For me, what was obvious is that Barca had 11 men playing as a team, each with a will and desire to work as a unit. We on the other hand, had 11, not playing as a full team, with two or three preferring to do their own thing.
It must be totally demoralising for the manager and others on the pitch when you are carrying players in such an important match, players who think they have a divine right to play.
I’m convinced there are two or three bad apples in the camp and they are slowly dragging their team mates and City down, and they need to be shipped out ASAP, even at a financial loss, if only to restore harmony and get a team that want to play as a team.
Our new signings haven’t exactly shone thus far. There not shite players and must be wondering what the hell is going on at City. Again, I put it down to the one or two bad apples not performing with the rest of the team, not allowing these new players to thrive in a team oriented environment.
We all have a view as to who these bad apples are, but our views don’t count. Pellers and the board will know exactly who these culprits are, and hopefully will show them the door this summer. Personally, I hope they don’t play again in Blue, but that’s just my way.
If we are to compete in Europe, we need a team, not half a team and a bunch of individuals making up the 11.
