We've lost 3 times to them this season. Trying to wiggle out of it by talking up the definition of what is being bossed etc is silly.

No mate, it isn't silly at all, I am a stickler when it comes to semantics and I detest 'bluemoon' (and MEN) negativity for the sake of negativity, particularly when it doesn't depicts what happened in 96 minutes. It's easy to repeat platitudes 'we were bossed', 'Ota is shit' i 'Gundo is no good', and the newest one 'Rodri is mediocre'. Being bossed is not when a ref sees a faoul when there is no foul; being bossed is not when VAR dude tries to breaks down Kun's upper body anatomy from 60 yards away; being bossed is not when the very same Kun falls asleep at a free kick; being bossed is not when Raz went back from hero to zero and is not able to connect with 100% sitter; ......, I am just saying, I am pissed off because of losing, particularly losing to this lot, but being bossed in footballing terms means something completely different.
 
Agree, I'd love us to win both the CL pot (to stick two fingers up to FFP crooks) and the FA cup but can't see us winning either on tonight's performance and given the CL mafia will see key decisions go against us if we do play well enough to win.

We aren't winning the champions league with our defence even with Laporte in it, unless we have a huge slice of luck along the way. Worst the goals have dried up by our standards putting even more pressure on a creaking defence and suddenly jittery keeper.

Individually and collectively we are a good 30% below last seasons form. IF we get everyone fit and performing to what they are capable of we have an outside chance.

The fact that we have performances in us like this just give me no confidence about success in the CL. A shite 45 mins seems to be able to strike at any time and we're hopeless with that kind of inconsistency.

Turning up once every handful of games is a VERY risky way of doing business.

Quite apart from this being a derby, we’ve now lost 25% of our league games.

Several important players are well off their games. Add a couple of key injuries and we are looking a bit ragged-arsed much of the time.

Corky hates Pep. Pines for Peter Reid.

Mel Machin actually. Not sure what the new boys will do when Pep goes in May after refusing to sign a new contract beyond 2021.

Leaving us in a far worse position than he took over, and no one sensible would argue about that.

How we have lost to these rag bastards three times this season, I have no idea. I’ve said this before but it’s frustrating because these are some of the best days in our history whilst they’re currently shite and we really should be battering them every match. We won’t be this good forever and they won’t be this shit forever, that’s just how football is.

Very deflating after recent results but we’ve got a big CL game coming up which is more important and I’d rather we won that.

We have battered them for the past decade...hopefully it continues.
 
Lots of over reaction after that game. All I heard all game was Sterling/Cancello/Mahrez/Rodri etc are shit. End of the day, wrong starting 11 were picked and breaks didn’t go for us. Never a free kick for the goal and then Dean managed to book Ferny and Rodri as a result, not sure why. That nullified their roles somewhat for the rest of the game. Liner guessed offside on Sergio and I still can’t see what was offside. Said before the game we will see ‘operation get the rags into the top 4’ which was even more important after Chelsea’s win. Never going to win today and Pep knew we have more important games coming hence the starting 11 and the subs.

this is why I rarely discuss football anymore outside of here, nobody is able to look at a game like that anymore
Lose shit, win all is ok

we’re Ederson remembering his brain and Sergio being 3 CMs further back from being 1-0 ,
 
MoonDog said:
Solid analysis. He says hopefully Sane comes back soon so Sterling can go back on the right.

Can someone explain to me why the f*ck this can’t happen with Mahrez? He’s left footed and can’t play on the left and be interchangeable with Sterling?
Click to expand...
Yep, left footed Mahrez never gets to play on the left, baffling isn't it?
 
This was an important game.If the shit qualify for the CL and our ban gets overturned then we will be competing with them for the very best players.No disrespect to Sheffield United and Wolves but a top player is more likely to join us than those 2 clubs even if they are in the CL
