You don't get it do you? I'm not kicking the club or the manager.. but I'm not happy with Txiki.

22 days in ZERO midfielders when we need at least 2.. most likely FIVE!
Let's hope Txiki pulls a few rabbits out of the hat in the next 10 days, then.

Either way, it changes nothing. The game happens on the pitch and we need full support there!
 
Don’t be a fucking Fanny wipe. We can all see we have issues. We were never gonna win The Champions League this season. We’ve just won four Premier Leagues in a row. FUCKING FOUR! I suppose you expect a treble every season? Any City fan with half a fucking brain can see it’s a season of transition. Top 4 will do for me. The quality of the Premier League this season is shit so we have every chance.

If you can’t cope with just one season of transition then you should really question whether you have the mental and emotional capacity to cope with football. At least I only have my eyesight to worry about.

I'll take a top 4 and CL qualification please.. that will satisfy me but I don't see us getting it with our current personnel.

What annoys me most is not the game today but the way we played.. and the upcoming games in Feb/ March. If that's the best we've got.. we're not getting close to top 4.

PSG played really well, have young hungry players with talent who are prepared to work and press. With the best will in the world, only Liverpool come anywhere close this season in The Premier League. We’re probably a bit worse than Arsenal too, but not by much. After that we’re as good as anyone. We have signings coming in and players coming back. I’m not saying it’s a certainty but we do have a good chance of top 4.
 
agreed...withuot a midfielder brought in who can then get upto speed very quickly we dont stand a chance.....we will need a huge amount of luck to get anything from Liverpool and Arsenal. Newcastle midfield could easily physically dominate us and will just then and Isak and co will have a free run at our back four
Spurs could beat us 4-0 or we could beat them 4-0 - both of us are poor

We could easily lose to forest away as well
 
Centre backs hmmm. Wonder why we need them?
Dias, Stones, Ake, Akanji. (Injuries)
That’s why. Clearly our two new guys have more potential than the youngsters we already have according to our director/s of football. We need full backs, midfield and a second striker too.
I know that. but its not like Dias/Akanji/Stones didnt get minutes tonight. However, we have ZERO legitimate RB, LB, DM plus any alternative to Haaland in the squad and this is far more critical than CB. Pep wont play the 3 kids anyway, so in the current situation what has been the point of it? If we were bringing in Baresi who would play straight away then fair enough, I'd at least understand that even if I thought other positions were more important. But throwing kids into this, it ain't happening with Pep.

Total stupidity, if we dont fix the more important positions. Verging on negligence!!
 
We're not able to hold onto a ball
We're not able to press
We have no midfield
We have no protection for our defense

We're just not good enough.. and it all starts at the top at Txiki. 22 days into January transfer window and no midfielder incoming when we clearly need at least 2 just to get top 4.

What exactly does bringing Gundogan on accomplish??
We lost leads vs Brentford and now PSG.
Lost leads vs Sporting, Feyenoord, United were no fluke..
THIS IS THE NEW MAN CITY!

34% possession..
We're not good enough..

Please tell me if you think I'm overreacting or misreading things but I don't see how we grind to top 4 with our current personnel in midfield.

And this is our schedule:

Definitely guilty of overreaction. Just get it off your chest in the post match thread or bump one of the numerous other ones from Nov/Dec that said the same thing.
 
You still don't get it, do you! Yeah, kick them while they are at their lowest!

And yes, I believe that this team will achieve your quoted target of top 4 finish, just have a bit of faith in them!
This team, not a chance. No idea what you have been watching to think like that.

With a new top RB, DM and Second Striker brought in before the end of JAN, then maybe we get 4th... With the fixtures coming up its far from guaranteed even if we get all of them. Been an absolute shit show. Lets hope we rescue the situation....
 
indeed rest of January and the whole February is gonna be sick hard.

next two in PL straightaway Chelsea and Arsenal. will be quite different than what we faced vs WHU and Ipswich and lot closer to Brentford and PSG...

we made this PSG team look great and strong and quick. they arent. look at their results in CL. beat underperforming Girona at home with 90th min own goal at home earlier.
yet they could have put 5-6 past us? because we let them.

watch closely when PSG will face Bayern or Real or Liverpool or Atletico or Inter in CL even Leverkusen...they will be put out of misery quick.
what does that say about us lol...
 
We need to back them Saturday all the way. Morale will be on the floor in the dressing room and in the stands. That’s when city fans are at our best. We are better than Chelsea. We need to win that game or I do fear the worst.
 
PSG are the best team we've played this season, albeit on that performance because I haven't seen them in any other games.

We've improved and hopefully the new signings will help us to get the requisite points to achieve a top 5 place which should see us in next seasons CL.

Correct.

We have problems, but PSG were excellent. Team full of pace, energy and threat, great subs to bring on and guys like Neves and Vitinha are so under rated.

You'd think by the reaction on here we had just lost at Shrewsbury.

You're over reacting....tonights result all be it very disappointing doesn't put us out.....beat brugge we qualify & then the new signings can play in the next phase of the tournament (or at least 2 can) As far as top 4 maybe 5 in the prem is concerned too qualify for next season's champions league is concerned what you worrying about?....there's a reason we're spunking hundred's of millions this window on our squad, they know what we know. Pull you're big boy pants up & put you're fanny wipes in the the nearest bin (not down the toilet you'll cause a blockage).....we're not winning the league this season, we know that, but still in with a shot of a champions league & fa cup double....keep the faith. We won fuck all from 76 to 2011 so any trophy is a blessing & even if we win nowt it wont be long till we win again.
