International break badly needed

Yeah half the squad will come back injured. Brilliant.

 

[SiMCFC]

Only positive was it wasn't Yesterday so didn't fuck everyone's whole weekend up!

Klopps no2 has made a massive difference NOT.

Not his fault, defence is on its arse and we’ve just handed a fashion model who’s been missing for two years another 50k per week.

 

[city2]

Shut up ffs

Why, tell me

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Pep looks lost. These up-and-coming managers are out coaching him.

I think sad as it might be, you are right.

Last week Frank said he’s analysed the ‘books’ written about pep’s style and tactics.

All of the managers know how to counter pep’s tactics now and he refuses to see it and change….or is incapable of it.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Gave offside

Fair enough didn't see that

 

[PJM1891]

For what?

Bed in a new manager.

 

[M Gaudino]

How about you fuck off and tell me how that wasn't a corner at the end?

sick of you tinfoil hat brigade on here think everyones against city

look at the list of most penalties in a season we’ve been near the top most years. refs dont have bias they just feed off home crowds and pressure sometimes

Arsene Wenger 2.0

Said this a while back. The warning signs are there!!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Powder puff limp wimps. Shocking 2nd that.

Same as last week then.
Teams take the first half to realise we're full of powder puffs around the midfield and then bully us

 

[East Level 2]

Deserved win by a team that will finish 12th.

And probably above Spurs.

 

[madloaf]

Cue the usual back and forth between people who are happy to lose because we used to win vs people who expect because we spend 300 million on players we'll get better.

 

[oddfellows]

If anyone can't see that, they are blind. We'll get absolutely reamed by any team that's half decent.

Can't wait for the Champs League.

 

[blueju]

Not his fault, defence is on its arse and we’ve just handed a fashion model who’s been missing for two years another 50k per week.

Eloquently put

 

[citymad]

This is indeed the straw that broke the camel's back IMHO.

Pep has brought us trophies beyond our wildest dreams, but it feels like his time is up, and these players, to a man, aren't good enough to get even close to the magnificence that went before.

I disagree, collectively the team is very talented, it’s our coach he doesn’t know what to do with them anymore.

Arsene Wenger 2.0

I'm afraid you're spot on.

 

[heslops barnet]

Another predictable post from a predictable poster

You’re trying to polish a turd mate, wake up and open your eyes

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Everything has a best before by date, and we’ve reached ours unfortunately.
One day left of the transfer deadline and we won’t do anything to change it.
Best football the game has ever seen has gone and we are now failing badly all over the shop, a long fucking annoying season ahead. The rags will do us again next up and I think Pep might then announce his leaving.
Thank fuck I don’t have to cancel Sky because I don’t have it. Shit weekend again.

Do you think maybe he is simply too tired to reinvent himself? He’s perfected his career at City and accomplished things no one has — to break it down and start over to re-achieve those heights is hard for anyone, even him.
