Some fans just want to win every game and can not take losing
It's OK to lose and not win silverware if we come up short this season, Being a Manchester City fan is not about Glory.

Glory hunters moaning like fuck because we did not play well and lost can go to fuck, If you are a true City fan you understand why glory hunters should be over the road at the scum.


OK. Rant over

YES, City are struggling and you know what, They need you more than ever right now, GET behind the players, stick together, bring the noise, be the 12th man,

We've been shite for weeks mate.

We still love city but let's have it right.

Injuries or not the "way" the teams playing is tactically shit.

And before you say your a bigger blue, I could easily take being beat of the scum 10 nil as long as I could see our team trying.

We've been shite.

Worse second half performance I’ve seen in many a year

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Come back in a couple of days on here, blues are frustrated, it’s not the loss it’s the performance and we don’t know if it’s the players or Peps tactics that is costing us. Plus the injuries that are not helping.

With reflection a lot of us will be feeling sheepish about our frustrated comments. We are all Blues some of us just need to vent that frustration. We know a lot of blues feel the same. It doesn’t harm anyone venting on a forum.

It makes those who vent to a certain extent look like know-nothings.

Those who criticise to a lesser extent, it looks like they know the past and can accept a slum in performance.

On the plus side, we have a new £350mill North stand.

I wonder if that’s where the £100mill+ profit transfer money went towards?

Seen a lot of clubs do this - riding high Icarus style!

Injuries. Everybody grow a pair.

You wouldn't realise because Pep is setting us up like we are at full strength.

Where do people rate this squad in relation to previous incarnations ? For me, it's the worst since very early in the takeover period.

It just seems that half the squad has suddenly got old, slow and injury prone at the same time

You have to question the foresight and forward planning to allow that to happen at a club with our resources

Credit to Sporting. They outplayed us 2nd half. What a shambolic collapse by City. Time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves, stop this negative talk about being tired, defend properly - we are way too open - stop giving the ball away and start taking our chances. We must do much, much better.

3/1 for sporting to win was like printing money. This side is completely bereft of confidence and mentality just now.

Manchester City:

1- squad approximate cost : $1.33 Billion
2- Annual wage bill $270 million

Sporting Lisbon :

1- squad approximate cost : between $250-$300 Million
2- Annual wage bill- around $40 million


Lets hope the club will invest more wisely

I think our owners have done okay from that investment - isn’t it 17 trophies now? This was just one game

 

[Goldust]

When you sell the players we have Palmer, Lavia, Porro, Alvarez, Delap, Rodgers and buy well nobody, then suffer injuries like we have there is only going to be one end result. Sorry whoever did that needs to be held accountable, it’s smells of a lack of competency or complacency.
