OK, let's be realistic

You can want change and not be entitled.

It's not black or white.

People should be respected regardless of their opinions. We are all blues.

Of course, when it’s reasonable.

I won’t respect stuff like this though:

Were supposed to all be Blues in it together, including with our attitude towards our players. We should be appreciating them for their achievements at their best and respectful to them when they’re at their worst because it’s not like they’re doing it on purpose, they don’t need kicking when they’re down.

However some of the responses on the Match Day Forum were truly shocking and the word "toxic" springs to mind.
Yes its like this on every match day but some people just cant understand why it should/could be happening to us.

It’s like that when we win 5-0 to be fair. Never been a nice place.

Every time I read someone still trying to find some justification for this mini-Armageddon, this comes to mind! This is not fecking normal, imagine Amazon or Netflix were doing programs on us this season, pure gold!

Put it this way. It happens. It's never happened to Pep, not even close. That said, his other two clubs have been Barcelona and Bayern, both in leagues where for years and indeed for decades one (or two) club wins the league or finishes second. Nobody else seriously challenges. And he stayed a much shorter period with both. But it's new for him, and it has to be getting to him.
I can envision a finish as low as eighth or ninth. It wouldn't surprise me all that much. The only question that then interests me is how do the club, how does Pep, how does Viana, how do the owners, regroup? Losing is one thing. Losing out on a season, even. Had to happen, and I'm fairly philosophical about it. The only question to me is how do you react to losing? It would not surprise me if one year from now we were cheering Pep and the players to the rafters.
Meanwhile, moan all we like, we have to stay with the team, with the club, if we are City supporters.

I would genuinely prefer a finish of low top half and miss out on Europa League and Europa Conference and build for the PL title without Europe like Chelsea did when they won the title in 2016-17 after finishing 10th as Champions the season before.

Last summers window was the catalyst for me, a dire effort with a measly 20m spent on a winger we didn't really need. We all thought Gundo coming back was a masterstroke but it's not paid off at all, he looks finished tbqh. But we needed more and for whatever reason we decided that would do, we all knew it wasn't enough but the powers that be saw different. It really has come back to bite us

I never thought bringing gungon was a fucking masterstroke thank you!

Lost me when I saw no paragraphs being used.

I can't even spell paragraff so I'm out.

Is the main problem to our injuries !!!!! If you read my whole post I give multiple instances !!

Would Rodri solve the 25 goals and assists that Alvarez contributed?
Would he fill in for the goals and assists of Mahrez, who we never truly replaced
Would he solve our left back problem?
Would he solve our right back problem?
Would he solve the ageing and injury prone KDB problem?

So the answer is that our main problem is not replacing top quality players with other top quality players and we've let the ones who were once good enough, get too old to contribute

United went from 1st to 7th is that where we’re headed?

 

[bondsman]

I’d love to know why we are persisting with a high line with defenders that can’t run. That at least could be fixed.
