did it work ?

Careful Bill we have a sensitive one here, remember mate you only say positive stuff about city on here nothing negative. Its the reason I stopped coming on here

Rags win their two games in hand our bottle will go

Probably a good job that the rags winning both is unlikely

I have to question my sanity reading this thread. The levels of overreaction and utter nonsense make it a waste of time trying to find sensible points.

Today wasn't good and typical of many of our losing performances: total domination, lots of shots and concede from the only two shots our opponent has.

What annoys me most is conceding so easily in added time: you have to make sure you don't lose at that stage and accept that a win is a bonus if you can work another opening.

exactly. A point tossed away for nothing.

we have absolutely nothing up top, that will come back to hit us hard at the business end of the season

Yes that is a big concern in the games that really matter. Our record when we fall behind is not good and that is when you need someone to pop up. Gundog has covered this up to a certain extent and hopefully he has a few more important goals in him. Hard to know if this poor performance will be a good or a bad thing ultimately as we head into a crucial period.

Our "squad players" looked poor.

Kev looked pissed off at the end to have warmed up like that, then not to be used, and then having to stand there and witness their breakaway winner.
Bet he's fucking fuming

Can someone help me out with this City training session clip? Is this Mendy or Sterling?

Our 4 losses in the league: (city stat first)

Leicester

Shots 16/7
On Target 5/7

Spurs

Shots 22/5
On Target 5/2

Scum

Shots 23/8
On Target 6/6


Leeds

Shots 29/2
On Target 7/2

Total shots 90/22
On Target 23/17
Goals. 3/11

Damning...1 goal every 30 shots in those 4 losses v 1 in 2 against!

It would be interesting to see which of our players have had the most shots in that lot.

What a load of rubbish. It was Peps fault for playing the reserve team. The game was crying out for some creativity from Dr Bruyne and he still didn't bring him on. Sterling was awful again, when was the last time he actually played well in a game? Stones was at fault for their second goal, he was too busy playing as an attacking midfielder to be back in his proper position where he should be!

 

[HelloCity]

Last season we had no chance of winning the league after the restart but reached an FA Cup semi final.

We had plenty rest also for the Lyon game and still ended up going out.

Rotation is certainly welcome but not to the extent where you take it for granted that your rested players win you games as a matter of course.

When you’re going for all 4 trophies in the space of less than 2 months though.

Tbh, I actually think playing at home is another issue. Our best performances have been mostly away as with most sides. I think we’ll play better away to Dortmund than we did in the home leg. Hopefully that’ll be enough for us to go through.

I just believe Sterling, due to his consistent top level performances, is allowed an off season.
If he doesn't get back to his electric best next season then there are some serious issues.

Sterling's poor form is far stronger than Gundo's, Stones' or even Mahrez's worst seasons.

He wasn’t great last season mate either and I have always gave him the benefit of the doubt but now I can’t . Not bothered that we got beat as Leeds are one of the top teams in the league but I’m more alarmed that we lacked bite
