Wow you really are upset aren’t you? You must’ve been suicidal back in the day. Glad you came through it because you’ve been lucky to witness some great times under Pep.

I really hope he comes back soon. He is the reason we did not go for another creative mid after David left and now that is one of areas we seem to be severely suffering (To be a creative presence and share the workload with Kevin).I do, he's nowhere near what he was.
Again we didn’t take our chances.
We can’t expect to create 20 clear chances a game. Defensively a solid performance but our attack let us down.
Sterling should have scored when he dribbled past a few players in the box. Then the Mahrez pass to Jesus where he volleyed it over the goal, another clear chance. The Jesus to De Bruyne to Mahrez action, again clear clear chance, Mahrez needs to be scoring there. De Bruyne himself should have scored at one point.
We need to be more clinical. 0-0 after so many clear chances created is poor.

No he hasn’t Marvin. He’s our only truly world class player we have. Take him him out and we lose our creativity and driving force. His work rate is sensational. Worryingly he looks like he’s frustrated and it’s affecting him because we just don’t have anyone to take advantage of his speed of thought and passing accuracy. He would be sensational at a team like Bayern with all those technical and pacy players. He needs Bernardo and Phil alongside him and Sergio up top to start seeing the best of him.KDB has been a bit off all season. No one seems willing to accept this. I prefer playing FOden and Bernado and pressing the opponent. When we started KDB, Rodri and Fern we were saying have the ball at the back and take your time and they did.
Anyone think this new pragmatic way of playing from pep might be with one eye on the champions league late stages ?
In peps time here mostly we’ve played amazing attacking football, and been knocked out in Europe each time , mostly on away goals (Spurs,Monaco) or conceding too many (Liverpool) or the unexplainable loss to Lyon last season .
This new pragmatic way of playing isn’t very exciting in big games , but I actually think it would suit us well in Europe.
Not conceding then nicking an away goal .
We definitely need to improve going forward but good to see us solid defensively .
As for the game itself , the quicker it’s forgotten about the better .
Quick mention for stones aswell , he was brilliant , I’ll be honest I’d wrote him off .
It’s great to see him playing for us again and hope it continues and he has a future at he club .

It's the way footballers are nowadays mate, all pally pally with one another.
I hate to see it too but then I remind myself that Summerbee and Best were actually in business together off the pitch.
We have sorted the defensive issues out to a great extent, but our midfield and strikers are way off the pace.
This summer transfer window we have going to have to spend very big or face the fact we won't be seeing the title again for a long time.

Who cares, I support City and our performance was poor, this is a very poor rag team and we made them look decent.I bet the Rags are happy with the result and their performance
It was not long ago we were creating chances for fun and scoring for fun, we are far from that at this time.We created two very good chances that we should have buried.
If people say that it was a good point against a counter attacking side than we can forget even top 4.teams will apply similar tactics and we cannot be happy with a point.
L against Spurs Leicester and a draw against Dippers and Rags. If this record continues against top half of table then
