All on Mendy that

 

[Eccles Blue]

I don't think the lads hearts are in it tonite

Maybe they’ve heard the love fest for that load of bins! So they’ve gone the opposite way to the way I’d be! They need to get some pride in themselves and show the media and everyone else we are City. We fight to the end, The boys in Blue never give in!

Sterling anonymous.
Shit defending and can someone please shoot fucking Glen Hoddle hes a ****.

 

[ID70]

We don't want full backs who can 'defend' though do we. We want full backs who offer a threat going forwards.

But we have enough attacking threat from the forwards and midfield anyway, otherwise just play Sterling, Mahrez or somebody there if it’s not important how they defend

 

[ken tali]

I think any player can make that sort of mistake considering the situation at the moment. He was pretty good his first game back and has put some decent crosses in tonight too.

Actually he made two mistakes there, pass and then making a stupid tackle to let opponent go 1vs1

 

[WallyA]

Gundogan and Rodri seems redundant imo. Play one or the other not both, neither can take the ball and go forward like Kevin or Phil.

It's really weird, but like we really need Phil Foden.

You do know he'll score the winner now?

I can`t see us even scoring an equaliser to be honest.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Get Coleton Palmer on now sort this shitshow out pep!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He's played very well on the whole and just had a communication breakdown with Gundogan, pretty much the kind of stupid error youd expect after 3 months off.

It doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things, he'll be judged at the end of the season by Pep & co. with regards to being good enough to be the LB.

I wouldn’t expect that kind of error after a year off, never mind 3 months. And let’s not pretend he made one error there, he follows it up by dangling a leg in and completely selling himself. He should have been staying with Pulisic, allowing support to get back. Yet he gift wraps a clear run at goal. People need to stop finding excuses for him. After several years, there no longer are any.

Mendy is atrocious He has never ever convinced me that he is good enough..not before his injury and not since. They guy cannot defend.

Gundogan has got to be one of he slowest midfielders ive seen running back towards is own goal since Paul Bosvelt and Gary Megson!

I serioulsy hope both are gone soon but I cant see Pep doing it as he seems to have a real thing for Gundogan esp

We signed Mendy from a team who we’d just scored 5 against
