As said last week, huge decision for the club to make on Foden this summer.

Nowhere near reaching the level he couldve at this point, and nowhere near the mentality required to get there.

Bit over the top

 

[Chippy_boy]

How fucking depressing. Just got in to hear this.

I knew I'd miss the game today but thought never mind, certain 3 points and can look forward to the highlights later.

Depressing.

If we play that way the rest of the season we win the title. We are not going to miss those chances the rest of the season

 

[city warrior]

The rest of the 88mins they were crap. Cooper knew it so he made changes and they scored, is that not good?

If it makes you feel better, Forest didn't create 10 chances, doesn't mean they didn't attack Bernardo. They didn't need 10 either, just 1.

So your idea of a good manager is someone who makes changes...that says it all. Again you are incapable of giving even one example where Bernardo was suffering. So we were much better for 88 min, but Pep was outcoached. Your logic...

 

[Manc123]

Shit result. However some perspective if youd have offered me 4 points from arsenal away and forest away id have taken it before a ball was kicked.

Our finishing today is what let us down. We often have these performances in the season even last year it was southampton and palace away..

move on many more games to play. Trophy isnt given out in february.

 

[Blue Coop]

No idea how we didn’t win that…

 

[mancityscot]

After Wednesday and then Arsenal fluking it late on, that can only be described as a massive bottle job. Identical game to Villa away.
Not sure this group has the balls or the bottle anymore

felt like we had the bottle in the arsenal game, then we go and actually bottle it today. This team is just far too inconsistent, and i fear plenty more dropped points to come.

 

[super_city_si]

Sublime to the ridculous at the moment , he looks knackered for at least 50% of our games , and agree he needs a good break from the game in May , he isnt getting any younger.

Not even just physically, i think he needs a proper switch off. Hope there are no stupid internationals.

 

[nellyonthewing]

If I didn't know better?? I'd swear Pep has put £50 on the Rags for the Title.

 

[citytill1die84]

Ederson's decision making is fucking atrocious, by the way. How many goals do we concede like that where he doesn't get anywhere near the ball, but leaves himself in no mans land and gives the striker a tap in? Stay on your line and give us a fucking chance.

Nobody can doubt his importance to the way we build from the back, but in all other areas of the game he's simply not good enough for a team that wants to win the biggest prizes, and the kicker is, he's getting worse with every passing season.

Bring Ortega in for a few games. Time to show Eddy he isn't irreplaceable.

How the fuck do u blame Ederson for that goal? He's over 6 foot tall not wide ffs

 

[Mr Edward's shoe mirror]

When we got to their box it was always a case of start fucking about, over complicating it, one touch too many every time, or the wrong option .Bernado put his laces through the Ball,i wish others would try this with a bank of 10 players defending.

This is our Achilles Heal when we play shite sides intent only on defending.

They let us have the Ball, then we play in to their hands by reverting to a slow pass,pass,pass,game trying to walk the Ball in to the Net.

We should be more direct get a couple of goals ahead and force the opposition to change style .

We had only 36% possession against Arsenal but were more direct.

We fall in to a trap of focusing only on possession Ball

Their game plan 11 Behind the Ball for 80 minutes, hopefully we keep it 0-0,or 0-1 then go for it the last 10 minutes.

Lots of players put their laces through the ball, just that the shooting was way off today.

You'll never see Kevin have 6 shots from outside the D and all of them off target.

Or Haaland miss from 6 yards out. Or find himself clean through on goal only to go down after a tap on the shoulder.

Or Foden to be 1 on 1 with the keeper only to spontaneously collapse in a heap.

Or Rodri with a free header that he puts wide.

23 shots doesn't indicate that the team wasn't trying, just a bad day at the office.

 

[swblue7]

Once they made their subs to push for the goal, Pep should have immediately moved to put Ake on. Take off KDB and move Bernardo to Kevin’s role.

There isn’t a finger to point at todays result though. You could go down the starting XI and list an almost half the roster that had horrid moments. Laporte, Rodri, Haaland, Foden, and KDB all had opportunities to put this game away.

That would have been my call

 

[TFC]

Thought we'd turned a corner, but apparently we are stuck on a roundabout.

Got to say i have to agree. Nothing to do with today’s goal either. Been going on far to long and happens too often

 

[TonyM]

Poor decision making by the players and by Pep.

 

[willipp]

Proper fucked me right off that has. Should know better.

Yeah we all feel the same mate, never mind. CTID.

 

[Damien10]

What’s our win ratio with the Rodri Gundo And Kevin midfield trio. Anyone got it?

 

[super_city_si]

Yep. Teams don't appear to have to morph into Barca 2011 to create chances against us. If a side scores against you after a move of technical brilliance, you can hold your hands up, and give credit where it's due. That's not the case at this moment in time. Like you said, we give up easy goals.

I thought dias back would fix that, but we just cant afford to go in to the last 10 with a 1 goal lead. Its a real problem.

Liverpool at home springs to mind….that last minute sky rocket by Mahrez to win it
