there’s a very good chance we’d be going out anyway.

Madrid in the playoffs and dippers in the next phase apparently

This was a flat performance and there's no getting away from that. Singling out individuals is pointless: the team did not perform.

Pep is unsackble for this season and we should at least see what happens at end of the Summer transfer window with the new signings and if he can get us firing again. The FA Cup is our only realistic trophy we can win this season.

He won 4 leagues in a row and a treble. To me, short of relegating us he’s unsackable

Football is 90% about recruitment and ours has been on a beach the last few years. Unfortunately it has resulted in this, it was always going to come buying the crap we have and the inability to go in the market. Remember the days when we had Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko and Mario, jeez.

It's only the last 2 months that the recruitment seems bad.

Was anyone really questioning the club during 4 titles wins in a row?

A couple of thoughts
1. Our first team has been allowed to age..no real succession planning..Great youngsters binned off (e.g.Palmer)..I remember the same problem with an all-conquoring French rugby side some years ago.
2. Linked to this..injuries seem to have hit City over the last couple of years way more than any other top 6 side...what's going on?...are the conditioning team not up to it? Is it just the aging players' bodies or both ?
3 why the fook does Pep not seem able to coach a defence?
