I take it you were outstanding?

Like a farmer in his field?

 

[Bald fraud]

I'll also add

The Europa League trophy is a fucking belter.

Let’s go and win the fucker! Another one ticked off the list. It’s a major pot when the rags or dippers win it!

We really didn't play that badly. The difference is taking chances. For whatever reason, we struggle massively to score, whilst the opposition seem to score at every opportunity.

Yes, the midfield is a little lacking and so are the tactics here and there........but honestly, I believe when it just not going for it's just not going for you.

We have a fantastic few years.....keep the guard up, chin protected and we'll come out ready to go again.

We can't win everything all the time.

And Spurs didn't play that well either. Not being used to that result is going to have a chastening effect on a few of our fans but we'll have to take it on the chin.

Ah I just seen it.
You only post when we lose.
Fuck me not another red mardarse.

Ah ok. Another happy clapper.

 

[I'm Blue]

First off i fancied us to get something today.
Players back from injury, Pep’s new deal, Rodri being back in the building.
Silly me I thought we might be up for it and at least show some fight.
How wrong was I?
We were fucking appalling yet again.
We can’t pass, we can’t run, we can’t tackle, we certainly can’t defend.
Ake defended better on his own when he come on than the entire back 4 did in the first half.
We are absolutely outstanding at missing chances though.
We’ve got treble winners in this team, current PL champions yet it doesn’t look like it.
Yes there’s no Rodri, there’s injuries and we’re out of form but we shouldn’t be this shit!
So I begin to wonder again what’s actually going on.
I starting to believe the players know the outcome of the 115.
I really hope I’m wrong but something is off big time.
We keep hearing about this ‘war chest’ well we need one now more than ever.
Walker, Stones, Gundogan, Bernardo and maybe Kev are looking like their time is coming to an end.
We are an ageing squad and it’s showing.
Grealish needs to go also, not enough goals or assists, he’s a great team player but we need to get back to being scary to play against rather than an easy push over with not much goal threat.
This team is lacking goal scorers all over the pitch.
Without Haaland we’d be about 8th.
(Yes he was shit today)
It’s gonna get much much worse yet.
Honestly can’t believe the shit I’m watching at the minute, considering the manager and the talent in this team.
In case you’re wondering I’m fuming.

You're a wum

How am I a wum? You quoted that BBB about three replies so I was just checking you didn’t have some kind of disorder-cum-mental episode?

Again then, how am I a wum ??

 

[Ajm1985]

ive said elsewhere we couldnt do worse than throw OReilly in there.....but I just dont think he wants to put that pressure on the kid....or maybe he aint ready....

Gundo is finished if his present form is anything to go by...he has been awful in every game he has played...he neither adding goals, control, assists and has never been able to defend

Nunes is ok bu he aint the quality you need

Bernardo has been run into the ground....he isnt the answer on his own

When the midfield is getting destroyed every game, you have to adapt and we haven't. I don't think Nunes is what we need in possession, but there is literally no point fixating on having more possession when it amounts to nothing in an attacking sense & the players are massively detrimental out of possession. However, mixing it could work and Nunes' negatives would be outweighed by us not being so flaccid in transition

Crazy part is we started really well I thought, first ten mins.

Just read another poster saying how mental it is for our tactic to stretch teams and then our adancing players being the likes of Walker and Gvardiol. Bang on, we need actual threats getting the ball in them area. Rinse and repeat with Pep, if boring a team to death with 100 passes on the edge of their box doesn't work then lets pass it another 100 times. That Spurs third goal was everything I wish we was, from their box to the back of our net in a matter of seconds. They won it back in their third so many times, played out and was on a threatening attack within seconds. I would kill for that again, like the Sane/Sterling days but no, we seem to think grinding teams down and boring them to death is the way forward. Not sure what the catalyst needs to be to give Pep a kick up the arse and look for other solutions.

We wasn't playing well when we was winning, we are now losing and deserving to. I don't know what the solution is but I would like to think the best manager in the world who gets paid more than most does.

 

[manimanc]

Ah ok. Another happy clapper.

Erm nope.
Just a realist.
Oh and a city fan too lol.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I thought Savio & Bernardo were ok

The rest, not so much


The changes were too late

Playing KDB on the right instead of the middle behind Haaland was another bad decision by Pep

Pep only brings Mcatee when there is 3 goals difference, was surprised not to see Pep bring him like usual !

With respect, Savinho had an absolute nightmare. I haven’t seen a City player give the ball away as much as he did today for years.
