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.

You mean like the first half dozen games this season?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.

sssssssssshhhhhh, don't tell the bookies. Keep making the dosh.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.
Or ended up 3-3 like last seasonWouldn't of mattered we would of tired and lost 2-4 anyway.

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.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

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

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