Fair point I guess.
And you can’t tell me that this wouldn’t be the game when Dias gets flattened like Van Dyke and doesn’t play again for a year. It’s clear that the most important games this fortnight are the Dortmund games, so there’s no harm in putting those first. That’s an advantage we have over Dortmund (by doing so well in the league, while they’re fighting for European qualification) so we should use it.Pep the meddler. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. You can’t tell me Dias is exhausted. Utter tosh.
It was a disjointed performance overall because of the changes but still had more than enough good chances to win the game comfortably. But we didn't. Shit happens that's the infuriating beauty of football for you. As usual though some of the players who didn't quite live up to expectations need stringing up by some on here as usual. Laughable the overreaction sometimes on the very rare occasion we lose.
Sterling is done at this club. He is a million miles away from the standards he set himself over the last few seasons. Its every game he plays now. Just absolute shite. Cash in on him in the summer. We can't afford passengers when we are fighting on all fronts for trophys.
The whole squad. You can be more specific if you want thoughWell yeah, the lads will, the lads who were watching from the stand that is.
No it doesn't, he is gracious about pretty much every opponent whether it is Fulham, Southampton, Brighton or any of the bigger t
When he goes overboard building an opponent up, like the Rags or Leeds it seems to have a negative effect on our players i.e. the results vs the Rags and Leeds.No it doesn't, he is gracious about pretty much every opponent whether it is Fulham, Southampton, Brighton or any of the bigger teams.

Different scenario with the covid break ruining and fitness and formWe were in a position last year to concentrate on an FA Cup semi-final and really focus on Champs League, against a mid-table French side.
Rested legs didn't afford us the results we had hoped for.
The league is never done until it's done.
City fans should know this better than anybody.
It’s a balance, factoring in a ban, vs the point gained by a draw, the quality/depth of our squad, and the matches we have to play with. I’m not 100% on it either way, but in this case I don’t think it’s as clear cut a judgement as that.Not really, you don't want your best players suspended; especially if they get a three game ban.
If there was one game we didn’t mind losing it was this one. Decent performance 2nd half but it was just one of those days. Obviously games like this raise questions about our lack of a killer instinct and the urgent need to purchase that killer but equally you can argue there aren’t many games where the lack of that costs us.
Get a result in Germany and beat Chelsea and this game will be forgot
How's your handicap ?Was golfing today so haven’t seen the game but looking at the stats presume it was just one of those days???
No idea. Its simple maths and logicyep.. what do people not understand about this.

Disappointing - but we sacrificed today for Dortmund. That being said still plenty in the side today to beat Leeds.
I just want to wrap up the title soon. I know the odds of us fucking this up are astronomical but I just want it mathematically won or I'll continue to have this lingering doubt in my mind.
Pretty great we have a points gap then isn't it?This loss will mean absolutely zip if we don’t beat Dortmund and press on and win the PL. We ALL know we are STILL catchable, anymore performances like that, and we WILL be a laughing stock.
just absolutely gutted at that result today to be honest, weekend ruined
