I'd start of with an opinion, move it forward 10yds, then go back to my starting point. I'd pass that opinion onto my neighbour on my left and see what he thinks, he'd give it straight back to me. I'd then try my neighbour to the right hand side. He'd move forward with the opinion change his mind and give it back to me. I'd give it straight back to the wife and move out wide to the shed. The wife would throw a new opinion with a slightly different angle. I'd try and move forward with that but seeing no-one to expand that idea with, I'd take the safe option and pass it sideways again. Eventually time would run out, I would have had 71% possession of the opinion but f**k all to show for it!

Spot on. Nail on head.

It's not a boxing match, it does not go to the judges score cards at the end ,it's about goals. Stopping them and scoring them.
 
Average. Disappointing. Frustrating. Glad to see the back of it.
If it's the same next season, then Pep will be in trouble.
 
Below par, Pep gets us to the final third well and then the players are the ones in control, we know this is how he works so players need to take some blame here. We have been very wasteful in the final third. That wastefulness translates into other teams more willing to have a go and not worry about just keeping the beating to a low score. A team desperately worried about a cricket score is not thinking how to score 5 past you, currently teams do think they have a chance.

Our defence has been rocky all season and only showing some solidity just now with Kompany back, seeing that it is obvious we must keep him and hope his fitness holds, he is simply to good. All of it can be traced back to our wastefulness though imo and that is down to the players if we believe Pep gets them there (final third) and leaves it to them from that point onward. We are improving though so i am not angry, it is very hard to make the changes needed at this level and have them work all the time, i get that so i am not pissed off.

Possession of the ball is easy when the opposition don't even want the ball.
 
I've really enjoyed some of the football, and seeing Jesus and Sane. I'll always enjoy Silva and it's great to see my man Yaya mastering a new role, and VK playing consecutive games. Pep can be stimulating.

I'm not going to go into the rest.
 
Disappointing, but not without positives.

Positives

Return of Kompany
Signings of Jesus and Sane who are or will be outstanding players.
The pattern of play. We have a purpose even if we are blunt

Negatives

Players like Zab, Sagna,Kolarov, Toure growing old. Aguero also struggling
Some City fans. Moan moan moan with nostalgic nonsensical views of an MCFC that never was. If City has changed, so have a lot of fans.
Bravo. Signing a disaster. Saddened me to see that some City fans almost seemed to delight in his failure.
