We did but I think some of it had to do with us being tired. Sane and aguero have started for at least five or six games im sure

or all of these poor team selection and tactic + situation at Barca <-- Pep's exit strategy?
Nope not with Barcelona's current board.

Don't you think we should have been more solid in cm from the off? Monaco needed goals, we played into their hands.

but doesnt that highlight our poor squad depth? We have Navas and Nolito after Sane and Sterling. The drop in quality is way too big.We did but I think some of it had to do with us being tired. Sane and aguero have started for at least five or six games im sure
Wasn't Fernandinho an attacking midfielder for Shaktar? I remember watching him a couple of times for them bursting forward and thinking "wow what a player". We've bought him and tried to turn him in to a Busquets but it's been clear for ages he's no good in the centre. Not unless he has yaya to hold his hand, to be fair it seems as though yaya holds the whole teams hands when he plays.

No, I do think we will strengthen the defence this summer. We have to. It's been obvious for 2 or 3 years. And my post was actually defending Pep due to the limitations of squad he's forced to wrk with. If we want to be a top level European club we currently (this summer) need a minimum of:Well in that case what a fantastic job he is doing.
We'd have won that game with Jesus. You stress all the negatives and forget that out of all the English teams, our prospects look brighter than any because we have got two genuinely world class players in Sane and Jesus whereas Arsenal have one, Chelsea have one and the rest of the league none.
You think City wont strengthen defensively this Summer. Of course we will and then you know what will happen
1x Goalkeeper (arguably 2 - 1 first choice and 1 quality 'reserve' if Willy moves on)
3x full backs (1 for each side and another as cover)
2x centre backs (to replace Vinny and another as back up with Otamendi)
2x centre mids (Yaya getting older, ditto Silva, ditto Dinho)
2x forwards (cover for Jesus and Aguero as Jesus is too young to play 60+ games and Sergio gets injured a lot).
That's this summer if we want to give our manager the best chance to compete. Not to mention possible cover for players who may leave like Delph perhaps.
To wait years for Pep and then tie his hands behind his back like we have is verging on criminal.
Nolito is a very good player he's just not getting game time.but doesnt that highlight our poor squad depth? We have Navas and Nolito after Sane and Sterling. The drop in quality is way too big.

They would of still out run us in that first half, even with us being defensive. Our whole attitude stank in that first half.

we struggle against teams that press well like we did to lester, pool, tottenham, celtic
Agreed Monaco jumped all over us and we didn't/couldn't respondThey would of still out run us in that first half, even with us being defensive. Our whole attitude stank in that first half.
