[PepsFleece]

Clutching straws now Phil.

Raheem went into decline under Pep's style of play. Pep watched it happen and did nothing about it.

What you smoking bro?

 

[East Level 2]

Our end looked like a whist drive meeting on the telly. Time for the young. The points system is outdated.

Do you believe everything you see on the telly? Plenty of noise and enthusiasm for much of the game from my seat.

 

[decmancity]

Who’s the girl? Surely not Natalie?

nah someone else.

 

[avoidconfusion]

so we got beat but we've got off again with the Arse draw - still only 7 points

I don't know mate I feel like that makes it even worse - squandered another opportunity to catch up to Arsenal.

Watch United completely fold when they play Arsenal too.

 

[Blue Hefner]

As is your right. It's all about personal opinions.

Would you seriously sack Pep now?

 

[SWPISHOME]

FACT 1. Raheem Sterling wasn't signed by Pep.

FACT 2. Raheem's performances went into decline under Pep.

FACT 1. Sterling played the best football of his career under Pep.

FACT 2. Sterling's time at City ran it's course and it was the correct time to part ways.

FACT 3. Since Sterling has left City he's been abysmal at Arsenal and Chelsea, he needs to look in the mirror.

Just seen the assault on Doku by Dalot on MOTD. That pathetic, spineless VAR decision gives every professional player carte blanche to clog opponents at will provided they are within a yard of the ball.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Think that's a fair assessment. We've got lots of talented lads but not many you'd want in the trenches. Doku, Phil, Erling are all very lightweight.

Our last two performances at OT have been embarrassing beyond belief. On a ground we have a great record under Pep and zero reason to go all nervous nelly and not compete

 

[East Level 2]

The importance of Walker is starting to come to fruition now.

It's not only the importance of Walker but the utter stupidity of not replacing him immediately with an out and out right back. Nunez cost us loads of points last season getting used to the role and he's still prone to the odd error due to being played out of position.

 

[Tomblue]

so we got beat but we've got off again with the Arse draw - still only 7 points

Your name is very appropriate, you’ve clearly been at the disco and had one too many disco biscuits. Arsenal could lose another 10 at this rate and still pull away from us. Make no mistake we are in a top 4 battle at best.

 

[DiscoSteve]

FACT 3. Since Sterling has left City he's been abysmal at Arsenal and Chelsea, he needs to look in the mirror.

FACT 3. Too much looking at the mirror is probably why he's gone so shit - should be looking more at his boots!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Why would you watch it again?

sado masochism?

 

[Lavinda Past]

We’ve been out of the top flight more than 5 years in last 50 yrs haven’t we? I think 9

Just checked... 198 derbies in total, 100th was in 1980. As such, 98 derbies in the last 46 years.

The guy could be absolutely right and I see no reason to doubt him.

 

[Silvatoure21]

Not lost it at all, I just feel dissapointed that we didnt even turn up today

Yeah. It was total shit. I like to look positively and see that we have 3 draws and a loss in our last 4 epl games yet we are 7 points back. I’ll take that

 

[eyalluvitt]

He'll probably be off on loan at Everton with Jack next January. Another 'maverick' having his wings clipped by Pep.

Vinny will energize him back to his Bournemouth best

 

[East Level 2]

I would seriously look at our medical/conditioning team. Just seems odd that we get so many injuries 2 seasons in a row

Medical team seem fairly useless but the lack of rest for several summers hasn't helped, nor has going balls-deep in so many cup competitions. - And the ridiculous amount of international football.

 

[eyalluvitt]

KDB was a one off. However we do need a dynamic ball carrying midfielder, who is hard to knock off the ball and can break the lines.

He is a massive miss v the big boy teams

 

[Lavinda Past]

Would you seriously sack Pep now?

Yes. I still believe that he should have left after we won the CL. He's stale and his tactical / selection decisions are frequently open to question.

 

[WestGorton]

Do you believe everything you see on the telly? Plenty of noise and enthusiasm for much of the game from my seat.

I'm old. We need more energy. Not me. It's a general point rather than about today.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Yes. I still believe that he should have left after we won the CL. He's stale and his tactical / selection decisions are frequently open to question.

He had a very bad day at the office today, I accept that

However, he’s managed to get this squad to 2nd in the league, the final of the Caraboe, almost knock out stages of the Champs League and we’ll see about the FA Cup

That isn’t easy with Nunes at right back, no goal scoring wingers and a midfielder at left back

I think he’s done a good job this season
