Bizarre interview with Yaya that BT suddenly left and apologised for doing son

Pellegrino needs fkn shooting. Taking kun off was a sacking offence on its own. Sterling, de bruyne, and otamendi scandalous. Sagna and navas get in each others way constantly. The barca boys have questions to answer too if they were responsible for this summer's balls up.

We won't beat Southampton on Saturday that's for sure.

Sad thing is that we all fear that! Southampton at home would be a tough game but one we should be confident of winning! Sad really we are dreading it with the squad we have

Decent enough game, could have won that on another day.

The only people I see really pissed off are the people who think Juve are shit because they're from Italy and haven't watched them in 20 years. They didn't get to the CL Final for no reason; they're an absolutely quality team and man for man are just as good as us.

1-0 away isn't the worst result in the world.

Now there's your dose of measured sensibilities, feel free to go off on the traditional Bluemoon outrage. Fun fact, we actually have a spike of guests come on our forum any time we lose because you lot have a reputation in the wider football community of being laughably ridiculous when a result doesn't go our way.

I'm sure tonight will be the night that proves them all wrong though.

im not sure what was decent about that performance...besides Hart....awful and wide open in defence.....no cover in front of them form midfield and no creativity at all from midfield, slack passing, no tempo besides for about 5-10 mins in the second half....how many clear chances did we create?(two - the sterling one, the ferna one and a couple of half chances and one from a complete mistake).

we are really poor and the team just look completely flat at the moment....and now we have an injury to Hart and have to have a really second rate keeper who is a walking disaster for at least the next game (possibly)

 

[Damocles]

Exactly

They're also top of their group. And again, last year they were in the final of the CL. Losing three players who were good on FIFA but in terms of their team 2 of them were bit part players who contributed little and have been replaced by better

 

[burning blue soul]

on a negative note, the team is looking as clueless as they ever have against decent opposition and a solid defence...

on a positive note though, at least we can all sing the "we never win at home and we never win away" song with genuine conviction now!!

 

[forevermancity]

Better 2nd half but my reservations about MP grow by the week

 

[rnblade]

Sterling couldn't hit the floor if he fell over. That was a shocking miss, he whines and moans about playin up front, put the fucking ball away then you poncy little prick.

 

[Sky Blue]

Spot on, if Hart's injured for that game it could be double figures

Don't be a dick...

 

[Fallingbostel Blue]

Good opportunity to win the group wasted.
Am I the only one who gets annoyed by our players being"nice"to, supposed injured,and downed opponents?Fuck them ! For ninety minutes they are the enemy.
Some bizarre refereeing again as well.

Was thinking just the same we are too nice, other teams use every trick in the book. if its not an head injury play on, no one gave two fucks when Navas went down in the first half. until we get a stronger win at all costs mentality we will struggle in Europe.

 

[Yates]

I know we go on about Navas and his end product but where is the movement? There were times tonight when an attacking player had the ball at his feet and literally every one of 6 attacking players was stood still.

Watch the best teams and you'll see so much unselfish running going on to open up space. It's either laziness or poor tactics: probably a combination of the two.

This team is massively under performing considering the transfer investment and wage bill.

There's a constant case of "being the man" that goes around City, even Bony got a taste of it when he got a stretch of games.
