I think sometimes folk forget that there are two teams on the pitch and sometimes the other team plays well enough to disrupt our performance. The second half wasn’t embarrassing or shite or negative. We played a good team, playing well but still made enough chances to win.Logic and calmness is not the strong suit of 70% of this forum. But today is just laughable. People calling our perfomance awful and the worst ever. Dominating a half, and being sloppy in the other, but still creating some good chances to win!!
City, Pep and the players deserve much better fans.
I’ve genuinely never seen the support on here be so negative towards the players and manager and I’ve posted on here for 15 years. It’s got to the point where 1-1 draws away in the CL are being treated by many as if we’ve just lost to bottom of the league. It used to be the match threads but now even the post match threads are just as bad.
People have become so accustomed to an elite football brand that anything below it is now leading to bizarre suggestions that the manager who brought that brand of football should now leave the club.
We’re 2nd in the league (2 points off top), in the 5th round of the cup (beat Chelsea & Arsenal) and in a great position to go through to the quarter finals of the CL. If I was reading some of the comments on here completely blind, I’d think we were having the season Liverpool are having. That’s the level of shit that realistically should lead to some of the comments I’ve seen on here.
You can’t be great every single year. It’s impossible. It’s why we’re the only team since 2009 to retain the title (x2) and why most managers get sacked the year after just one title is won. To win back to back titles for the second time in 5 years and to then be in our current position in the 6th year is immense.
Seriously guys, I can’t believe the absolute misery and unhappiness. If you’re so miserable now then you’re going to be in for a rude awakening when Pep eventually leaves and we have odd ‘really’ bad seasons like Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal all do. Back the manager and team because they’ll come up trump in the end. They always do and if they don’t win the big prizes, they’ll come back again and win them next year.
Edit - I expect the miserable sods to carry on their spoilt brat support act in this very thread :)
Well said, there's more people doing over the crying about the ones doing over the top crying over the actual people doing over the top crying. Winds me right up. :)That’s well over the top mate ;)
Why do you watch City? Is it for entertainment or is it to watch the team that you picked or was chosen for you beat the team that wasn't chosen for you? It's evolved over time right?I’ve genuinely never seen the support on here be so negative towards the players and manager and I’ve posted on here for 15 years.

Brilliant !! A bit of humour in a time of crisis where our beloved club has a chance of winning the league, champions league and an FA cup .Well said, there's more people doing over the crying about the ones doing over the top crying over the actual people doing over the top crying. Winds me right up. :)
Sensible and balanced highlighting a lot of genuine fan’s frustration this season.It’s not about being spoilt, it’s more out of frustration.
In previous games there’s been a real lack of energy, movement and pressing.
There’s lack of passing to Haaland.
There’s certainly a lack of substitutions.
The frustration for me comes when you watch us in that first half and see how good we actually can be, only not being able to do it for 90 minutes and consistently.
That’s the season so far, not just tonight.
I’d never judge a fan’s support during or straight after a result that doesn’t see us coming away with a win.
Fans will be angry at this time, rightly or wrongly.
Yeah a small minority might go overboard but on the whole most are just venting and giving their opinions.
It’s been a poor season so far, poor by the standards we set.
Not everyone is happy about it, understandably imo.
Fucking embarrassing mate, someone called them "entitled cunts" very apt, they aren't city fans, absolute jokeI’ve genuinely never seen the support on here be so negative towards the players and manager and I’ve posted on here for 15 years.

Bed time ...Mate people have a right to call out poor performances and poor tactical decision.
i bet you are right joy at work yes boss more boss, do one
Why do you watch City? Is it for entertainment or is it to watch the team that you picked or was chosen for you beat the team that wasn't chosen for you? It's evolved over time right?
Whether we win or lose matters the most to some, probably most people. But you want to be entertained right? You want to enjoy the spectacle? It's not JUST about the result?
Most people on here are mad, not because we're not doing well - they don't expect to win every game - we've won a lot of them this season. People are mad because we have this group of players and manager who've produced this incredible football - and weve added the best pure goalscorer in 20 years - and we're fucking turgid to watch.
Its not about "entitlement" or "spoilt" or all these words that are just bandied about because they make other people see that you are a true city fan (not you hellocity personally...but you know what i mean). Its about watching a team that could do so much better, be so much shit.
I think people on here bitching is essentially the rogue voice from the stands shouting "COME ON CITY". They want more. Don't insult their fandom. They care just like you.
