Too many points frittered away at home this season. You can't do that if you have aspirations of winning the title.

Agreed! Navas on the other hand...What an absolute tosser you are. You sound like an entitled Rag! This is a fella that we got for a bargain price. He has helped win two titles for us and a number of other trophies and been an absolute professional throughout. Not a minutes problem at any point. He wasn't the worst player on the pitch tonight. I am beginning to really despair at some of our so called fans. Give your head a wobble fella. Get a grip and listen to yourself.

We were flat but I think people are creating a crisis out of nothing again, as I said in the match thread they were a back 6 at times even on a counter I saw 3 blue City shirts in their half and 8 still back in theirs. When teams are playing like that you could do with extra men in their half to catch them by surprise and keep them from getting comfortable by outnumbering us.
Simply put we could have done with some top attacking fullbacks to help us along to get that vital 1st goal, we don't have that... we haven't had many nights like tonight to put up with, any team in the world is capable of a flat performance... any talk that we haven't moved on/progressed as a team from the Pellegrini era shows a lack of basic understanding of football IMO.

He didn't do much wrong. Beat his man and put in a couple of decent crosses but as usual nobody much in the box.
You're wasting your breath. He was marked as the fall guy before a ball was kicked today.
Crap.
KDB going missing yet again when he should be bossing these matches.
Not alone...
Fernandinho again...
Clichy....
Navas...
Gods sake Pep, massive error resting Sterling and Silva, their professional athletes and Sterlings practically still a kid. All momentum from good run of games lost by that poor team selection and a tough March to follow, so frustrating!!!!

oh my god. a decent post with lots of common sense. +1. 0-0 against a very well organized team and some on here are having a meltdown.
yes he did put in some good crosses but that intelligence to get a favourable situation either by beating his man and venturing into the box or making a low pass after clever play rather than just hitting a cross into the box and hoping knowing that your CF isn't the tallest of guys is always lacking. The moment I saw Navestock on the team sheet, I thought, 'oh my God'. I'd much rather have Nolitone startHe didn't do much wrong. Beat his man and put in a couple of decent crosses but as usual nobody much in the box.

What about all the quality crosses Sane on the other side put in? They were pretty much all poor today. We have struggled to break teams down this season at home. So many winnable games not won even with our strongest team playing.
i wouldn't disagree...but navas has been doing the same thing since day one of his arrival...plus he cant take a man on and offers zero goal threat EVER!...he should never play for us again and I consider him extremely lucky to be still getting any game time....the drop off in quality is frightening when he plays..he wasn't the only poor one ( have said that in other posts) as KDB ferna were also really poor, Sane not much better either...the difference is that navas shouldn't be getting game time as its guaranteed that you get an ineffectual performance from him....
