Well l will start with those supporters who left early a load of fucking tossers and bloody entitled wankers they were a disgrace. I'm fucking boiling

Well I am not apologising, normally leave with a couple of minutes of injury time to go but went when the clock hit 86:30.

I am nearly 80 and it is a hell of a walk from block 211 to the Metrolink, made worse by the shocking drainage around the stadium. Also a 5:30 kick off for a Saturday league match is just stupid.

Nothing to do with the team I went there expecting to lose as we frankly are shocking this season. I will be back for the next league match with another ridiculous kick-off time.

You leave when you want and when you feel you have to mate, never mind the "I'm the best supporter because I stay and mow the fucking pitch" brigade.

It’s (relatively) awful and it already was, well before the 5 defeats.

Too many players shouldn’t be here anymore (some of Walker, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo). Pep got it wrong by taking Walker for dinner and persuading him to to stay 2 years ago. We should have got Frimpong or Porto then.

We have one of the best goalscorers in the world but we don’t play to his strengths.

We play possession based football, but don’t have the same level of players on the ball anymore.

Pep hasn’t really innovated for two years and everything is now so predictable.

Dias is a natural leader, leads by example and is vocal, but has been overlooked as captain by Kyle bloody Walker. ‍

We spent 100m on a midfielder (Jack) who is creative and exciting, but is only ever allowed to be tied to the left wing.

Doku & Savio are currently lower-mid-table standard players. They should be coming on with 20mins to go if we’re 2-0 up.

Where the fuck is the Phil of last season?!

Things just aren't clicking at the minute. Passing is of by a few inches, decision making is a few milli seconds of. Shots just abit of. Players not fully fit. Players of the pace coming back. The world's best player out for the season. Team is struggling and lacking confidence. Team struggling to cope with all of this.
Plus everything that could go wrong is going wrong.
Add into the mix we are everyone's cup final ! I bet spuds lose their next game ;)

This team needs support now.

According to some it seems our players take an eternity to be fit and when they get there they become exhausted with all the football they have played. I'm not having the not fit excuse anymore.

I'm going with we just ain't as good as we used to be and Pep can't or won't change the way we play to compensate.

I suppose we hope for seemless transitions and we have been pretty darn good at it but this time the new guys aren't as good as hoped so far(if ever) just as the superstars of the team are fading.

Shit happens so I would personally set the hopes this season lower than normal, if we win something, it will be a stress free Bruce bonus.

Let's not turn on the players though, no harm saying someone isn't good enough or past their bes,t its a foitball forum for discussion not a bloody cult, but disputing their efforts isn't on really.

The Biggest Bestest Blues will continue to annoy with their inarticulate William Wallace/Churchill tribute acts though I fear:-)

5 would have been truly epic but you can't really expect epic or it wouldn't be called epic:-)

 

[cordonbleu]

Got to applaud them for the effort. Actually think the workrate got better the worse it got. Christ this team has character.

Big improvement after Lewis went off. Grealish makes us less counter vulnerable because he just doesn't give the ball away.

Rodri absence is obviously critical but recruitment is biting us in the proverbial. We are nowhere near replacing Mahrez. Our replacement wide players have no where near same end product

Watching a different match? The 4th goal we conceded was created by his inexplicable, silly "Grealish square ball".

They wash the players cars on the way out as well and salute them on their way:-)

 

[hilts]

Rag?! No. And that’s a fucking insult

What it is, is positive and realistic way of looking at our recent history and dominance, but that is clearly lost on our new, glory hunting, spoilt twat ‘fans’

Except its not as we haven't lost 5 on the bounce before under Pep, so no it's not really realistic.

Commenting on what you see isn't glory hunting that's just rather stupid.

Note I didn't need to use the word twat:-)

But you just did

If we were winning 4-0 virtually the same amount would have left early as always, would you still be boiling?

 

[hilts]

Saying we will win the league is expecting, you didn't say you think we will win the league, you said we will. No doubt about it and that is arrogance. Recent history counts for diddly squat. Tomorrow we will probably go 8 points behind with Liverpool away to come, a place we have won once in what, 20 years or so? Do you count that recent history? History suggests that teams that lose 5 games on the spin, and deserve to lose them games, don't go on to have a successful season.

The continual chest thumping has affected his noggin I fear:-)
