Poor Poor performance from the team and manager as a collective, but as they say you must learn from your mistakes so hopefully all do.
We knew before this game we need strengthening in the summer in defence and keeper and this game just highlighted this even more so.
Issue last night though was the lack of protection again from the midfield.
Mancini era ????You're wrong - and certainly don't speak for me.
Pep's had ONE window - the problems above relate to the Pelle & Mancine eras. But you blamed Pep in your earlier post & said he'd been found out. Give him some time like fans at other nearby clubs give their new managers
Last night was poor from Guardiola and some individual players but it's been the work of the previous manager and Begiristain that sees the state of our squad that also contributed to us going out last night.At the end of the day there are several players in that team last night who would struggle to get games for West Ham.
You don't win games like that in the Champions League when that happens.

Well said. Top response. Unlike some on here mate YOU are a BLUE who knows what he's talking about - understands football & doesn't have a stupid childish knee jerk reaction.
Much like the rest of your post, this is a ridiculous overreaction. He's had a few poor games in a row now, but it's March and he has 10 assists (our best), 5 goals and makes 5 key passes leading to goal scoring opportunities per game, among the best in Europe.
Really? Well I watch games with my eyes on a pitch not on paper and I'm telling you regardless of the stats KDB has not performed this year anywhere near his best - first half last night is about the average Kevin we see.
We're second in the league, what the fuck are you talking about?
More by luck than judgment - watch our next few games and see us tumble down the league. Scousepool will muller us if we play like that.
Total bullshit, we didn't beat a top team last season at all and we've already managed it under Pep.
I didn't know beating fellow top 4 teams was a marker of a good side. Leicester must be doing well this year then?
He's made players like Silva and Sterling, who were horrendous last season, much, much better.
Has he?
lol nah. Pellers was around not that long ago, or have you forgotten how we limped to fourth on goal difference with some of the most shockingly drab performances we've seen post-take over?
Mancini had prime Aguero who wasn't missing sitters like he's been doing all season, but I'd still argue that Sane-Jesus-Sterling make for some of the most exciting football I've seen this side of Barcelona.
He's had one window and Txiki didn't get the people he wanted?
We've had 3 years of planning for this guy and no one mentioned improving our aging midget of a team? I though he watched all games and was fully up to speed when he got here? It certainly doesn't look like it now.
The club supports him, why don't you?
I do but when something needs addressing I'll address it. We've papered over the cracks since RM left and peps done nothing to address it other that bring in attacking players who are kids. We need players and we needed them 4 years ago.
I'm going to be starting the Guardiola song a lot on Sunday at the Etihad, just for you. <3
As I said earlier the Jan window is s dead loss -
I refer you to my previous answer. It's still fuck off.
And you absolutely didn't come along 'nicely' to discuss anything after the 1st leg. You came to chat patronising shit about how poor you'd been and how under strength you'd been and how we'd underestimated you and all manner of other one eyed bollocks. If you truly believe a manager as meticulous in his research as Pep would not know how good a side that has scored 124 goals this season and beat Spurs home and away is, then you're an even bigger twat than I gave you credit for. Nobody wanted you on here then, nobody wants you on here now, and yet here you are. There's only reason for that and it's because you're a smug navel-gazing bellend with little real knowledge of the game, who just wants to give himself a little stiffy by wumming and crowing.
The truth is we handed you that game on a plate last night with the team selection and set up, and once we rectified that tactical abomination at half time, you spent the 2nd half on the rack just as you did at the Etihad. Sadly it was too little too late after that car crash of an opening 45.
Whatever enjoy your little wank whilst you can. Mbappe, Bernardo Silva, Mendy, Fabinho, they'll all be gone next season.
Now do as you were told last night and fuck off.
Sounds fun. Hope your balls drop so it's not too squeaky.
