I thought that was Rodri saying farewell to be honest. If it was, it was better than the farewell David Silva got.

Sadly him and Sergio went during covid.

One of our worst performances ever period.

Gvardiol, Walker, Gundogan, Lewis, Bernardo. These are all players constantly playing out of necessity and ultimately having bad games or average ones because they have no other competition or rest available. Half fit CBs with a new pairing every few games. Injuries have finished us off at a really bad time. Today’s team sheet wasn’t even bad, but a 4-0 is sickening. There was no leadership on the pitch, our captain is too busy being a mess off the field and making mistakes playing too. We moved the ball like we’re going through the motions.

Big wake up call for Pep. His stubbornness for a small squad and persistence in keeping the same system with small tweaks is going to hurt us if he keeps this up. We do not have the profiles to try out the tweaks he tried today. We do not have the legs in midfield to be attempting suicide ball like we did today. It was like Ange was our manager and Pep was theirs.

The defence being lacklustre or the midfield getting overrun is just part of the problem, but how bad has our finishing been? My word.

Hardly any positives from the game. Maybe that we did create chances before going into shock conceding those goals, or that Kev looked bright after coming on, and there are no further injuries. That is it.

At this point fuck a title race or any other competition, it is about getting back to winning ways and finding some stability. But looking at our upcoming fixtures there’s less optimism than ever before.

It is fine not winning the league or any other cup because it’s not something you can manage every year. 4 in a row was crazy enough. But we cannot get too comfortable to let the standards drop too low. To the point where top 4 scrap is a dangerous possibility. This is a venting space for me maybe, but tonight hurt. That is all. Hopefully we fix this soon.

We need a couple of scrappy win with lucky goals, bounces going the right way then the confidence will come back and you will see a different team.

You mean like the first half dozen games this season?

Spurs were 6/1 to win today, madness.

Liverpool are 6/4 for next weekend, again utter madness. These bookies don’t have a clue.

This team is absolute muck just now - attitude, work rate, mentality, players well past their sell by date. Huge January ahead of us to try plug some gaps and salvage what’s looking like a sorry season.

sssssssssshhhhhh, don't tell the bookies. Keep making the dosh.

 

[RayCTID]

Wouldn't of mattered we would of tired and lost 2-4 anyway.

Or ended up 3-3 like last season

 

[Bluekiwi]

No shame in losing matey

City fans will go again in midweek and fully get behind the team, that's football and why we love football

I don't like reading negative posts hence my reluctance to log in. As wife said "There is worse things in life than losing a football match". I have never seen her weed a flower garden so quickly - the weeds were flying everywhere except into her bag whilst the flowers cowered in trepidation.

I know that Paul... I was just tickling the hook cast by @ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN

 

[heslops barnet]

I don’t know if I’m being delusional by still believing we can win the title.

Been on the sauce?

 

[manimanc]

We are currently in a transitional phase and probably won't win the league this season, but with Pep we have the best manager available to rebuild this team. We can't win the league every season.

Exactly mate.
It's really quite simple to take in when you read a sensible post like this.

show's how fast we have deteriorated.

 

[roy.or.r]

You assess wherever you are up to. We have lost 5 on the spin and the games we won prior we scraped by in. Going back over old seasons doesn't mean a thing at this moment. Are you intentionally thick?

Did you just figure that out? That poster has been as thick as bricks for a while now. Don’t think it’s intentional though.

Big job on his hands…….at the moment and with this team I can’t see who we will beat….unfortunately

Lewis,Bernardo,Gundogan and Walker need to be shipped out . Not good enough.

 

[RayCTID]

Not that much injuries to our better defenders aren't helping with matters along with midfield. Can't form a decent partnership if it is constantly changing due them.

 

[heslops barnet]

With city it seems that we never just have a player or two having a bad game but we’re either all playing well or playing shite

 

[manimanc]

Ok tiger

Tiger?
Ooh you little tease petal.

 

[BolinCell]

Delusional, we're in a mess right now, Pep can't string two games together with the same defence and midfield and away at Liverpool next up. Not Pep's fault, bad timing with injuries and in vital areas.

add bad planning to the bad timing excuse.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Tactically we are wide open, not compact as a team in the slightest.

Defensively we are dire, and that's from front to back. A non existent press, and what happened to getting the ball back almost immediately after losing it?

Other teams getting in behind the full backs with ease game after game.

No legs in midfield to track runners when we lose the ball. The defenders being outnumbered, or man for man time after time when we give the ball away.

I'm not sure how we fix this with the players we have in midfield, other than a change of tactics.

We've conceded 14 goals in the last 5 games, we can't carry on like this. The dippers will spank us if we are as wide open against them as we've been recently.

 

[kinky's boots]

Yep. Poor recruitment caught up with us and players need replacing.

Credit to the fans who stayed. No booong even singing at the end. Credit to them.

We have had it so good. They need us now

I was really proud of our support tonight. Still full at 75 mins and three down. Obviously some people always leave at 85 to get home, win lose or draw. But us lot who stayed got right behind the team

From hero's to zero's in such a short space of time ?.
