I am OK with that result and the performance I half expected.

That's the acceptance phase I mentioned - just a lot sooner than I expected.

He was better than Fernandinho.

agreed. Ferna is done, being kept around because of his past.

We desperatley needed a left footer to replave Sane, not sure how Torres, Bernado, Foden and Mahrez all fit into one position on right wing.

give over it was a cowardly performance . Same as Lyon, scousers and this. Have you seen our position we will be out of the title race by xmas. We never tried to win.

negative team selection and negative non existent subs

only positive is we played for a draw and got one. Bobbins.

brilliant post.

Pep should be embarrassed and ashamed of being out played by the managerial genius of OGS.

Eh? If a good side defends at home with a lot of commitment it's not going to be a walk over you know. Stick to the pasties.

There was only one team that was trying to win that game and that was City but we looked like a side who had a 35 year old in midfield. Sterling and Mahrez had bad games, and once again KDB just fell short as he does now in almost every game he plays.

We need to use Foden and Bernardo.

agree with the last sentence. Trouble is Kev is on another another level to most of our players. We’re too slow for him. Bayern Munich would be more his level.

I thought Stones, Walker and Rodri were very good. We do at least look solid. Incredibly laboured and insipid upfront though

Sly Sports posted City had twenty three touches; more than double than United and yet; the amount of shots on goal was similar at nine. Easier said than done but the forwards for want of a better phrase "refuse to pull the trigger".

Why is calling Pep out being frowned upon? Time waits for no man. He hasn't produced the goods for a year and a half now. Bobby manc was sacked and arguably scaled a higher mountain. Nothing lasts forever.

Good job foden s a city lad because if he wasn’t he’d be on his way and who could blame him.

Anyone think Sterling is worth over 300k a week right now?....

Raheem had been conditioned for thee years at least to run onto through balls and cut back balls and score many 'easy' tap-ins. Or he would receive the ball in the box in the very corner on left side, always having two options of somebody running behind opposition defence and the other centrally in the box. And then Arteta left and something happened, we dont' play like that any more and he just turned into another Mahrez on the left trying very unsuccessfully to do one on ones throughout the games.
......
Or to cut it short, we just miss Merlin (even old-Nasri would be an excellent option).
