Yeah, Cancelo acknowledging to Phil there that it was all on him.
But have to gree, Kev looked pretty off it, maybe that was down to . He did have a few breaks and was occupying space in between the lines a few takes, but he just didn't look at the races today, and a lot of others were off too much of their passing.

It wasn’t all on him. De Bruyne has a lot to answer for in that goal. That free kick was fucking abysmal.

Bottled it again at that shit hole, not 1 player can take credit today, all were average at best

I am putting this loss (our first of the season no less) firmly at the feet of Pep.

Say what you want about Joao’s mistake—and there is quite a lot to be said—but it should have never been 0-0 by that point in the first place.

The system was wrong, the tactics were wrong, and the sub (1 of 5) were wrong. Our lads generally didn’t play that well, to be sure, but I think a large part of that was down to the formation and tactics: Kev was wasted on the RW, Ilkay was unnecessary, if not actually a hinderance with his instructions, Phil seemingly being told to retain possession at all costs rather than test Milner.

Pep is a genius, and I wouldn’t swap him for any other manager in the world, but he got this one wrong.

He gets quite a lot of the big games wrong when you think about it. He's had one of the best, if not the best teams in Europe for around the last 10 years and has cocked up the CL every single year.

I've said several times that over the course of a season, he's proven that he can manage and rotate a squad better than anyone else. But in a head-to-head, must-win game, I think he's meh at best. Of course this was not a must-win game and Pep will probably just chalk it down as just one of the 38 games and 3 points lost, no big deal. But it's more than that when we play Liverpool or United and I am pretty pissed off right now, as I always am when we lose to these wankers.

Piss boiled.

All sports media turned off as the dippers are now on a comeback.

Well done on bottling it and allowing the biggest **** club that has ever walked the earth to still think the sun shines out of their arses. They had the chance to shut the most arrogant, entitled, seige mentally twats ever up and the FUCKING wasted it. Shameful. Set of weak ass cunts.

We created little . They had passion we had plodding.
Only Bernardo comes out of that with credit . They outfought us all over the pitch.

Voted for a Loss as we always shit the bed here, Pep overthinks it and we never get fair officiating as we saw again.
All on Pep this.

Cancelo should not play v the best team, awful defensively as we saw again and failure to address the left back position is costing us.
And get Kev off set pieces, he is simply awful at them most of the time. Get someone in who can actually coach us on them.

Truth is we have not been great this season, had a fairly easy run of fixtures esp at home and now dropped points at Villa, Newcastle and today after a very poor away CL performance in the week. Haalands goals have probably papered over the cracks.
Just try and stay in contention till the break and go from there

cancelo lost us the game. and thats the end of it. useless team player , stick him on the wing if he wants to gift goals every other game

 

[coolcity]

Would’ve been 3-0 if they hadn’t of brought Nunez on… he is fucking terrible.

No it wouldn't. Don't talk shite.

 

[skillman]

Exactly why I’d have taken a point. Never seen VAR suggest the ref go back 10 seconds and make a new decision on a tackle he’d let go.

Pissed right off with that. Fuming.
