Yeh Cancelo was much better today. Some nice darting runs. One or two really sloppy passes as well mind, but Kev, Riyad, Bernie were all equally culpable in that regard. I don’t know if additional pace is the answer (although as always, I lament the dearth of it in our squad), but we’ve got to try and find some route to goal that doesn’t involve going backwards and sideways for the whole of the remainder of the season.But that first counter should have been ruled offside.
I agree we need some signings, to frehen things up as much as anything but, yeah mate, to add more pace. Not that I think pace is a guaranteed game changer against the low blocks we keep facing.
We all know that we desperately need a proper left-back but I did think Cancelo looked a bit more like his best self today. and we need a right-winger with pace.
absolutely 100% city players just gave up after that sucker punchThe cheats changed the outcome of the result!
Here’s an alternative on that. Pep wanted Kane that’s on record. Pep thought he suited our system best. We decided not to pursue that but paid a similar amount for Grealish. Now only two years apart in age. We then purchased Akanji, Phillips and Gomez. Not to be disrespectful but hardly Pep signings. Plus hardly signings that would win the big trophies.We are poor and a derivative of our former self. Pep must take the blame for that. We have struggled this term and the worry is that we have nothing better in reserve. I'm guessing we'll struggle to win anything this year!!
2nd half yes especially when Phil went offWe were in complete control
Only 1 winner when they equalised you could see it coming a mileabsolutely 100% city players just gave up after that sucker punch
They'll call you a fanny wipe and return to putting their heads in the sandIf we don’t beat Spurs will the happy clappers finally face the reality of us just not being that good at the moment?! I hope I’m wrong but regardless Thursday is now a must win imo.
Only 1 winner when they equalised you could see it coming a it must be hard for the players to keep going in the face of such obvious cheating
He is given offside. It was the first offence.So, if Eddy or Akanji clean him out, is it a foul or is he given offside?
Agree it was appalling, season ticket holder since 1988 and that decision is up there with the worst I've ever seen.I'm going to have put my phone down and enjoy my Saturday night soon, but I'm still fuming. More fuming than I've been at a decision since Trent's handball at Anfield, and even then I'm angrier here. I can't remember a decision having that much impact on a game in my life. They know it, we know it, the press know it, the only people who don't know it are the BT Studio and Ten Hag.
We aren't in a great space, but we were getting our swagger back in that half. I'm still personally not giving up on the season, but maybe this isn't our year. But it's a fucking shocking refereeing decision that has no place at this level of the game.
