Ha, that made me chuckle. What I needed. My eldest went to bed crying, I’ve had an argument with my wife. Fuck it, Istanbul we are coming, with sun block. Night all.

Absolutely spot on Steve.
Only Walker has any pace and they are all susceptible to dropping howlers.
Cancelo is a lousy defender, although up the pitch he does some amazing things. Zinny always gives 100%, but in reality he is only a (very reliable) squad player. I would also say the same about Aké, albeit he has improved a fair bit in recent games. Not convinced he will ever get to the level that we really need though to beat the best teams. Stones is injury prone.
The above doesn’t even address the shortcomings of Eddie, but all things considered it isn’t a great setup.

Some players are beyond criticism. Dare to do so and you're not a twoo fan.
It works both ways though. Some players are often overly criticised.

After what we did at Athletico we seriously forgot how to see out a lead for a resultWe managed the game well for 89 minutes then stopped, thinking it was won. We, of all teams, should know better.
They are one off games - we are not entitled to win every game… it’s where we finish after 38 games and generally this side has delivered in spades….Khm, khm,...,Spurs at home, losing a game in that way has prepared me for this crap tonight. Although i could not believe it could actually happen. The dippers at home, but even before, losing to Spurs after having 143 shots on goal ...Southampton x 2, Crystal Palace x 2, do you see the pattern? Every time it was made hard for us, we obligingly folded up. I understand people here want to put on a brave face, but for me it is not about losing a game, it is about the manner of losing it.
although I do agree I’m sick of us being naive or not getting the rub of the green in these one off games

I hope we win the league, but that's two game this season where we've let in last minute goals when we really, really should have managed the game out. Dunno if it's a ten year curse for QPR, but if we don't win anything this year I think you can say this team bottled it. 7 points clear in the league and 2 goals clear on 90 minutes should be enough to win it. Let's pray we can cling on. They have a big job to get back up for it on Sunday, and get us over the line.

I disagree about Ake though, he is good, and an international. We just haven't seen much of him. Zinchenko has been forced into his role which isn't his natural position..

what’s that old saying…. it’s all on the manager……. them subs killed us no two ways about it cos it’s there in black and white and pep and City out againnnNo he has not. At 88 minutes we were through with breathing room. How is that Peps fault?
Put it in context fella…. you are watching match of the day.. and one team is two goals up after almost scoring twice in the last few minutes and they have the ball by the oppositions corner flag with 88 mins on the clock and they proceed to concede two goals from there… how on earth would you laugh at the manager? It’s absolutely down to the players at that point.
Pep had done his job.

True. It's football I guess, players miss chances ( Even Aguero did) and keepers let in soft goals now and then. We're all hurting so things are a bit heated.
