This thread is going hit 100 pages before half time.

Cancelo and Gomez utter shit; Walker lost at centre half; Phillips totally lacking sharpness, Foden anonymous in midfield; Cole has stopped wanting to take people on…pathetic half.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Crikey. That was a bizarre half of non-football from City. It's hard to see what we are trying to achieve at 2-0 down without even looking like we have any desire to svore, never mind win. Just inexplicable. Hopefully, Pep can salvage something.

 

[skillman]

If he doesn’t make changes at half time then he’s basically saying he’s not arsed about winning

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

From one of our only good performances v Chelsea… to this.

Maybe our worst half under Pep.

Gomez abysmal. Phillips bewildered. Walker awful too.

A nightmare half.

Can someone take the lead out of Phillips boots for him, that way he might be able to move.

On the upside it's making me all nostalgic.

We look fucking hopeless, getting arse raped by some dross in a cup game, playing in a hideous neon kit, it's like I've gone into a time machine back to the late 90s. Feel like a kid again.

Sounds like my experience with the 90s as well

Absolute wank. Only positive is were only 2 down. What the fuck was the game plan? Play as slow as possible n give the ball away over and over again? Thought the reason we play slow is to control the game. Literally zero control.

I can tolerate not playing well. I can tolerate getting beat. I cannot tolerate talented highly paid professionals putting a half arsed effort in. Hope they get pasted at half time

I get the change at half time, but bring who on? de bruyne and haaland form has been patchy and mahrez is the only one playing well atm
