I don’t even think this was on Pep. More on personnel with a sprinkle of Pep

I agree mate, the fixtures coming up and how frequently is ridiculous so I’d have gambled when the changes today as well

strongest team today then Wednesday then next weekend ?

people need their fuckin heads testing

 

[stan bowles]

Foden playing wide lessens his impact and the ability to influence the game. Sometimes he doesn't see the ball for several minutes. Needed him as #10 today.

 

[Del_Bosque]

The title has to be the priority, always play your strongest side

I'd agree mate, I reckon at this stage as well momentum is as big a factor

Can't help their mentality thinking we can get done on the counter like we did today, going into the game against Dortmund who are miles better at it

We had so many people playing next to each other that had hardly played together before and looked rusty

Ake and Mendy

Ake and Stones

Ferna and Stones

Zinchenko and Bernardo

Torres and Cancelo

was a couple of steps too far with the rotation for me

 

[kun]

Not stupid at all, title has to be the priority, always!

And it's wrapped up. We already prioritised it and we're walking it.

 

[TueartsOHK]

Poor only because teams sit back and wait for a mistake to counter.

That was the only way they are going to win the game. Where we were poor was because we failed to get behind their parked bus and too many players were taking long pot shots which were miles off target. If we’d taken some our chances earlier in the game it would have been a totally different match.Pep took a chance starting that eleven and it didnt pay off.

 

[eversince 76]

Zinch is a midfielder. He plays there for Ukraine. You do realize that pep moved him to rb? Right?

Yes I know he plays in midfield for Ukraine. But he hasn’t for City. Nor with Ake and Mendy around him. Like I said. Pep says he studied Leeds for a fck 20 hrs to come up with this?

 

[Blue Theatre]

We've got to guard against taking winning the league for granted.

If Utd beat Spurs & win their game in hand, then we're 8 pts ahead with 6 to play.

Exactly the same position, in reverse, as led to the Aguerooooo moment.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Shouldn't even be close

Sterling should be on the same money as me working Monday to Friday and that's just above minimum wage...Then again I wouldn't even let him drive my fork lift.

 

[ayrshire_blue]

Dallas was.
Costa wasn't.

Watch it again.

It's you who needs to watch it again mate. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. He was in his own half AND he wasn't beyond the last defender.

 

[Keeper!]

Title is done

nothing is done, even Spurs is going to be tough, now the real games start and we are not at our best

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Title is done

no, it isn't. Not by a long shot. Wasted a home banker with some tough away's to come and the potential for it to be 8 points with 6 games left. Our form and performances have dropped off so much every game looks a difficult challenge. Same as always this time of year, get the QFs and the team starts shitting itself for no reason.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Spot on. Along with Ferran who barely gets a kick of a ball all thrown in together!

Lescott and Ferdinand have just made the point that Torres looks a lot like Sergio when he plays as a striker. Maybe that’s where he should be rather than being stuck out on the wing where he’s not really having any impact.

 

[eyalluvitt]

A freak result like the derby , wasteful domination and get sucker punched.
Like my ex wife Ederson needs to learn how to keep his legs closed.

I think we should be okay going into the CL and FA Cup and I’d have sacrificed this game to make sure we win them but some of these players are on a lot of money and they aren’t up to scratch

 

[Bill]

The opposite is true. To have a chance of a quadruple we have to keep our best players fresh and injury free for the biggest games. It’s not arrogance. It’s common sense.

let's flip that.
rack up the points and win the league asap. then rest as many as you like . put the best 11 out in every cup game .

 

[Blu1]

Foden playing wide lessens his impact and the ability to influence the game. Sometimes he doesn't see the ball for several minutes. Needed him as #10 today.

No 10 every game for me

 

[Bluefen]

Doesn’t matter what Team Pep picked - you can’t have Torres, Sterling, Cancelo, Mendy putting in 3/10 performances and expect to win against a well organised and committed side... Jesus was busy but hardly effective either

 

[Keeper!]

And it's wrapped up. We already prioritised it and we're walking it.

its not over, big few weeks coming up

 

[kun]

It's you who needs to watch it again mate. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. He was in his own half AND he wasn't beyond the last defender.

Not when the ball was played he wasn't mate. I promise you watch it again.

It's tight, but Costa's leg is offside. And he is very obviously not in his own half.

 

[LongsightM13]

Think the goalkeeping coach should have a busy week chaining Eddie to the crossbar to stop him rushing out so much and making it easier to knock it past him

If he didn't rush out we would have already been 2-1 down when Rafinha went clear through on goal tbf
