Great I can get back to watching paint dry now

Watching dried paint more interesting than that.

He probably needs a ride and to stop over analysing everything…

I found him frustrating when we had those early league and CL battle with the dippers and he’d literally lose his fucking mind and spit his dummy out every game which would conspire to see us lose…..

Peps not perfect but he needs someone to take the pressure off him or at least someone to tell him it’s ok …take a break, come back when your right..

Could be. Difficult to lose a wife and maybe needs a time of refreshment or a break. He won't get that this Summer with so much football to manage.

big rebuild needs to happen and emotions are last thingss taken into account. do we love Gundo, Bernardo, KDB? yes. did they deliver a lot for us over the years? yes.
should we build around them going forward?
not at all.

same could be said about either Stones or Ake. Grealish as well. etc.

spot on

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

When do we start worrying about foden?

When do we see Echeverri?

 

[Marvin.]

The rebuild is going to be bigger than we thought......

No it isn't. No City fan should have been surprised at what we watched. Our midfield includes 33 and 34 year old players and we were missing Rodri and Haaland. I am quite happy with that result although it was a horrible game.

It should be entirely expected though.

Nottingham Forest will be licking their lips watching that. How are we going to break them down? And unlike Man Utd, Forest have very good counter-attacking players.

When do we start worrying about foden?

Yesterday

 

[Rammy Blue]

I so so hope Pep can do it again with the rebuild, but seeing that selection and subs makes me have severe doubts that he’s capable.

 

[SWPISHOME]

When do we see Echeverri?

When he's on loan at Girona.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Are we trying to get a CL place or a Thursday night match? Midfield and attack today too old,slow and weak!!

Agree fully mate.

But tbf, who else could we have picked in midfield?

The shit fact is we’ve had FOUR midfielders all fall off a cliff in their mobility scooters at the same time. I can’t blame Pep for that.

 

[blue whippet]

All smiles and handshakes pre-game
All pats on the back and helping each other up off the floor during the game.
All smiles and handshakes post-game.

Yes, I turned it off as soon as I saw that at the end.
My rag supporting other half burst out laughing at me stomping and ranting about the house at the result, tactics, zimmer frame midfield and mutual love in after final whistle.

 

[BlueFurn]

Mate, you could have gone to the pub, drank piss, got home and fucked the cat……and that would have been more exciting than the game.

Quite a good report… you write for the MUEN?

 

[Fordyboy46]

just signed the best young talent in South America. And where is he? You can’t tell me he’s worse than dad’s army today. No fucking way!!!!

No idea what is going on, where the fuck is Echeverri and Bobb missing again today after getting five minutes last Wednesday

 

[daveiw01]

Its entirely the point, we arent entitled to a damn thing and we are having an off season and given the injuries we have had this season its a fucking miracle we are where we are so of course 5th isnt what we want or what we are used to but you have to look at the season and whats occured in it and accept the reality of that

I've been a Blue since I was 10, I'm nearly 60 now, I know we are entitled to nothing, we're not united, or liverpool, we earn our position, as it stands, we MAY earn 5th, or possibly 4th, but whatever happens we'll hopefully build and improve again, if not changes will be made.

 

[Protein Junkie]

On any day we are not going to win it,,ffs don’t lose especially those wankers.

 

[applecentral]

Two years ago we were playing seriously high-calibre football, not just beating teams like Madrid, Bayern, Arsenal, but fucking brutalizing them.
From that to this. Fuck me.
Crap set up and shape. Can‘t play out from the back. Can‘t move the ball through the middle of the pitch. No creativity. No cohesion. No plan.
Shit team selections. Shit subs.

Apart from that, ok?.

 

[Lowtower]

When do we see Echeverri?

Probably start him at centre back in the FA Cup semi

 

[johnny crossan]

thought I'd postpone my utterances until after Pep tells us we played well - not long now

 

[simon23]

When do we see Echeverri?

a kid who has never played in the league and wasnt even a regular for River plate.....yeah ok

This Echeverri shit needs to stop... exciting player he might be but he clearly aint ready

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Scariest thought is Pep will go sentimental again for Wembley.

Won't get away with that.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

I'm going to assume Guardiola's contract gives him some huge payout if he gets sacked and nothing if he resigns.

This is the generous take on his performance this season.
