The last 15 mins of games...

I get the feeling City has given up on the Premier League and will be happy with 4th place, The desire is not there for me and when the going gets tough by the other team we buckle and have a soft underbelly,

Does it hurt them enough to lose or throw away 2 points when 2 up and only get a point, I know if Pep had a stronger fit squad then 5 or 6 players would not be playing or starting because they are ghosting in games
Its not desire. It's legs. They don't have the legs.
 
I agree with lots of comments on the last 15 minutes of games BUT when 3 up against Feyenoord Pep did what everyone was asking and replaced legs in midfield - cue a total collapse and conceding 3 goals

It has nothing to do with age or legs, it's the mindset and the hunger, Maybe they are not under pressure to produce results because of the past 10 years and 4 in a row. You do get the feeling that it's ok to come up short this season and maybe with injuries there is a reason to fall back on.

100% Pep would never let any of his players ghost in games and still be here if he had more options
 
Its not desire. It's legs. They don't have the legs.

They should have legs ? after 10 days of rest after West Ham at home, It is too easy for them to come up short this season because of injuries, Fitness and injuries clear up and players get time off, so I dont see why players not having legs at this stage of the season, it's playing with no pressure and mindset then desire and hunger you turn off as a team,

How can you question Pep and the players?, They have given us 10 years of greatness that will never be repeated
It's just the feeling I get watching City that its OK you have earned a sloppy season
 
Exactly. Either hit the target or keep possession. Don't blast it high and wide because it could cost us two points, which it did.
If only it was that easy. Just get every shot on target and never miss. No one ever misses.

Are you seriously suggesting that cost us 2 points? Not the entire defence or midfield collapsing, Haaland missing or Savinho not passing. Just that.

They didn't have the legs the whole game. It was just more glaring in the last 15 minutes. Brentford was better for large parts of th 2nd half

The longer the game goes the more our age shows. So its no surprise we tend to collapse late.

It was a terrible decision by Pep to take out Phil or to being in Gundo. Should have been Rico, O'Reilly's and Jack for Kova, Kev , and Bernado.

But most of them didn't play at the weekend vs Salford City, Also we have had 4 or 5 weeks of one game a week
Age is not the problem ? Maybe not having fullbacks and a holding midfield player is the problem

I am absolutely suggesting that a wayward shot cost us two points. To win the game all we needed to do was to keep possession of the ball for a few more minutes. We had seen how Brentford were capable of mounting very dangerous breakaway attacks in the last 20 or so minutes of the game. We had survived thanks to some brilliant defending from Guardiol and Ake but even so we had conceded a late goal. Keep the ball and win the game. Lose possession and drop two points.

He did the right thing , if it was on target and the keeper saved it they would have had possession anyway. Absolute nonsense to lay any blame at McAtees door
