[Bournemouth Blue]

I was expecting City to respond today, the first ten minutes seemed fine. I was disappointed with the other eighty. There is something wrong, not just the injuries.

Nunes legs cud of been a good option looking at gundog pointing g at everyone whilst treading through treacle lack of legs in the middle is the most worrying thing for me.

We let Gundo go to Barca. And their he should of stayed and been there problem. Do you think if Gundo was playing well and playing his part Barca would of wanted rid. I got slated for saying it was a bad move. He was great but he was on his swan song when he left for Barca. Our midfield is becoming a retirement home.

They need to die for the shirt, no commitment, shitting out of tackles, lungs should be burning tracking back ! They're playing in our shirt that us fans would run through brick walls for

Just think of all the rags and dippers feasting their sore eyes on some of these comments - not a good thought.

Who gives a fuck about what they think?

Said after the bournemouth, Brighton and Sporting games, the problems aren't with the players, it's a major tactical problem that doesn't get sorted until tactical changes are made. The injuries merely masked and offered an excuse for poor losses but I said after those games it will carry on even with most of the squad available if we setup the same way and look what's happened now.

A humiliating home defeat to a midtable spurs side who didnt perform all that well themselves, got beat at home to ipswich last game and was soundly booed off and who were without both their starting centre backs. If anybody is still clinging on to the excuse it will get better with certain players available I suggest they wake up. This will repeatedly happen until the formation changes.

We are constantly outnumbered when defending, no professional football club should be finding themselves putnumbered or at best man for man every single time the opposition attack, it's Sunday league amateur level of defending. If the opposition get things right, there's simply nothing we can do to prevent it, we're consistently gambling on them fucking up easy chances.

The press is the core problem, it is fucking dreadful! we've got slow players that can't get there, mainly the midfield, We've got players who run and put on the illusion of a press but never, ever make any real effort to win the ball back, predominately the front line and thus may aswell not bother and we've got players who just launch forward way out of position when the press has already failed, namely yhe defensive unit and none of them ever show any desire to get back into position or behind the ball once they've been easily bypassed.

Pep has had 2 weeks to think of something different to salvage the season. Today should have seen change if it was going to happen, he came up with nothing but a slight tweak that made us even worse, can't see how he changes anything this year if it didn't come today. If we play the same way nect weekend, were going to get annihilated at Anfield who thrive off doing the thing we're most vulnerable to and that will see us 11 points behind them. If that happens that will be the title gone by the first day of December, we won't be able to stop that gap growing nevermind close it

Absolutely spot on.

Loads of things going on. No point digging out individuals or anything like that - seems like the whole team isn’t mentally there and/or there is a disconnect between the players and what Pep is trying to do (although Pep could do with being less stubborn just for once because some players are out on their arses knackered).

The likes of Savinho and Rico weren’t meant to be starting every game week in week out. I feel sorry for them - they’re trying their best but it’s not coming off for them at a time when everything else around them is falling apart.

Gundo wasn’t also brought back to start every match. I think Pep needs to start being a bit more innovative now, especially with the likes of McAtee - it can’t get any worse than it is now?

Injuries haven’t helped but can’t be an excuse for other disjointed performances. Kev looks like fitness is an issue and Phil looks like he’s lost his confidence and swagger.

The defence - don’t even know where to start but I don’t believe the players we have at our disposal have magically forgotten how to defend. We could do without Walker and Gvardiol being used like wingers just for starters.

Oh and those predictable voices calling out Grealish in this thread - can you please kindly fuck off for one night? We actually played better as a team when he and Kev came on and he hasn’t player for a fucking month but you’re so pathetic you just can’t help yourselves.

Agree with every single sentence.

More captains than statues.

Not one true leader in that team today.

Stands out a mile, no bollocks whatsoever from any of the players.

There is mate. They are spent. They've give their all for the last 4 years. If fans can't grasp that they shouldn't be watching football games.

 

[Shuffs]

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.

Will never leave early + will never boo. If you stay and gloat after a 4-0 win, you stay and take your medicine after a 4-0 loss. We have all got eyes this current team has got problems but we’re still city.. we never win at home and we never win away!!!!!
