No it wasn't, but my opinion of our defenders is such that I wouldn't rule out anyone being an improvement on any of them.

Liverpool & Arsenal are going to destroy us.
We start each game the same. Passing the ball sideways whist the opposition get in set positions Nick the ball off us and bang.
Was actually embarrassing last night. We are painfully slow and laboured.
I still have faith, read his books he does this with players moves them around it positions asks them to do things in possession & positions they are not comfortable in, and in the end they become comfortable all over the park.
This is crunch time, as he needs to make a decision as the players he has are beyond shite at the back. Plus he needs to stop being stupid and play a 4 there.

Poor Pep - about a minute from the end he just started talking complete gibberish. I couldn't understand a word he was saying.
Think that was Spanish.
morning always feels worst after a big loss but we are manchester city and like i said yesterday 9 points clear of united whats worst us or them
we are miles away from being the finished article forget pep's record this is manchester city and we hold no power in the premier league and nobody hands us anything and we have to beat the system first and then think about winning a football match. pep will now know in england you have to play forget respect its never going to happen
we are in need of 5 or 6 players right now but forget the next transfer window in jan its the summer transfer window in 2017 that will be key to manchester city and next season. i don't think anybody in the winter window will make us a better defending unit who is going to sell there best players in mid-season so i don't see it. so we have to start to lock the doors at the back go back to keeping clean sheets first before thinking of winning the game with a all out attack setup
the honeymoon period is over questions are now being asked and the results have gone out of the window the time is now for pep to stand up and face the music show what all the fuss is about the pep way and style of football we all talked about and seen before. manchester city have time and pep will be given time and money but if we don't shape up soon the love will turn into stress and when the will to give 100% changes to having to give 100% that's is when the good get going or move on
i really think there is no pressure on pep this season other than top 4 and champions league football so we have to get behind the team and stand up together and like yesterday at 4.0 the fans was great singing and having a laugh yes the hurt but what else can you do other than (PRIDE IN BATTLE)

This what annoys me most about what we saw yesterday. The players getting the blame for the manager's idiot ideas.
Kolarov losing a sprint with Vardy is not down to lack of pace. Zabaleta not being able to overlap is not down to effort.
Square pegs in round holes. No one has any objection to attacking football and risk-taking but use your assets appropriately.
Zabba was the least of all problems.
Which defenders would you have advocated in the middle? Two v Vardy instead of the 3 who couldn't do the job perhaps ? And we know that would be ok because ?
Three defenders watching a ball come to a Leicester player in yards of space, then watching whilst he passes it, then watching Vardy jog through & bury it, is not their fault ? It's 'the system' ?
'The system' which Kolarov has worked on since August, says 'all stand in a line & watch' ?
The 8 players we had around/in front of the ball when Leicester scored the 2nd wasn't enough ?

Not calling for his head because I think the end for Pep may just be around the corner. I say that with a sense of sadness rather than glee. He appears so out of his depth in England
that I feel sorry for him. That result was so inevitable that it dos not hurt the way it should and anyone watching the way Chelsea walked through us last week should not be surprised.
Not sure that he can do much about it at this stage. He has a couple of weeks to get us back on some kind of track but it is not likely at this stage.I would agree to write off the entire season if in the interests of team building we sacrificed the present for the future but to be honest it's hard to see how this type of football can hack it in the PL.A lot of talk is about trying to get new players in in January I hope we don't need a new manager as Pep seems to be a proud type of guy and he might just quit.
Or maybe he will turn it around.
