I think that’s the point though.
Leipzig really weren’t good enough for a 1-1, but we made them look like odds on winners in the second half.
That second half display had so much wrong with it for the talent we have. No energy or ambition.

The result is a good one on the face of it and I fancy us to go through, but I really think we need to be upping the anti at this stage of the season and I’m not sure it looks like it’s in us.

Not read a word of thread, so my thoughts with no influence, but fuck off Pep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, overreaction, best manager ever blah blah blah, but if EVER a game summed him up then tonight was that game. Fucking pathetic, utter shite. How the fuck did he once again make ZERO subs!?

Gundo is so over the hill it’s embarrassing, I could run more than him ffs.

We should have spanked Leipzig tonight, they were shite. We scored from a mistake and created fuck all in 90 odd minutes.

Wouldnt surprise me, and I wouldn’t blame him, if Erling fucked us off in the summer.

Disgusted.

Result could have been whatever. That was about the most soporific 90 minutes of football i've watched since....we last played...and the time before. We're wasting a fucking goal scoring savant. We're wasting him. We've bought the best pure goalscorer of the last 20 years and we're fucking wasting him. 26 goals sure. But most of them came pre world cup - and are we sure Pep isn't coaching the instinct out of him. Everything pep does is deliberate. There is no instinct.

We play boring football. I fucking love city, every day we play i love it, it makes my week, it makes me happy - but not this year. I want to win - but my god I want to be entertained at least a little. We have been so diabolically passive in too many games this year. This is entertainment. This is what we work for, to go to the games, to watch the football, to enjoy ourselves. I'm not enjoying this at all.

Rant over. Fuck fuck cufifucjcki jheolf

This is how I feel too. Normally, when we’re playing midweek it will be on my mind at work all day, I’ll be buzzing for the game. But there were times today where I had to be reminded that we were playing. It’s a chore, we’re not enjoyable to watch at all. It’s just completely boring and has been all season.

Result is okay but that's just not good enough overall. We're winning fuck all playing like this.

Peps got us so obsessed with controlling the game that it's now to the detriment of the team. What do we get out of having so much control? We don't create anywhere near as much as we should or used to because of it, we cannot entirely stop teams from having chances and it doesn't tire teams out for us to capitalise on in the second half, so what's the point? If we played to attack rather than just keep the ball we would score far more than we would concede because of it and therefore win more games.

Lack of subs when the game is crying out for changes no longer annoys me, I've just come to accept it now, he does it all the time. Alvarez and foden should have been on after an hour.

Bang on the money. We will win nothing with the current tactics. We are just so predictable and predictable soon becomes boring.

you could hear Pep screaming his name on my feed while the game was going on....not sure what Haaland can do unless it was about the fact that haaland was clearly getting frustrated and Pep wanted him to calm down?

He’s screaming his name because he wants his players to pass to him, he’s screaming it at the other players.

Oh here we go. We’re away in the CL against a team who are very good at home. They aren’t canon fodder. You have to face spells at this level where you’ll be under heavy pressure. That’s how elite football matches work. You don’t just pass the ball around for 90 minutes without them touching the ball. It was a solid performance overall with a good result and we’re in a great position to go through with our excellent CL home record.

Its not rocket science and our players aren,t super human, they made 5 subs whilst we make none, (in effect our 10 outfield players are playing against 15 of theirs pver 90mins) thats a lot of fresh legs to deal with when the opposition have got a bit of momentum going.
We looked knackered as the half wore on and mistakes became al the more obvious I don,t understand how/why we do nothing to counteract it.

On paper not a bad result and no doubt we,ll do them back at ours, but its so frustrating that we make it so difficult for ourselves.

God knows how Haalands feeling.

Bayern or Real would have been a much better option for him. Can see him and Alvarez both wanting to leave in the summer.

Elite football, and any sport in fact, is about putting teams away when you’re well on top and not letting the opposition back into the tie.

The failure to do that against Madrid last season - when we should have finished the tie in the first leg - is why we didn’t win the competition last year. We’ve now created a very tricky game at home against a team which looks set up to counter attack, all because we we were happy playing passive, negative football tonight, with the manager doing nothing to address the situation even while things were obviously going wrong in the second half.

Probably telling Gundogan and Silva that he’s on our side and we can pass to him.
 
Good first half - Haaland would have been more involved if Walker wasn't shite in the final third.

Second half - Leipzig much better, increased the intensity and we couldn't match it.

Have absolutely no clue what Pep was playing at. None whatsoever. He can be annoyed about the players after the game as much as he wants, but it's within his wheelhouse to change it during the game. Mahrez and the midfield did nothing second half, except struggle. Haaland might as well give up. Pep was absolutely terrified of bringing on more direct players, that he seemed oblivious to the chances we were leaking with knackered control players.

Sorry, but tonight tells us that it's over for Pep. Thanks for some amazing years, but it's obvious that 10 mins before Lepzeig equalized that changes needed to be made and he did fuck all again.

We have a worldie striker, and we can't get the ball to him, that's poor coaching from Pep. We have a big squad and he won't make a sub, we piss about around the box and then pass back before the half-way line.

Not a chance we win the Cl with Pep, sorry but he's a stubborn old goat who refuses to change and he will cost us the league this season.

Harsh, but I'm afraid, true.
 
Nice venting and ignoring of the fact EUFA is against City.

You saw it vs Liverpool in 18.
You saw the Llorente handball in 19.
You saw the foul on Laporte in 20.
You saw KDB nearly get beheaded in 21.

Pep is doing this because he wants us to SURVIVE to somehow win by attrition.

It's clearly RIGGED for us to fail.

All because Man City owners are BROWN!


You can blame Pep for fuck all but the truth is he's the only one willing to atleast try with rigged odds!

Things won't magically change with the next manager! It'll be the same till we have Shiekh Mansour!
