Haaland may as well have played center half today as he was totally anonymous upfront.

 

[Master-Lotus]

Fucking hell... frying pan and fire. Vinny isn't good enough. Ignore Bayern, look at Burnley.

Kompany or Enrique are the only decent choices. Enrique is leaving PSG this Summer, if a rumour about Pep leaving this Summer as well is true, we're most likely going to have him as his successor.

I'm going to struggle to ever watch any highlights of that game again. Tough

Well i simply WON'T be watching those highlights ever again ...... as far as I'm concerned today's derby match is history now, and thats exactly where I'm gonna leave it ... in the past !

There was nothing that City did today that I'd ever want to see again anyway.

I will just focus on this week's trip to Bodo ... and the Wolves match, which I now see as 'must win'.

We'd have lost by three more... he'd have played them all onside.

 

[levets]

The rebuild doesn't happen overnight ? Also, building that winning mentality takes time as well
What was the record today, unbeaten in 11 or something, so it progresses

The squad is still not right and 4 or 5 places are up for grabs ? 4 keepers is wrong, Phillips hanging around Stones never fit enough, Ake can not play 3 games a week. Grealish out on loan

This summer is the most important period for Pep and City, they must clear the deadwood and get the 2 keepers and release Stones Ake and sell Phillips, Grealish. and a couple more Like Bobb and Lewis

Unbeaten in 13 (all comps) before today

He's looking dreadful of late, like he's had a bet with Foden as to who can be the shittest. Lol

Arsenal can defend Sunday league hoof ball better than us

Arsenal play with pace, strength and a decent level of skill. Most of their opponents play with pace and strength but with less skill. That skill gap is the reason Arsenal are top of the Prem.
We are still wedded to tactics based primarily on skill, which is great when it works but rather unsettling when we get clogged out of games or when the radar of individual players is slightly off. And those tactics just become impossible when the difference in pace is unsurmountable.

 

[East Level 2]

They have been our best players, because Pep and the team have coached them. It’s not an accident

No other manager in the league could get Nunes anywhere near being a serviceable right back. Certainly not Maresca or any of these mid managers that have been linked

Perhaps they'd have just bought an actual right back in the first place.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Wow, love to know what your on…

Too long in the tooth to be too depressed about it. Got 3 books from the library beforehand (helps with sleeping before bed) & went & swam 40 lengths after the game and before posting that. Dont get me wrong i hate losing but i cant handle being too down for too long so i have to get over it & look forwards. As it turns out Arse drew so coulda been much worse. Man Yoo may beat Arsenil in 2 weeks & they play Chelsea too quite soon. Lets see what happens after the Anfield game football is a funny old game. Up the blues...keep the faith.

 

[Sergio<3]

Team full of soft bastards, absolutely bullied, will be same again at Anfield in a few weeks

 

[Blue Hefner]

I agree. But the club does seem to have a policy of ‘Pep will sort it’

Agree.

It would be nice if he actually ran around a bit more ! Great players create their own opportunities.

 

[hilts]

I fear Semenyo won't get half the joy playing for us than he did for Bournemouth. He will soon have to revert to how Jack played for us, run at the full back, stop and pass back

Stay wide pass pass pass, so good today he was so good

 

[BlumerMooner]

Fucking hell... frying pan and fire. Vinny isn't good enough. Ignore Bayern, look at Burnley.

So who are we more likely matched to, Bayern or Burnley? Even Pep wouldn’t have kept Burnley up.

Kompany is learning and with his passion and love of city, in my opinion, I think he would be ideal candidate.

Imagine Zab as his number two. Certainly wouldn’t lose through lack of trying, unlike today…

 

[Eaststander1]

but there is a lot of none city fans on here who pop up Everytime we have bad result!

Lol, I'm afraid you're always gonna get that ..... some people will always enjoy rubbing salt in the wound, and 'jumping on the back' of any City defeat is an ideal time for them to do it !

 

[Goodlove]

Obviously he was, but on the same basis, he was also instrumental in Sterling's decline.

Or old Father Time caught up with him

Bayern play very attractive football. I've seen them once but am happy to stand by the opinion....they were good to watch today.

Not for me, sorry mate.

Ex-players tend not to make good managers, usually due to weight of fans' expectations.

More chance of Arteta being a success at City than Kompany.

I’m not having Pep being responsible for Sterling’s fall off. 1) Pep made him who is was and 2) he’s played for 3 other managers since and done fuck all
