This is all really a clever devious plan by pep to get teams attacking us again instead of sitting behind the ball. Most now will think they have a chance….

The recruitment issue looks to be rather simple. The club has decided that wholesale changes will only be made when the new sporting director arrives. Didn’t want him starting with txiki signing 4/5 players before he left.

We got to grin and bear the passing of the torch and trust the club. Injuries could not have been foreseen.

This team is current on its last legs, reinforcements needed and they will happen at the right time. Until then we turn off the socials after our games and don’t listen. To any giddy loser. They have been waiting for this moment like little asswipes.

Yep, a scuffed stuffy
equaliser, two debatable pens,one decent goal.We had 72% possession, even the pisscan mark two said they were lucky.
Erling needs a goal and a few bodies back we'll be fine.

We look flushed , it’s blatantly obvious we won’t do 5 , Martin Samuel is correct , the mental , physical strain of being expected to do 5 in a row - 4 was the ultimate, I mean 5 ? Are any of you for fucking real , I mean really ? You expect us to do five this season ? I’d say get your fucking heads in gear.
This site is a fucking embarrassment at times - have you forgot the four in a row ?
To many bellends on here sound like self entitled United fans. Just fuck right off your mard arsed fucking melts.

No they don't we have needed a left back since Mendys first injury and it was only a matter of time for Kyle to slow down. Its time and the right recruitment to reach the top. It takes very little time and poor recruitment to fall away.

Listen, if I'm honest with you and I've said this on here a couple of times, I've been waiting for us to hit the brick wall ever since the treble, we'd reached the peak so I thought there would be a natural cooling off and a drop in intensity.
What happened? We went and got four in a row. But I feel this year could be that transition year where we aren't at it and have a rough patch. I could be wrong but we look jaded and maybe feeling a bit sorry for ourselves.
Who knows but I'm not going to kill this team or the manager after all they've done for us.

Neither am I but if we let a gap of 7, 8 points open up this year in the prem, it maybe curtains this time. The amount of energy that must take to pull of is unrelenting. Praying we can hold on and steady the ship before things get that far. We may have to accept a less successful year though!

 

[HarrytheBlue]

I don’t recall that happening.

I recall losing due to injuries, exhaustion, loss of form and confidence.

We’re in a tough period and people need to hang tight.

We go away to Lisbon with a depleted squad, dominate the game and have more than twice the shots of the home side. We should have been four up, but these freak results happen from time to time. Yes, we looked vulnerable during each of the very few Lisbon attacks - attacks that Rodri either prevents or deals with as an extra defender and on another day, three or four of our chances go in. Yes, things to sort out and we need more of our regulars fit, but I'm quite relaxed in the circumstances.

 

[Crooked_rain]

That was poor.

However, we do have players coming back and maybe a drubbing like that might be a good kick up the arse.

We're Man City and Pep us our manager, we'll be OK. I'm optimistic.

 

[city2]

Look let’s be honest we are not invincible ok we got beat tonight but we could have been 3-0 up at half time all I need to know for definitely is that pep is staying

 

[Dewey6]

Should have been over 30 mins into the first half. In saying that though, surely it's time to rethink this suicidal high line if we don't have Rodri and continue to play wingers that like to take players on. Taking players on is fine but not when losing possession causes a bed sh#tting contest at the back every time. Teams must be rubbing their hands together at a high line and Savinho/Doku in the side.

Have to wonder if and when the charges and Pep's future being unsettled will start impacting performances. Now maybe....
