What he f*ck is wrong with Phil ? Second best to everything and not even reacting , something going on there behind the scenes , he's a blue through and through and what he is doing in our shirt tonight is unacceptable

Pep has brought more success to City than we could ever have dreamed, but he can't win with some of you lot.

Playing this side to prioritise the derby was the right decision and the people suggesting we bring on Haaland and KDB early are out of their fucking minds.

Nobody wants to go out in this game, but the Rags game is vastly, vastly more important and Pep was right to rest our best for it.

Think we all agree but we expect whoever plays to put in some effort….

All starting from the back, Gomez off, get Akanji on, move Walker/Cancelo to normal positions.

 

[theres only one carlito]

It starts with Pep.

Sends out a team that we already know means Walker will be abysmal at centre back.

Gomez and Phillips have been horrific.

Despite some huff and puff from Foden and Grealish, the rest is the usual passive shit.

No doubt we will bring on the big guns and someone will now get hurt trying to bring us back in to it.

We miss Zin so much in the build up.

It definitely does start with Pep. He’s not making the right calls a lot recently and I’m starting to think he’s his own enemy at the moment.

Gomez wouldn't even make Girona's first team shouldn't be anywhere near our squad

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

I’ve been surprised by had bad Foden has been. Bad first touches, turning back, misplaced passes. Having said that, those around him haven’t been any better

 

[chaddblue]

Worst 45 mins I’ve seen in years. Any one of the 11 could be dragged off and they couldn’t complain

If he doesn’t make at least 2 subs at half time it tells me he doesn’t care about this competition cos there’s no chance those 11 will get us back into the game

 

[Mariosfireworks]

2nd half I'd go...
...................Ortega..................
Lewis Akanji Laporte Cancelo
..... Bernardo Rodri Foden .....
Palmer ...Haaland ......Alvarez

We need to win the midfield and we can't trust the defense.

Palmer would be off for me, done sweet FA again

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

This KP guy looks garbage. He looked lost when he came on at Chelsea. Didn’t look like a good signing at the time.

 

[Bigga]

Id take off Gomez, Phillips, Cancelo and Palmer off.

Get Akanji, De Bruyne, Bernardo and Haaland on and go 3-5-2

Philips is fine.

The rest I agree with, but I'd put Foden as a sub off too. He's out of form,despite his goal, the other day.
