I don't think he makes us worse or Pep doesn't know how to use him, it's just theres one creative player who can find him in KDB no one else is creating for him. We need a David Silva to help Kev with the creativity

What makes matters worse is that Doden has effectively fucked off. Bernie hates it here...despite picking up astronimocal wages. Basically a lot of them should hace fked off in the summer if they didn't fancy it. Arsenal will battlecwith Utd now as we might amazingly beat the Arse away lol. We are one fked up team mentally
 
what is going on. i want to hear an explanation for why our best player, maybe even the best player in the world, is on the bench away at our worst ground when we have not another game for 7 days.

why hes let one of our 4 or 5 world class players go out on loan when we have absolutely no other ordinary option for that position

why we persist with this shite formation and our best 2 centre backs on the bench especially since we’ve caved under pressure away from home this season multiple times

why the goalkeeper cannot save jack shit, even bobbled shots he wrong foots himself on somehow and then dives over
 
Pep could do worse than watch the Dzeko video that was uploaded the other day on the City sight, as it’ll give him some insight into how you play to a big strikers strengths.
 
Pep is our greatest ever manager. The football we’ve witnessed with him at the helm has been at times breathtaking. HOWEVER, why change a philosophy that’s worked within 3 different leagues in the world. Not sure I saw our strikers touched the ball once. The football is designed to keep the ball and allow your attacking midfielders to provide the creativity by creating underlaps and picking the ball up in pockets. 1 goal is the difference and that was from a mistake, so you could argue elements worked. But we are a million miles away from what we can do, and should be doing.

Not saying he is the only problem but I’m not convinced he has the technical ability required to play for a pep side. We would look so much better with Kane imo

Maybe the midfield that played today doesn't have the technical ability to play the ball in behind for him when he's constantly making runs.

He was making fabulous runs today, Play him fucking in.

What I don't understand is, how the best coach in the world (which he is) can go onto a game, knowing whats coming, have the same mistakes for 4 seasons. He's got one one him atm and he needs to sort his head out

Our game is to attack, we had 84% possession at one stage up to the goal. They sat back and soaked it up. If we don’t go at them then do we just sit back and see what happens.
 
Wont be popular on here.

Maybe the problem is Pep,and only Pep.

Maybe players are sick of this slow,shit,insipid robotic football he demands.

Being chastised for not keeping possession at all costs.

The man put out a team today of players only to feed his own authoritative Ego.In a game we needed to win.Let that sink in.

It wasnt for for the greater good of the side.

Hence why he made the Gundpgan change only on 84 minutes when he knew the game for us was pretty much done.

Something needs to change,

The matchday thread and this is akin to a boxers corner throwing the fucking towel in after 10 seconds and one punch!

Get a fucking grip ffs.

No divine right to win every game or every PL. This manager and squad has broken records, left, right and centre and will do so again over the next few years as he rebuilds.

Meanwhile we are 2nd in the fucking PL and still in the FA cup and CL.

And if we serve that shite up week after week we'll win fuck all
 
Kev can't create everything, we need a David Silva next to him who can create as well.

One season where we dip in quality and we resort to calling one of the greatest coaches in football history a fucking twat.

Wow, we really are no different to any other fanbase are we?

I didn't call Pep with my post but he does need to take some responsibility for a few performances this season.

I've no doubt we'll be back but, this is the poorest we've been since his first year with us when he didn't have the players for his system.

It'd be just like us to win the CL, it's that sort of compy.

EDIT* Just re-read my post, I was on about the ref,

Why? Maddison is exactly what this squad needs, he's a hungry english player that wants trophies he'd bring goals and assists as well. Bellingham the same wants to win.

to go from bernardo silva, David silva and gundogan to James Maddison is quite the come down tbh

So the highest paid manager in the world and the players can't raise their collective game against a team we always struggle against ? Spurs didn't break sweat in that game.
Click to expand...
Neither did we. Highest paid manager because he is the most succesful ever. It's normal. It happens in all sports, there are teams/players that struggle against certain opposition.

Predictable, Spurs could have killed us on the counter. 1-0 flatters us. Keeping possession just for the sake of it is not football

No because at some point you actually have to shoot at the goal and score if you want to win.
 
Worrying thing to me is that’s the kind of performance that makes me think what are we working on in training.

We’ve gone from the players instinctively finding Haaland early in the season to not even noticing his runs. Playing an inverted left back when Spurs counter down that side constantly was daft as well.
 
city warrior said:
Most people here are idiots or extremely emotional/reactionary. Spurs away has always been challenging for us, and today it was a close match and I would say we were better. Bar Rodri's mistake (our player of the season so far) we cobtrolled the game (we weren't that dangerous either).

Anyway, it's still a long way to go, and even with no PL, we are still in for 2 trophies

Control the game all you want. But if every time they counter they look like they’re going to score it needs addressing
