Little cûnt Neville was close to wetting himself with excitement.

unfortunately the same rules don’t apply. Nobody wants us to win.

Is Pep's mind at the right place ?
He looks depress. He had a big personal tragedy to deal with and even before that he was a bit dejected this season.
I don't feel good about this season along with the entire dilly dallying in the transfer window to save a few millions

Every time he IS

Well that was fucking embarassing. So fucking tired of playing against teams that park the bus. Constantly 11 men behind the ball

Talking like a pillock.

Suicidal taking Fern off.

Lets just leave a gaping hole exactly where a team like Leicester are great at exposing space.

What worries me the most though was the lack of pride and fight.

Worrying indeed that taking off an ageing 35 yo DM would reduce us to the football equivalent of the Torrey Canyon.

Pep: We must accept it and move on

Pep Guardiola says that City must accept the 5-2 defeat to Leicester and move on.

Yes but possession is everything to Pep . We were winning this game. When possession and retrieval of the ball fails there is no plan B. So he had better correct it . Maybe he cant especially with the injuries etc. But when they are all fit we will see what happens.
I'm normally positive overall but it's the inability to hold on to a slender lead and keep the intensity to a high level that has me concerned. Why should we be thinking every single game that we are going to need 2 or 3 goals to win? Why isn't 1 goal enough? We know the answers .

Probably shouldn't have taken Dinho off but he fucked up really badly on their first goal; if he'd just contained Mendy rather than disappearing into no-man's land, we might have had a completely different result.

Tbf at the time I thought it was a good substitution, we weren’t looking like scoring , was happy to see delap and thought we could manage with just one of Rodri or fern , obviously quickly went tits up though not long after fern went off .

You have to put it in context tho.

The establishment are sick to death of city winning everything. Didn’t you see how elated they were on Sky? It was like Liverpool had won the CL again.

We have to take it on the chin blues. Of course they love us getting beat. Sky have had to watch us lift trophies for years. They have been waiting for us to fall to stick the. Knife in. Fuck them all. Turn it off. I won’t watch or read anything written. Onto the next game with Dias and Laporte. Pls pep no mendy. Play with 10 if we have to:)

That didn’t help but we play that risk reward way. However there were basic errors after that. Someone has to chop the Mendy, I think it’s Mahrez that had the chance. Then Walker has to not be stupid because he got wrong side and see what happens.

3 penalties and 3 dives.
The diving and weak referees are ruining the game more than the handball rule. All to let the referees avoid using common sense eyes and brain at the same time.

Does anyone know if Vardys goal was checked for offside- looked close?

 

[kwm1988]

Didn't need to be, his positional play was superb

He deffo had a bit of pace aswell , he covered a ridiculous amount of ground in our back to back title seasons .

Regardless of who we pick to play in defense our defending is shambolic. That tells me its the defensive system. Which lands at Pep`s door.

Yep
