It's our lack of a strong leader - lose Rodri we are fucked..like little babies out there. With Rodri everyone tries harder - I bet he's thinking..just won the world's best player award and I carry this team.

He should use it to demand a massive fucking pay rise

 

[deano ou812]

Sporting are average too

They are,but totally deserve this result for the way City started the second half which was a disgrace..

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Fuck that. Dig up Alan Ball.

Stop it you're frightening me.

 

[eyalluvitt]

These officials are at it , phantom offside no 42

 

[VOOMER]

Walker..Dias.. Stones....Ake...all injured or partially injured mate No Rodri. No KDB. No Grealish. no Bobb. Etc

Look at the ages and injury record's. WE NEED TO SIGN REPLACEMENTS NOT SQUAD PLAYERS!

 

[I'm Blue]

All on Guardiola this

It really isn’t.
Missed chances, the game should’ve been out of sight by halftime.
Our midfield and defenders are defending like a bunch of kids this season.
I’d say Sunday league but in all honesty they’d put some crunching tackles in.

 

[come-on-barney]

Look at all the players faces on the bench, they are absolutely gutted. Something not right and not just injuries, although they play a good part.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

What the hell did Pep say to the players at half-time?

 

[chesterbells]

All on Guardiola this

The players aren’t pre-programmed robots. You can’t completely absolve them of any responsibility at all. They make their own choices on the pitch.

 

[threespires]

Time for reflection and get back to basics.

Start with a settled back 4 if possible and build from that point.

No point crying, let’s see what we are made of.

The answer to that question would appear to be talcum powder and unset jelly at the moment.

 

[Gorbachev]

Mentality of this team has gone definitely!

I think they know in my opinion Pep is off end of the season.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

We miss Rodri in the changing room too, not just on the pitch. We’ve all seen the documentaries. When we’re in trouble he fucking fires everyone up and drags them kicking and screaming out of it. Without him I can totally envisage it being too quiet.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Mentality of this team has gone definitely!

Don't talk shit

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Crisis? What crisis?

 

[MMA]

Maybe it’s a decision from Pep? That he has to play like that? Like the excuse when Lewis plays tuckin shit and Grealish doesn’t score?

Erl in his first season was "everywhere" all action..

Not seen it since.

 

[madloaf]

In private he'll probably let rip.

At himself hopefully.

 

[RiversideBlue]

We've been schooled tonight by a coach who's playing a much more modern and exciting style of football. Put Haaland up front for these and he would have scored 5 tonight.

Let's see how good a coach he is when he has to manage that shower of shit in a few weeks

 

[argyle]

Need a new CB in the summer as Stones just cannot be relied upon to stay fit.

 

[jimharri]

He never gave ours ,VAR did

Same difference. It was given. And we fucked it up. They didn't.

 

[Beanhead]

This really is making Real’s hissy fit about Rodri winning the balon’Dor more ridiculous with every passing game.
