Monaco - Post Match thread.

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

What's really annoying is after we scored they looked dead on their feet, they barely came at us and we still contrived to gift them a goal by conceding a daft free kick, then defending poorly. They didn't even have to try hard to score, we were under no pressure. Amateurish. And a long way short of being a top class Euro side.

 

[flb]

It was like watching a Sunday league cup tie when it was a free for all -6 goals scored and we don't go through ! Fucking shambolic!

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

What stood out for me was a midfielder that can receive and protect the ball then pass it, as well as two young/fast full backs.

That can protect the ball and pass it ;-)

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Pathetic defending due to the team selection with one midfielder and one real center back.

If you play an attacking 1 3 1 5 formation and don't get a shot on target for the first hour it shows a massive tactical fuck.

Better luck next season without the Emperor's New Clothes manager.

Silva and de bruyne aren't midfielders... fuck me!
You genuinely dont want pep to succeed do you. Every opportunity you get to slag him off you do
just piss off

 

[gocity]

the fact is we conceded 6 goals in 2 games. in what world is that usually deemed good enough to go through

They did

Manchester City's football team is not good enough! No amount of analysis will gloss over the need for quality footballers. Tonight's defeat merely emphasises the club's need to acquire quality players, in attack, midfield and defence ( Goalkeeper included). Perhaps the current manager has already decided which players he needs, and which players need to go. To all of us fans watching this team struggle, May be offered the hope that the situation will improve. We have waited so long for our club to enjoy real sustained success, that now seems so far away, but with a little more patience, perseverance and acquisition of the aforementioned quality players, that success can indeed become a reality. City forever!!! X

It's always nothing to do with the manager isn't it ?

With a two goal lead going into the away second leg you'd think that ball retention and not getting overrun in midfield would be high on the list of priorities.

So Guardiola drops the best passer of the ball I've ever seen and doesn't even bring him on to retain possession once we'd got the aggregate lead back! Utterly bizarre!b

Plus without Yaya being deep with Fernandinho, we were swamped in midfield when Silva and de Bruyne joined an attack. 1 v 5 at times for Fern.

Hopeless tactics!

With de Bruyne deeper second half we were better but appalling composure in front of goal saw us fluff chances we should have buried to go through and NOBODY(!) was marking Bakayoko for that winner no fucker!

Poor night for City that! 5-3 up, not happy!

 

[argyle]

Pep: 'Poor first-half left us too much to do - but we will learn from this night'

Hard to believe him right now when it seems he learned fuck all from the first game.

 

[Neville Kneville]

We had a big change in football quality when Pellegrini won the league and cup double - that was at the very least the equal to what Pep produces - and he did it without the quality at Peps disposal , we failed to improve the squad and have done it again .Pellegrinis team have outscored Peps City and if I'm not proven wrong have conceded less per game aswell ?

Think we are all a bit misty eyed about Pep to be honest , he's got time on his side but this season has been bang average for me , not having this revolutionary stuff to be honest.

I think he's fantastic.

But I don't think we have the players to play the way he wants, especially at the back & we will struggle to get them imo.

But if Pellegrini or Mancini had this Aguero, no other senior strikers & no Kompany, imo neither would have finished top 4.

 

[ID70]

If we get in the 5/6 players we need will next season again be a season of transition as trying to integrate that number in to the team will be difficult, that means Pep would be under huge pressure in the 3rd season to win the big, big prizes

 

[Pell]

Can we write this one off to 'transition' as well? We love a bit of transition don't we?

Reminds me of the Arsenal mantra; "Wenger is building a team for the future". For the last 10 years.

 

[B\connellblue]

There is nothing more tired than people blaming the manager after any and every loss.

plenty raised there concerns before the game. Its not all hindsight.

 

[ID70]

If only we still had Mancini, everything would be perfect.

We wouldn't have conceded 6

I wrote this for ppl like you.

Well write it for people like me as well.


Fuck right off!!!

You wouldn't have come on here if you'd lost.

See above again

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Although originally sicked I thought I`d be more pissed off than I am

does anyone else feel the same

 

[Metalartin]

Everyone needs to look at the chances we missed, the only chance I thought they were going to score and didn't was Mbappé's first chance which Willy saved. The first chance Aguero had wouldn't have been a big deal for another striker but that's bread and butter for him even if it's hit at speed to him, Sterling could have shot but telegraphed a pass to Aguero which everyone knew was coming, Silva squared it to Kun who takes a heavy touch when he could have hit it first time, Sane had a chance too.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Amateurish management, shameful defending... oh yeah and fuck off Sterling you ****

Fuck off you rag prick.
