See my earlier post, it’s a fucking head scratcher.On corners why we insist of having Haaland standing near the goalie? Cant the set piece coach think of anything else utterly useless that lot! Have him standing outside the pen area running on to a corner!

No, it’s not. If you check that game back, Doku was begging to be brought off as he was completely done, but Pep made a triple sub yet still left him on. That’s on Pep.I think that's harsh on Pep. Injuries have sadly been a big part of his career for as long as he's been a professional. Probably understandable given his playstyle.
His goal was a complete flukeIn a dominant well functioning team that creates chance after chance he WAS fantastic.
Could have gone anywhere
It’s because you are CONSTANTLY negative & sound somewhat immature. Tell me again - do you watch the games on TV or do you actually go to matches? If so, where do you sit?It's my opinion which you and others will not agree with, fine by me. But you pull virtually every post of my mine up, others are equally as critical but you seem to avoid them
Blue and still suffering

Fair point, we are on a bad run at the moment with players injured and others going through a bad patch. It's all about confidence and momentum, if that is low, then conceding a goal early in the second half leads to self doubt and therefore more errors which compounds the problem even more. A couple of good wins with good performances would make a world of difference. Unfortunately I don't know how soon that will happen. At least we didn't lose.Still rather be where we are than the rags..
Still in all 4 competitions isn't really a shit stain of a season..but I agree we aren't playing great.
Hopefully we will win something..or even get an occasional VAR decision in our favour
For me, we just did not want it enough. No hunger. No onslaught in the last 10 minutes. Spurs were absolutely abysmal in the first half and that is when we should have put the game to bed. That we ended up with Donnarumma making more crucial saves than Vicario tells the whole story. The crowd was totally quiet and ready to erupt against their own club, we needed to be ruthless and twist the knife. Read the ****ing room lads! As a group, we need to vastly improve our mentality and impose our will on the opposition rather than falling apart as soon as we are confronted with any aggression. We seem to lack those 100% competitive, battling players who will run through brick walls rather than lose. We are great when we are much, much better than the opposition but when our opponent is our equal we tend to bottle out rather than battle on.

But we don’t have that now. It surely can’t be accepted that he just stands there until we find the next David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne or Gundo, can it? He’s got to do more, hasn’t he?
I'm saying that there's no correlation between Pep making his speech and that shitshow of a second half.Pep is or was a winner ? you saying it's not Pep
Look, Pep is untouchable, rightly so with his record at City, but winners don't become comfortable at losing or taking 2nd best from their players. We are not talking about 6 to 10 games here, its will be nearly 2 seasons and some very bad performances and not all down to injury crises
The team today was just about the best starting 11 we have had for 2 years, We were 2.0 up to Spurs and their fans were turning on them, and we dont come out ??
Pep should be locking the dressing room door and not letting anybody out until midnight ? even in the post match interview, sorry i would be spitting and screaming ? We are talking about a team 2nd in the title race with a chance to go 4 points behind and you roll over
He deserves plenty of criticism for today, not as much as a few players out there but he has to carry the can as the manager.
His speech, just in case I wasn't clear had fuck all to do with it.

People need to get off Haaland’s back. He has his YouTube channel to concentrate on!

I just watched the replay of their first goal and the foul on Guehi.
It's mind-blowing that VAR did not chalk that off (I'm not using this as an excuse for our abysmal second half).

I’d hardly describe the officials and VAR as football gods.City's fanbase is now really soft and entitled. That's what bothers me more than anything else.
It was very disappointing not to win but 2-2 at Spurs is not a disaster. The game went against us and yes we should have done better but the Football Gods were also loaded against us.
It’s all f******* corrupt & the shit is aimed at us
Even an idiot like me can see it.On corners why we insist of having Haaland standing near the goalie? Cant the set piece coach think of anything else utterly useless that lot! Have him standing outside the pen area running on to a corner!
So it’s not only the players coasting in their job.

When I saw it in real time I thought offside, when I saw the replay, I thought RAN played him on.they said RAN was playing him on, but it certainly didn't look that way

No he didn’t. Why? Because he’s human and his service is non existent right now.So did you think Haaland played well, he was pathetic again and I am astonished he stayed on, his ball control is tragic!
He’s also inhuman and has a record for us and his entire career any club would want a player to boast those stats
But yeah, fuck him. Some one this forum don’t know what day it is. Dumb.
Absolute rubbish.I think something is happening off the pitch, it's not a happy camp. Body language all round looks poor and something is definitely amiss with these performances at utd, Bodo and now Spurs where we could've lost by a lot more in each game, we deserved to lose today
What can you say about another lacklustre performance, something not right behind the scenes.
Bermardo and Donnarumma showing that they are the only two truly great players with an attitude to match. Guehi also looked decent considering its still early days.
As for the rest and the lump upfront, an absolute shit show yet again. If I saw some effort and energy maybe I could accept the result, sadly I'm not sure any of our players have the backbone and desire anymore.
Dreading the trip to Anfield next week but you never know, maybe an Anelka moment beckons ?

In today's world, a video link speech would have been better than having a couple of days off after that 2nd half
Not to mention against Wolves; Chelsea & BrightonWe scored twice today mate.
