Jesus and Gundo off, Mahrez and Bernardo on. Love how hard Jesus works, but the lad is not good enough. Need Bernardo in there to match Southamptons work rate.

More chance of me sleeping with taylor swift then pep making changes

Really miss Dias and a prime Fernandinho.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Hes starting to shoehorn Gundogan alongside Rodri once again. No wonder we are looking dogshit

Have you been in a coma for the last 18 months? If anyone is being shoehorned in it's Kevin.

We haven’t been great but the BBC coverage is outrageous - full on Southampton cheerleading - no other club would have to put up with this.

We`re playing shit and thats all you can think about !!
FFS get a life.

Am I watching the same game? Didn't Gundogan hit the post when it was easier to score? At 0-2 the game would have been over. We need the chasing of Bernardo & Foden after 60 minutes.

That was one of the most ridiculous things I've read on here. When City fans themselves put down the Centurions and Formidables, we can't complain when media doesn't praise that side.

We have become so obsessed with possession based football that sometimes it’s like we have forgotten what the aim of the game is.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not been good for weeks now. This is why we may well win jack shit this year. Our playing out from the back has been dire. The Leicester game was a bit of an omen...

The international break killed our momentum.

Constant mistakes at the back leading to problems. Wayward passing or shit defending.

Has been for a number of games.

The defence including Steffen look like they don’t know what the plan is.
Have they been introduced to each other. Poor decision making and passing and half asleep.

The number of times the midfield have played it back to defence unnecessarily though putting them under pressure.

We are more than capable of upping it and scoring another couple but this isn’t a one off performance which is the real worry.

 

[Blue and true]

We have no world class focal point and Christ Almighty it shows. My heart says we'll win the treble but my head is telling me I'm an idiot for feeling this way. We're going to replace Serg a season too late, I just hope we don't rue that negligence.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

He had plenty of time to get the ball. Like an old man shooing chickens round a fucking yard.

That’s what it reminded me of, Louis Dega at the end in Papillon :)
