Why does Laporte keep making these mistakes in the Champs league Quarter final he doesn’t seem to do it any ofther time. The Raz miss that day was, well what can you says, unbelievable. My problem was with Peps team selection and formation. Why on earth was he so concerned about a team that was seventh in France after just knocking out the champions of Spain. Pep is a fantastic manager, the best we have ever had, 99 percent of the time he gets it right let’s hope he has learned from this, I’m sure he will.As bad as Lyon was it took Laporte to have his worst brainfart since Spurs at home in the CL and a miss of the century from Raheem to send us out.
So I entirely agree that we should have just gone for it, but he was concerned about us getting counter attacked against pacy fowards as we'd done against multiple teams that season.Why does Laporte keep making these mistakes in the Champs league Quarter final he doesn’t seem to do it any ofther time.

Sucks the run had to end. It hurts like hell to have it ended by them lot. On the flipside though, at present, they can only dream of having a 21 games winning streak.On perspective City were going to lose at some point.
City have been on a fantastic winning run absolutely fucking amazing run. A run I could only have dreamt of.
Best run club the the world.
Best manager in the world.
In perspective it was just one game.
But way oh way did it have to be those twats from Trafford that stop us !
Why did he pick Garcia , he is as slow as Sunday. I think we should leave that game now and try and stop looking back at it. Onwards and upwards.So I entirely agree that we should have just gone for it, but he was concerned about us getting counter attacked against pacy fowards as we'd done against multiple teams that season.
Mad isn’t it. I honestly get so annoyed at some of the comments, especially the really self entitled ones. I was prepared to go through my life without seeing us win anything. I was 36 when we won the cup (2 when we won the league cup but can’t remember that) and then when we won the league I would have been happy to have never won anything else. So anything is a bonus for me from now on, I am happy for us to play attacking football - any cups / leagues are just icing on the cherry on the cake. We have the best ever English team - we have broken all the important English domestic records, done a unique domestic treble, scored 100 points in a season yet here we are with keyboard warriors spitting out their dummies and acting like Rags. It’s beggars beliefWere some people actually calling for Pep to go? Really?
Well, someone had to say it!The problem is that this forum is filled with over achievers - billionaires, world renowned philanthropists, CEOs, truly the apex of humanity. So it's only fair that the standards expected from Pep are so exacting. Have to win 37 out of 38 games. The one game we lose must be lost in an exhilarating fashion. Have to consistently win derbies and big matches 4-0 or it's a disgrace.
I'm not a fan, I've never been a fan. Every time a match starts, I take out my clipboard with numbers and minute by minute I note how many times Kevin shat the bed and Mahrez bottled it. At the end of the 90 minutes, I submit my match report and that concludes my job as a supporter. It's a tough job, maybe the toughest ever. It's infuriating watching 11 cowards and incompetent fucks not be able to do their jobs to perfection every 3 days for 5 months in row. Imagine having the temerity of not doing what I want every second. I expect the highest levels from myself, my family and friends and so I expect the same from everyone else in the universe. Empathy is a word made up by losers to justify their failures.
I'm entitled to a 5-0 win every 3 days and it's not a particularly big ask. I'm not asking for the impossible.
I'm preaching to the choir here but the biggest problem with this club is that Pep is a massive rag, masquerading as a blue. Joe Mercer would have sawed off his mouth than smile after a derby loss. Everything Pep has done until now is to destabilize Man City. It's not the 70s anymore, players just don't get derbies. Back then, city players would tear their ACL on the pitch rather than concede a goal. This is also why pre-takeover we won every single derby.
Can't wait to buy better players and a truly great coach who can win 38/38 games. Anything less is pathetic and deserves 4000 pages of scorn, contempt and an analysis at the molecular level so that it doesn't happen again.
