Off to the pub for last orders, back at 945 ffs Jesus, Mahrez,Edghill

He's a kid and need still to be looked after, hence why it's incredible we have not strengthened midfield.

We made the same mistake by not replacing Vinny and thinking we could get away with it

 

[Keeper!]

Cannot understand how we can say foden is good enough to take over from our greatest ever player . Surely you that is putting massive pressure on him .

Exactly, replacing the finest player ever to wear our shirt, Foden has a lot to learn, wonderful talent, but clearly far from the finished article .

It's not all about winning and we cannot win them all. Our title winning teams are slowly being replaced by new players being signed and young players coming through. Several key players out today and a few howlers from established players against a great counter attacking team. A defeat like that isn't easy to take or accept. If Guardiola throws the towel in now I will be shocked. Just because a great manager is perceived by some as failing it doesn't make him a failure, especially a manager of the statue of Pep. We are in transition rebuilding for the future and I see results like this as one step backwards and two steps (eventually) forwards. Great managers come through a transitional period with further success like Ferguson did at the United. Time will tell whether Guardiola has the guts and desire to evolve this squad to past glories. I'm hoping he will. He already has my thanks and respect for what he has thus far achieved, and any blue worth his salt will think the same.

Pep has got to do something different and the big question is will he? Ideally the club will pull one or two more transfers out of the fire after Dias but that may be a forlorn hope. I realise that it is easier said than done making several changes to a squad like our in the close season but from the outside you wonder if the club have been too passive.

The fact that he has tried the double pivot is something but he erred by chasing the game and moving away from that.

We have a habit of switching play over to mendy.who takes two touches to get it under control . By the time he tries crossing he is marked so he plays it backwards it slows us right down.his lack of quality is killing us much prefer zin there and thats saying sumat!

My son called it,would rather have zinchenko than mendy who can’t defend but with zinchenko at least he’s more comfortable on the ball as he’s a midfielder first off ..

 

[eyalluvitt]

Absolutely.

But when the same ref gives three similar penalties at one end and doesn’t give a similar one at the other, it makes you wonder whether simple inconsistency is a complete explanation.

Coz they appealed/screamed for everything like whiney 14 yr old girls and after 80 fouls not being given on our players ,we just can't be arsed

 

[SidJames]

The last thing we need now is to panic buy and buy more shite. What we need is to get rid of the blokes who are scouting and fronting these players.

Have to reluctantly agree with this.

As much as we want new signings,If Pep is running down the clock to pick up his last Cheque.

Makes no sense buying more potentially shit players,and having to move twice the amount of shit players on.

We need a center half as a bare minimum to do the basics in defense. Embarrassing i know.

 

[ballinio]

I am not totally convinced about Rodri. He is a good player but he is almost pogba stan where we need another midfielder along side him to get Rodri's full value. That ain't right. Ferna in his peak would scrub all dangers out in midfield and provide a quick pass to kdb or David to start the attack. Something Rodri rarely does.
I feel weird about this transfer because Rodri's ex teammate would have been the best answer to all our problems - Partey
Somehow going for Rodri never felt right

Rodri is garbage , not suited at all to premier league football, my gran is quicker

 

[Shirley]

100%

I got pelters for saying this earlier,

I said he’s still not ready to replace Dave and play every 3 days . Let’s see if you get called a rag and abused like I did ;)

Was it painful when you got neutered?

 

[hilts]

I know you didn't it mate, but you quoted my post which was a reply to someone who did.

I agree something has to happen and it will. We have another CB coming who actually wants to play for us for a start. Mendy should never play if we have another viable left back fit. We've had some rotten luck with both Aguero and Gabby out and having to rely on a 17 year old.

Today’s result is not relevant really it’s just an addition to some awful performances last year in the league fa cup and champions league. When you get beat by much inferior sides this often something is very wrong. It stands out a mile to me. How many games last season and this can you say we performed above our collective ability?

If you have a manager who can now only beat poorer sides and often lose to them as well it’s seems silly not to question if he is doing a good job.
