Stoke away post match thread

Blame injuries, blame Toure, blame Dzeko but slow tempo is down to the manager and those other things are just a distraction. I'll never know why Delph didn't play again the manager. Truly bobbins performance.
 
Candy from a baby.
Pack the midfield and get the ball behind Kolarov attack the statuesc Demichalis and bang the goals rain in.
The frightening thing is that Hart had a Stormer doing enough to prevent goals from 3 one on ones.

Injuries be damned because toure has been as big a liability as anyone this season so far, add to that silva being back.

Ok no VK or Sergio, but lets be fair having signed otamendi(who i do actually rate)and bony(who i certainly dont), and with the mobile delph also back from injury, against stoke...you really should not have to rely on them to avoid an almost 5-0 dry bum scenario. Weird starting lineups seem like classic pellegrini at this point.

Mate, I have no answers to that. Everyone sees things differently, but today I thought the starting line up was wrong to start with and the substitution of Fernandinho beggared belief. Its Stoke away and we needed energy and to stay compact until we'd set the tempo. The players needed motivation and guidance when it was obvious things were going awry, but all we got was total inaction from Manuel.......... AGAIN!!

Don't like, and I don't think I have ever used before, the phrase "lost the dressing room" but it seriously looks as though they have stopped playing for him for whatever reason.

Spat with Kompany
Summer signings

Who knows but something is seriously wrong and the season is imploding by the minute.

Agreed. The Kompany incident is central to this, as it was the last time under Mancini. Also, get the feeling all is not well between Aguero and Pellegrini.
 
Gutless performance, I blame MCFC being soft with the players. Some of them should've been back for weeks now.......Aguero himself said he was ok so who's barring him from playing?
 
overpaid wankers led by the Chilean statue.

happening to often.

bony, Fernando, demicheless, sterling, sagna, kolorov.

6 out of the starting 11 were shocking.

inexplicable.
 
So that was tough to watch.


When you lose, you tend to focus on the negatives (BM's good at that) but when you reflect, you end up saying to yourself “if only that shot had gone in” or “if only that marginal offside had gone our way” or you notice we had more shots or possession despite the loss.


But today at Stoke was different. There were very few positives and it felt extremely flat: when Silva fails to play well and very few players step up to be counted, you can only expect one outcome. It was sad to see a number of players exposed so alarmingly.


The worst thing about today for me was the self-righteous caterwauling of a number of fans, almost the expectation to lose and the fulfliment and smugness of being right. This is worrying when it's coupled with losing and sadly the fear factor of the team looks to have temporarily disappeared.


Sort it out lads! Terrible day!
 
Shocking lack of defensive organization. No accountability either. Yaya fit? he plays. Aguero out? Bony plays. There is no competition for places. If you have a bad game or two you should be dropped. Doesnt happen.

Nobody-he was obviously injured-the issue is again going in with 2 strikers has meant that both have to play when they aren't fit-that just leads to more injuries. We had 4 strikers each time we won the league previously. Idiotic decision whoever made it.
 
There is something wrong at the club at the moment, I dont know what bt there is something. maybe the Pep stories are true and the players are just going through the motions for Pelle. You have to admit even the manager doesn't look too arsed at the minute. I can accept we will have bad days but we seem to be having too many of them of late.

"Miss me yet?"
 
So where's this "engineer" of a manager who organises a team and sends them out to beat the opposition they are facing?

Too depressed to write much more than that. Piss poor City. Piss poor.

Sterling best player today. Silva De Bruyne much worse.

Sterling looked like a 10 year old boy out there today mate, got schooled by Glen Johnson. One good delivery in second half, that was it all afternoon.

I agree with Silva though, but in fairness what can he do when we are lumping high balls into 70mph wind with no able target man or player over 5ft10 tall?? Didn't see our midfield give Silva the ball once on the deck.
