Haha

11 year old nephews first away game he's buzzing regardless of the result.

He's even enjoying the pissed up city fans singing very questionable songs.

He's trying to remember the words, for next week's show-and-tell...

 

[argyle]

Apart from Haaland they’re fucking soft lads that’s why.

We need some more players like Yaya, Vinnie, Tevez, Zab, and Fern.

...but how many trebles did these players get? Did they win four titles in a row?

You're doing a disservice to the current players because you're angry we didn't win today or win 5 titles in a row.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Just watch the saints get battered next week.

 

[we are really here]

Why two full backs playing as wingers more so when one is lewis I'm not nunes biggest fan but would've been better option

I don't mind the full backs providing the width but take me back to walker and cancelled. Gvardiol and Lewis are not maraudering full backs

More to the point we need just 1 like that

Not to worry I've included the train journey in the "whats said at the football stays at the football" clause !

Not arsed about 5 in a row.

What I'm more arsed about is we couldn't score against a team rock bottom with a MINUS 57 goal difference.

It's pathetic.

Re the Viking situation and his style of play Would you prefer a Franny Lee, Tevez or a Sergio? I would take all 3 over him

I’d take Sergio everyday of the week, however, we’ve got the Viking and just don’t play to his strengths, the ball needs to be coming into the box against sides like Southampton from the byline and not from inverted wingers/fullbacks it’s too easy to defend against.
Against the ‘better’ sides we need to be releasing him early from the ball over the top/round the corner.

It’s all too pedestrian for him to get space which then makes him ineffectual.

A Saint fan on radio was fuming said last week at Leicester they gave up in first five minutes

 

[chaddblue]

Terrible day just capped off by villa winning a game nobody expected them to win

The only positive from that result is that bournemouths European hopes could be as good as over by the time they come to the Etihad

The defence are set before we start attacking moves so frustrating

 

[benno74]

One other whine that I have got our current style of play.
Just why on earth does he not allow the full backs to overlap?
So many occasions we see the winger face up the oppo full back, space galore down the side of him, and our full back (never matters who it is) sees the opportunity, but declines it as if they'll be given some electric shock if they go beyond the winger.
Drives me mad

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Who would have thought with 4 away wins today ours wouldn’t be one of them..

 

[bitterblue78]

Fuck me, so many slapped arse, over the top, reactionary posts in here.

Yes, it was disappointing, especially after working so hard to get back into contention, but there are people actually calling for Peps head in this thread.

Fucking shameful of him to not get 5 in a row for us...and another European Cup. Booo. Wheres the Carabao? Boooo. Shameful I tell yer. Fucking Fraud.
Clueless. As he was at Barca and them lot in Bavaria. I mean, what has he actually done for us? What? Get fucking gone.

Self-entitled, disrespectful bullshit.

Give the bloke a break FFS.

Drew to the 2nd worse team in Premier league history who in turn haven't kept a clean sheet in 22 games. Happy clapper alert

 

[come-on-barney]

We drew a game.

Pep is the best manager in the world, and his set ups won us 4 titles in a row.

One off season and people on here have lost their minds.

Bizarre comment. Nobody is disputing that, but he got it wrong today.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

we need to absolutely gut this squad and start again. We’re entertaining the likes of McAtee, akanji, Lewis, khuzanov, reis. How far we have fallen. Could savinho, grealish, Nunez, doku or kovacic get in a team that’s pushing to make the last 4 of the CL? KDB, Bernardo and gundogan were once greats but are now absolutely finished. Foden’s had a nightmare. Haaland turns up when it suits him. The only plus points are marmoush, o’reilly and Bobb. FACTS

It ruined my Super6!

 

[Tevez City]

Haaland return & the winning streak End.

 

[LittleblueLever]

Lest we all forget…Southampton are one of our bogey sides.

Give over, a side that has not kept a clean sheet in 22 games.
