Post Match Thread - United (h)

More I think about yesterday’s game the more I realise just how shit we were, How can someone like Bernardo play like he did last season to play like he did yesterday, he wouldn’t get a game for the ladies team never mind our first 11

He has fallen so far in one season it’s incredible.

I despite his clear shortcomings, I would give Mahrez a run of games now. He can’t keep coming in and out of the side. Try Bernardo in the middle and see if that helps.
 
Stones, Otamendi, Angelino & Mendy not good enough.
David Silva is coming to the end.
Bernardo not in form this season.
Laporte, Aguero & Sane injured.
Rodri needs a year to adapt.
It’s just not there this season.
 
Apart from last season we always endure a hangover from a title winning season and come no where near the season after. What’s Pep’s thinking does he stay another 3 years and build another team or is he getting off at the end of his contract? Has a feeling of the end of Pelegrini with players downing tools and not putting a shift in, if he is staying get the ones that are regressing gone.
Personally think he will be gone at the end of the season.

He has to sign long term if he wants to rebuild.
 
Agreed on the 7-8 players not performing, and that's a major worry.

Why? Is it the hangover from last season's run in or they are no longer thriving off Pep?

The reasons are as numerous as the number of balls with which you can cover a football pitch and heap into a pyramid! Pick one reason and you could be way off beam. I noticed that at HT Raheem was particularly annoyed after speaking to the Alty Tit and threw his arm up in a gesture of what I gather for the rest of us would be despair or disbelief at the decision re the penalty on 45mins. We get that goal and it changes the complexion of the game - don't get it and we have a wee mountain to overcome in just 45 mins. It must affect the players week in, week out, when you see some teams getting the most obvious leg-ups when needed and others, including MCFC, being denied legitimate claims.

You can add KDB to that for me, a shadow of the world class player he can be.
 
Right slept on it , well tried to sleep !. Two parts to my rant this morning

The team is a million miles away to what we have been use to. The quick 1,2 touch flowing football has been replaced with players taken slow 7,8 touches, that says to me no confidence. Why do our wingers do the same every game very rarely take on a defender and just cut inside to a crowded box ?. Why wont anyone shoot ? Why dont we counter attack instead we are nice and slow so the opposition can get their 10 behind the ball ? What has happened to our press?. Playing teams who play long to fast forwards why dont our defenders drop 10yds giving them less room ?. Has the team subconsciously been effective by VAR ? Knowing they are likely at some point of the game to be screwed at least once. I couldnt understand how Foden didnt come on, it's getting silly game after game we get over run or lack place yet Pep wont use him or our youth.

As a game going fan who does 600 miles per game sometimes with a stop over , I now have to question should I keep paying to watch a product that is bent. It's not just yesterday but I think nearly every game this season VAR has screwed us, and its costing me alot of enjoyment and expense. I am thinking of taking the rest of the season 'off' , I am still knackered from the last 14 games of last season and I seem to be lacking the 'fight' this season knowing VAR will screw us. Coming to matches takes most of my weekend and for what to watch a league which is bent. This isnt sour grapes as soon as I saw what happen at home to spurs I knew the league have at last got a tool which stop City. The cheating is clear to see but clubs etc are to scared to speak out. Even the utd fan at the desk at the premier inn said Fred's was a pen and he doesnt understand VAR !
Anyway I will be back up for the Leicester game I dont know if I will be giving it 100% as part of me says at some point we will get screwed it's sad but after 59yrs I like I am losing interest in football as a bent product. Still love City to bits but can I as a person allow a product the premier league a bent product to upset my whole weekend and take my hard earned money for much more longer. The ref in the shed can give what he wants he doesnt have to justify his decisions wish I had a job like that. Might have spend more time with the wife now !!!!!
