Monaco - Post Match thread.

Possibly because we were so on top at that moment it looked like there was only one winner. Who knew we'd fuck it all up from a soft set piece? We did enough to win the game despite a poor first 45. I'm tired of reading and hearing how outplayed we were by pundits everywhere. We really should have scored 4 or 5 and there would be no debate now.

But we didn't cos we don't take our chances & haven't been doing for yonks with Kun our main culprit.

We DIDNT need to score ......we needed to stop them scoring two !!

Score six and go out.....typical City.
 
It is not a disaster, a big game in the quarter finals would have been fun but we were never going to win it this year anyway. But at the same time it needs to be said that last year in CL we went out in the semis 0-1 over two legs against the eventual winners. This seasons CL campaign has been a failure not a learning process.

We are not a "project" anymore, over the last five years City has been one of the two strongest English teams every year. Every champions league season until this year has been a step forward. Now we are out of Champions League and ten points behind Chelsea in the league. I don't think I am the only one who had expected more out of this season.

I still believe Pep will take the club to the next level but he should be judged by his results at City not by his past victories. A comfortable top three finish in the league and a FA Cup win will make me happy. Then roll on next season with no excuses.

We were never gonna stop them scoring with our defence...and yes we didn't score but should have. Onwards and upwards.
 
Wonder what odds you could have got ,for us NOT to have a shot at goal for the entire first half. Fucking dire performance.

My only issue with last night is how we let them overrun us like that in the first half. Pep 100 percent would have warned the players what to expect it's not as if we have players who aren't used to such occasions. I can accept teams playing better than us but not being able to keep the ball more than 3/4 passes or showing no desire to win the ball back isn't acceptable. Second half showed what were about but the damage was done. Reading the comments on here and how disappointed everybody is about not qualifying is a massive compliment to the job pep has done so far let's not forget the majority of this team is the same team that only just scraped 4th place last season more through luck than anything else. A squad that has been on the decline for a few seasons. Pep has come in and added some brilliantly talented young stars to the team and before kick off last night we were still in the champs league, semi final on the horizon in the fa and joint 2nd in the league. He knows what needs to be done and he will do it! Of that I have no doubt.

No intensity,passion,leadership or ownership,pre requisites in Elite teams. Think the All Blacks.

Love Dave but under yesterday's circumstances & when he's struggling with his own game,he Doesn't lead the team in the way tha a VK would.

We don't have a natural captain in VKs absence but that doesn't excuse a gutless first half.
 
If it means our chances of beating Arsenal in the semi are improved it might be a blessing in disguise going out last night. We have a better chance of winning a domestic trophy.

Onwards and upwards.
 
We all knew this was going to be a bit of a transitional season as Pep looked at the squad and tried to implement his way of playing on it, but that considered it has still been frustrating. A little like Pellegrini constantly saying, '' We play this way always'' when as fans we could all see just a bit of tweaking and we would win more games, a fact he twigged in the end when we won the title, Pep is doing the same.

Whatever is happening with the style and the defence hasn't really worked all season with the personnel we have at the moment. Considering most of them will be replaced next season why persist with a style they struggle with? If we win the FA Cup and finish higher in the league than last season it will probably be considered a reasonable one, but it would still tempered with '' What if? '' for me.
