Monaco - Post Match thread.

The first half was so bad. Inferior to Monaco in all 4 elements of professional sport, physical, technical, mental and tactical.
Everyone to blame.
The season now comes down to that FA Cup semi

It might for you, and probably most supporters, but I'm sure the club will target top four ahead of the FA Cup. Just hope our performances against Dippers, Arse and Chavs don't make it an uphill task.
 
@twosips just watched the video bud. Good stuff. Been watching about 8 years now. I signed up for this stuff. Keep the vids coming.

The FA Cup is now huge, win that and top 4 and we'll have done ok, not win the cup but still finish top 4 and it'll have been a 'meh' season imo.
Miss out on top 4 completely and questions, quite rightly, will be asked of our management team at the club.

Am I right in thinking even if we finish fourth we may miss out on the CL if the Scum win the Europa?

Replacing them is not an issue. The funds will be there and a ridiculous amount of wages will be freed from the wage bill.
I would not be surprised in the slightest to see Fabinho and Mendy from Monaco to be wearing City colours next season for a start.

I admire your optimism but those doing the buying have shown poor squad management, particularly relating to our defence over the past few years. The "come and play for Pep" line of last summer got Stones (hardly difficult from Everton) when we needed at least three defenders.

Absolutely this.
We have a 2 goal lead. We only need to keep the ball,play on the break.yaya Is perfect for that. He leaves him out.
After 10 mins it's obvious it's not working,he doesn't change it . half time comes and we are still in it. He doesn't change it. We Score and now lead,good time to shore it up,he does nothing.
Sorry but this was entirely down to Pep.
Ýeh the players were poor but only can sub
them.

Genius my arse.
 
I think we should have played 2 defensive midfielders we were simply overrun and it affected our confidence. Second half showed good spirit and looked like we could do it but god knows why we defended that free kick so high up, it just played into their hands and 2 players could have headed it in.

Also last 5 mins still playing it along the back and to goalie instead of hoofing it up and fighting for second balls

Oh well and Monaco are a cracking side to be fair.

Spineless and gutless in the first half followed by mediocre finishing in the second half
Yaya should have been in there from the off if he wanted to control possession in the first half

As soon as they got the free kick I said it would be a goal, Willy doesn't defend those to well and we drop off too deep instead of attacking the ball.

There was barely a point in the match where it wasn't screaming out for yaya to come on and get control of the ball. At any point in the first half when it was clear that they were overwhelming us, early second half when we needed the goal or when we scored to take the sting out of the rest of the game. Ultimately, until we learn to defend we are going to struggle to win titles or get anywhere near winning a cl. I don't know how much difference it'll make just changing personnel if we don't place more importance on the defensive side of things. You score three we'll score four only works to a point, not sure it can really give us the consistency we need. But we'll see.
