I haven’t been so disappointed about a game for a while, that was totally u acceptable.
We STILL haven’t figured out how to play against a 5-4-1 formation.
We STILL wait for teams to get themselves organised BEFORE we consider going forward.
We STILL spunk away chance after chance after chance.
We are NOT able to defend at all! Newcastle looked more like scoring when coming forward than we did.
We are great at passing the ball sideways and backwards. WELL DONE!
No fault with the officials today, we only have ourselves to blame.

Nothing at all positive came out of that game in my opinion, except that Mendy has proved he should never play for us again unless he improves 200%.

Bernardo after he came on, and Sterling didn't do any better out wide.

Thing is if Sterling had put his foot through that chance at the end we'd have all been saying what a 2nd half. I thought we were OK in the 2nd half. Newcastle defended well and got lucky going forward. 2 shots, 2 goals.

Therein lies the problem, teams only need one chance,a breakaway, free kick or a bit of luck and suddenly it's uphill again.

Its not about luck though.....defensively we are poor - 2 goals from 2 shots tells you that...and its a repeated patterm. Now we know the way Pep sets up this is a weakness you have to accept as its a weakness in the wya he plays which is usually hugely outweighed by the way his teams retain possession and attack - however we are doing neither of these well either

If Sterling had scored or KDB's goal had been the winner it would have just papered over the big cracks and another very average performance....

please please please people get behind the team and don't blow and start to sound like glory hunters but keep the faith
the damage was done by the officials and VAR this season and maybe enough was enough and let them have it attitude has gotta into this team. something not right and from pep to the players the hunger and willingness and fight has gone from this team, and add the injuries and asking players to cover long term was to much

yes we can moan like fuck and not be happy about today, but we know there is still a lot football to be played and champions league break and transfer window and the new year could be a great year in europe and cups, i will never stop defending manchester city and what we have been treated to over the last ten years is special and you can not win the league every season

the hurt comes from the dodgy officials and VAR this season and not from the players or manager or city its the backing of liverpool football club in giving them the help that is needed to beat this great manchester city side is so clear and VAR has given them the title from day one, watching the game today was hard in seeing the pain on the players and pep faces ?? also the body language is clear ? there are not enjoying playing in the premier league the war is over knowing you are being done over and the better team does not win all the time and is hard to take

be very proud of what we have done over the last 2 seasons and don't become one of them moaning fuckers over the road or them in london with arsenal and spurs. dust yourself down and we got again next week THIS IS MANCHESTER CITY DRINK IT IN

Sorry mate, but Norwich, Wolves and today were not affected by VAR. I said it the other day, but 1 point from them three games is a fair return considering how we played. We do not have the ability to play poor and grab the win.
