Bc we thought we were playing the best team in the world and went defensiveShit transfer windows and this is what can happen. Why the f wasn't Bernardo and Foden playing?

That was the Arsenal game 2.0, but actually worse.

So who is culpable:
- pep for playing three at the back and three defensive midfielders
- the referee for their second goal
- a small number of city players who save their worst performance of the season for the most important games
- Pep for leaving Bernardo and Phil on the bench
- UEFA

If the club has aspirations to actually win this competition we need a new manager.
Yes the team selection but fucking VAR again. I’d say two of their goals Would have been chalked off had it been us that scored Them and the Lack of replays and ‘proof’ afterwards just supports it.
Bayern, UEFA and Der Spiegel Couldn’t beat us in the courts but when they hold the cards and make up the rules they fucked us over.
we will never be in their club. They can fuck off.

Numerous things so wrong tonight.
1st and foremost - the original team selection. Playing a midfield 3 of Gundogan and Rodri and Ferna - we are one of the most creative sides in world football normally and Pep has a brain fart and decides to reomve all of it. 2 of them 3 together is bad enough but all 3 is shocking and it showed with zero attempts on target in the first half - we created nothing unsuprisingly. Pep is obsessed with Gundogan and its his blindspot - paired with enough legs drive and creatvity we can have gundogan in there as the water carrier but anything else and we lose so much and especially against decent teams..
The set up also nullified Kev - i can understand wanting him closer to goal but he had no supply due to the 3 midfieders beihind him....when we changed it its no surpise that he started to have an influence.
2. Not having a natural goalscorer- sterlings miss is unexplainable and its somethign he used to do but stopped and the last 2 years of so he has been deadly - but he simply should score. Jesus as well had at least 2 chances and needs to do better....the argument about Jesus being a good enough finisher has been going on so long now that it should show that we need more than him.....not saying get rid of him but he needs to be playing as part of a 3 with someone who is a natural finsiher (Kun or someone like him)
3. Defenders who cant defend - from garcia's pitiful tackle for their first to Walker playing people onside and Laporte going walkabout for the second plus Ederson inexplicably gifting them a third we need better in a couple of positions. Garcia defedned the first like he was already playing for Barcalona last night!
The second half was more like it until the shit defending and Jesus and sterlings misses happened.
Aouar looks like the imdfielder i hoped Gundogan was but isnt.
Sterling will be having sleepless nights about that miss

It’s not hard to figure out .Any Mamager who watched us against the rags this year would see how to beat us . Pep may be a ‘genius’? but Olly outwitted him with ease.
