OK a silly question then. Yes. Obviously.

It’s only silly if you have no sense of irony.

Of course it was, over 90 minutes we at least deserved a draw, embarrassing mate

I wouldn't say you were embarrassing. Not at all.

Think Haaland outburst because penalty not given, not overall team performance tbh.

 

[phargrave]

Is anyone suprised?

Was Lee Mason on VAR again…?

 

[vicblueman]

If he was on the bench, Pep wouldn't play him

He would nail him to the bench ha!ha!

If he was on the bench, Pep wouldn't play him

This is the worst thing. I can accept when we’re outplayed, or we have a bad game, but it’s just so fucking boring and predictable.

There are no great sides in Europe this season, the 3 trophies are there for the taking and these players just can’t be fucked.

Haaland should be screaming at them in the dressing room. Wide open, simple passes to put him in behind and it’s just too much hard work apparently.

I am wondering what Pep is telling the players.

How many times do we see players turn back towards their own goal to pass,and pass across the line.

Not just in this game.I have watched players look directly at Haaland (Silva),seeing he is clearly wanting the Ball.Then turning their back and passing backwards.This has got to be coming from Pep,it has to be.

We play some nice stuff get to the Box then recycle the Ball again,it is ridiculous.

I'm.starting to lose faith in Pep to be honest. I came to the conclusion some while back that we would never win Champions League with him at the helm. He just doesn't have it in him - he thinkers and farts about too much and bottles it in the big.games.

And now we're playing really dull boring safe football and wasting the biggest talent the premier League has ever seen it's a criminal shame. There's plenty of other managers would use the talent we have and get us playing better more attacking more productive football than this.

Don't u think Pep has earnt the respect to build another squad? I mean he's won us plenty of titles hasn't he?

This place has turned into RAWK and the rag cafe I bet they're laughing at u all.

Bet half of u lot moaning don't even go, sit in your chairs waiting to come on here for a moan because we've not won 5-0

 

[pride in battle]

I have higher standards and I thought that Pep and the players did as well. Guess a lot of our fans have lowered their standards and are happy with just getting a result. Sorry can’t change how I feel. I miss the real City. I don’t recognise this team right now.

You sound a right entitled ****

 

[havefaith]

It's not that they don’t want to pass to him. Opponents set up to prevent it. We could take more risks but that can cause problems on transition.

Haaland did get played through and didn't bit the target; he should have.

He had one decent pass/chance the whole game, hes crying out for a ball over the top, yet we rarely look for it never mind try it.
It certainly looks like they dont want to pass to him.

 

[madloaf]

So you think that was acceptable, do you? We could barely string half a dozen passes together. We were pedestrian. We looked bereft of attacking ideas. The refusal of the manager to make changes to freshen up the side is bizarre. The big positive is that we didn't lose. But if we get past Leipzig, we'll need to considerably up our performances, and up them to 90 minute levels, not the current 45 minute ones.

Truer words never spoken. It was unusual to see us be better in the first half than the 2nd half. Clearly pep only gives one "pep" talk per game. Either way it's not fucking good enough, not because of the result, but because we're so fucking boring!
