Then we will have to disagree mate..I think he will be very good once he gets fully fit and free from injuries.
As for the game itself Pep fucked up big time by not playing Walker and Mendy from the start.
As much as I love Raz he's not played well for ages..he needs to come on when we aren't struggling and get his confidence back.
I felt sorry for Foden in the 1st half as he never got the ball..looked so much better when he moved more central.
No matter how we sugarcoat it we lost to a fucking shite team .

It was like watching City v Burnley. The famous 1-10-0 formation.

So much depends on the cb recruitment. We need to get it right. Get that and a lot of our problems go away.

while i partially agree with you (Centre half is a huge issue and i think we need two) - we are also going to lose David Silva and Sane this summer- We know Foden will replace silva but there is a drop off in quality there and thats not a slight on foden as Silva is truely world class

The loss of Sane (cheaply) will really fuck us over - he hasnt helped this situation but allowing himself to be openly courted by B.Munich

We are going to have to deal with not having Kun at the top of his game as well....its obvious he is half a yd off his peak now and that aint going to improve next year - and how the hell do you replace him (please dont say Gabby!!!)

Ederson had a mare

Pep not taking sterling off was ridiculous.

Fuck it, I hate it but, but will not let rags drag me down

this, love Sterling, great talent but at this time he does not deserve to start. He had not earned this start over gabby and Mahrez.
I don't believe Pep intentionally sodded this off thinking ahead to the gunners either. I just think he got complacent in his set up thinking or just got it wrong.
And our lack of effort was a huge point as well.
Scum might be crap, but they are quick enthusiastic crap. taken for granted somewhat today.
Gundy, Rodri. We all know too slow together and not enough impetus going forward.
Experienced Walker should have started over cancelo, way better defensively and for all of cancelo's supposed skill I think walker is better going forward, he doesn't piss around with it,
stays out wide, can cross just as well, is faster, and can get in behind on the over lap.
can be second guessed to death, but mendy, and walker in back, rodri off, zin left mid and gabby for sterling, would have been nice.
 
Awful today - get this season over with ASAP. 2-0 to that shower? Did all the things we do badly today, officials didn't help but we keep trying to walk the ball in, no-one tries a simple shot, couldv'e played all week and not had a decent effort, sick of it.

How can anybody say they're not bothered by losing to the worst rag team for years three times this season. They were woeful today, we were on a par with them, the warning signs have been there ever since we beat Madrid, performances after have been shit, including Villa last week where we sneaked the win. We're in easy street until we play the return leg of the champs league where we'll no doubt be busting a gut.
Not good enough for me, we should be up for every game no matter who we play.

Im bothered, but not that bothered. If (I know it’s a big if) we win the fa cup and/ or the cartel league then this will be forgotten in the final reckoning

Madrid are an excellent pressing team and generally much better than the rags. A CL knockout game at Bernabeu is much more difficult than a game at Manure without any significance for the title.

but its not at the bernabeu - its at our place.....

Individual mistakes have cost us this season.
