We are playing like a side looking to secure a top 6 finish.

And it is on Pep.

We should have beat them today.

how is it on pep when our players do not finish chances? We should have been up 3-1 easy... can’t blame pep for that.

New midfielder needed. Pep won’t play foden or Bernie in that role so we need to replace Gundo. Each week we see the same problems. If he won’t play either of the 2 players mentioned a new cm is badly needed now.

Should have signed Aouar.
 
Should have won 3 - 1. Apart from the first 25 minutes we were dominant. On the plus side, our defence is 100 per cent better than last season. We'll be back in the top four in a few weeks.

Lot of exaggeration on here. We go for it and they likely break and score like they have done to us before.

media narrative seems to be they were “robbed” by the handball decision. Notwithstanding the fact it was a handball all day long under the old rules, the penalty was missed and had no bearing on the game whatsoever.

Agree liverpool wanted us to come onto them so they could play their counter attacking game. We didnt allow them to play their game, we tried to get them to come out and they didnt. We allowed them time on the ball and they looked a little losted. Another day and we would have got a winner, but if we had lost that would have been alot worse than this draw.
Long way to go and who even knows if the season will be finished !!
 
We miss Sane. Maybe we need another attacking midfielder with lots of pace and flair. We do look quite pedestrian at times. I still believe City won’t be far away at the end of the season. I can’t help thinking Messi in January could transform the squad. He was a sub yesterday and came on to win the game for Barca!
Maybe I am dreaming lol.
 
Nothing in midfield with gundo and rodri hiding behind pool players as dias and laporte looking for an out ball
sometimes with their back to play frightened to ask for the ball.
slow side to side seems to be the norm these days.gabby, cancelo, and defence played well apart from that
we look spent.And foden? whats going on there?
We are half the team from last few years
top 4 beckons on this form

People were taking about evolution, he’s doing that and rebuilding, starting like any top manager would, from the back...

it is a top class left back away from being as good as anything in Europe... we’ve genuinely just been spoilt with our attacking exploits over the last 3 years, he’s tweaking it to counter how teams invariably gain success against us.....

Any good manager, be it in McDonald’s or transferable to sport, reacts to a cause of lack of productivity, yet he’s being hammered for evolving... this is 2017 all over again, he’s laying the foundation for the long game!

Thank fool for some common sense . Can’t stand going to match day threads or Post match. Spoilt b**tards brigade!.
We’re slowly getting players back and fitness levels to normal levels. We’re in a good position If we win our game in hand. Defence is looking miles better. Just need to find the high notes again going forward ! If we can avoid major injuries were only going to get stronger . Have faith FFS.

I really really think Sterling (and Mahrez) should be benched the next game. I hope Pep make sure they know this is unacceptable. They both are too wasteful. We’re supposed to be one of the best teams in the world. This is kids playing, getting a brainfreeze every goddamn time.

I’m so sick of seeing him wasting big chances, week in and week out. When will it stop?

The club can’t possibly be serious about handing him 3-400k a week. He is nowhere near close enough to deserve that. That’s basically the club saying ”keep going Sterling, it’s OK you’re wasting 3-4 chances every game. From time to time, you score.”

We are definitely not at our best as yet this season and some decisions by Pep seem to have little reasoning at times, but apart from the first 20 or so minutes we controlled the game and on another day would of won quite easily (missed penalty aside), we will hit form at some point this season, have a feeling it will coincide with KDB hitting form.

Anyhow, something has to be done about the match day forum, absolutely infested with fùckwits and an embarrassment, and from actual City fans, everyone is entitled to their opinion of course but many post the same abject bollocks week after week, no matter if we are winning or losing, honestly can’t see the point in it.

not just the match thread, bluemoon is littered with people talking absolute shite, but nowadays it seems bluemoon is all about quantity rather than quality
 
If we can't take pens in the new VAR era then you're not going to win the league...

We should've won that today.

If Pep performed better the penalty miss could have been a total irrelevance to the result.

Can we just think through how fucking stupid that is?

In a game against the best side in the country, Pep is only doing his job right if we can win so easily that players missing easy goals is totally irrelevant?

What fucking planet are you on? Football is a game where there's 3 goals a game on average. When your captain can't hit the target from 12 yards out, it is going to effect the likelihood of you winning.

Good news: we seem to have built a reliable back-four now.

Bad news: I never thought I'd say this about a Pep team, but we need that defence, because the energy levels going forward have really dropped.

it is the energy levels In the middle of the park. Not the front press. It is also a humongous lack of energy in transitional phases of play, like counter attacks. You can’t play two metronome style players in the premiere league next to each other. Especially ones that aren’t very mobile.

One is fine but just not two together.
 
Tracking back said:
Unfortunately that doesn't apply to us.

It's regarded as a moral victory to the other 19 teams in the league when they take points off us.

Teams turn up when they play us regardless of our position in the league.

The broadcasting media will give us far more shit for being in the bottom half of the league than they will our inferior neighbours the rags.

Nah we're not relevant enough. The second they think we're out of it they'll ignore us. The media will be hammering home how crap we are and I think other teams will buy it, especially after how we started the season.

The bigger issue is how utterly predictable the play always is...pep stated his job is done when the players get to teh final third, this is where i find us to be really weak...meandering, slow, predictable, lacking flair, lacking athleticism, lacking a killer mentality. The list could go on.

How many goals have been scored recently that are not either tap ins or free kicks? Gabbys today was a breath of fresh air for that reason, as he tried something and it came off.

Maybe the attacking training is not up to snuff? Too rigid and one dimensional...its something that goes way back with us, because i was saying teh same thing under previous managers.
