Grealish gave the ball away for the fourth

But he was very solid on the whole. Yet I take your point - he came into the game late as well

Put your blue specs on. Even if we don’t get top four the money from the Club World Cup compensates for a year out of the Chumps Lge.

Not.Even.Close.

FIFA struggling for sponsors. Even Ancelotti came out and said that the current offer to Real Madrid for the whole tournament is only about 60% of the revenue Madrid receives for ONE GAME!

Teams are asking what money is available to determine whether they send EDS teams to the CWC and do their usual holiday break & pre-season tours with the First Team!

There were posters on here a few games back genuinely saying there was no need for a rebuild.


A yard?

Probably takes Gundog an hour to get down the stairs every morning.

My wanks are quicker.

And i'm a FOC

 

[manimanc]

At least we're being consistent.


Consistently shite.

 

[gaz76]

Just fuck off walker, shitest captain we have ever had

 

[flb]

No - just proper honest city fans saying it as it is......

Or is it City fans who can’t accept 5 in a row won’t be done and have morphed into classic entitled wet wipes ?

 

[B\connellblue]

Oh yer the crowd tonight was true fans
It’s just so many young lads on this forum saying they are going to support other team now. How fragile are they

We used to loose to Middlesbrough 8-1
anyone here remember ?

for fuck sake its not that long ago. there plenty here in their 50s 60s and 70s

Let's be honest we are going to Anfield as underdogs. The pressure will be on them rather than us and maybe that will suit us and make them nervous?

Yes I'm clutching at straws...

Typical City will strike next week… we’ve been the best team in Europe for most of the last six years and we haven’t won at Anfield in front of fans in that time, but now we’re as bad as we’ve been since Pellegrini we’ll go to Anfield next week and win.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Well our boards arrogance is coming back to bite them on arse

'In eight years we have never lived this kind of situation'



Man City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "In this moment we are fragile defensively. We started really well as normal but we could not score and then after that we conceded. After that we conceded some more which is difficult for our emotions right now.

"In eight years we have never lived this kind of situation. Now we have to live it and break it winning the next games, especially the next one. Now we see things in one way, maybe in a few weeks we see it differently."

On if the players are struggling: "Of course. We are happy when we win and concerned when we don't win. It's normal. There would be a problem if they were not worried or I am not worried.

"We are not used to doing this situation but life is like this. Sometimes it happens and we have to accept it. It is what it is now and we will stand up and do it."

On technical issues: "I would say that it is not a question of tactics when you lose these types of games. There are details of course but this situation is how you react in some moments. And things are different when you lose three league games in a row."

On his new deal and feeling the challenge: "The fire is when you win a lot of games, which is better than when you are losing, but we accept this. We have to move forward and break it and try."

0-4 Tottenham


Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports: "We do not expect opponents to not create chances and score goals. We're in the moment. We started really well, we had chances and after the first time they arrive we concede. Then it's a bit more difficult to come back.

"Chances were there. The moment they create the chances the build-up, we coudn't handle the duels like normally. Now we're struggling a little bit.

"It cannot happen. When you play top level teams we can concede chances but it's part of process. In our situation it's a bit tougher.

"I have to see the situation. The players came back late [from internationals]. There were a few reasons we're not able to be consistent. Now the balance is not in the right moment. But it happened. We have to do it, talk and on Tuesday against Feyenoord have the chance to try.

"Of course Rodri is important but we knew that for many months. But Stones can only play 45 minutes. Jack has been injured many times. Kevin, two months and five months.

"We have to come back and freshen our minds. The season is so long. Many things can happen.

"Before the game I didn't know what will happen today. So I don't know what will happen at Anfield. Everyone knows the situation is new for us. We struggled more without the ball. I don't know how many chances we created. Our game was there."

C'mon Baldy, these players have been losing duels repeatedly in this run of games, why expect it to be different? The only discernible difference is that against Sporting & Brighton we looked alright for 45 minutes, rather than 10, but the outcomes matched the overall performances
