Grealish 1 goal in 6 games? I know, its averages, but he has not scored exactly 12 months today in the league. and the way he plays and rarely even takes a shot that is not blocked by the first defender not sure December 2025 we will be still waiting for his next PL goal or not.

He is tosh

I've seen so much recently of our players panicking and 'pointing' to where the player might be going - expecting someone else to sort things out. We were never like this in previous seasons.

We were saying this at the game earlier. Players used to know where everyone else was and where the ball was going. Now a player will get the ball and look around before passing the buck and playing the safe pass.

Worst derby i've ever seen and there were some bad ones back in the day. All City players but especially Pep should hang their heads in shame. We are relegation fodder.

Seven/eight years of winning trophies and reinventing football in this country. Four months of poor form - poor form from players who aren't fully fit. Not bad is it. We have to suck it up this season and give the team loud support after everything they've given us. Some of our fans are acting like spoilt brats. Every mistake (and we're making a weird number) is getting punished but I would never turn on my team - and I've been going since the 60s so I've seen it all. Sixteen games in and the table doesn't lie - every team is exactly where they deserve to be.

That we’ll never know but can only guess. Personally I’d have Ortega over Eddy most games he’s a better shot stopper.

Didn't Eddie make a great save from a header in the second half?

Maybe that‘s the answer: There are many injuries, Nunes has to play LB, Gvardiol (not in form) has to play, because Ake and Stones are injured or not 100% fit, Dias is okay, Walker has to play (not in form), because there is no replacement, Gündogan is playing as a 6, which is not his position, Doku was injured, de Bruyne was injured, Foden was injured, etc., what do you ecpect of them? Pep has no options to put Walker, Gündogan etc. on the bench, because we have no options. Deal with it, no team out there was the best over 30 years, no team, be thankful with the last years, what we achieved, it was not normal and not of course! They gave us so much, when we maybe had bad times, so give them something back in their bad times.

I totally agree with you. But there are fans on here label those of us who support the team no matter what as 'happy clappers'. We have some real spoilt brats in our fan base unfortunately. Yes, the page is turning on some stellar careers, and like you say, the success and style has been surreal - the team needs our support more than ever.

I despair.


OK, it's just a licckle blip. It's not a direction of travel or discernable trajectory. We don't have aged players and thanks to excellent planning, we have a plethora of back up for every position. The fact that we were good before, is cast iron proof that we will continue to be brilliant once this pesky run of bad luck is over. Being shit in the past, puts all this in perspective and therefore OK.
Spoiled people should jog on, gedding behind der lads is all that's needed.

The buck stops with the players.

Each one to a man is playing fucking awful and need to get a grip.

How long can we use the fatigue or injuries or old line? I’m happy to do it but expect an end at some point.

Pep can maybe help by trying a new formation at least.

We need to bypass midfield. The players can’t build from the back and can’t get back quick enough to stop counters but then again why should he change approach because they can’t or won’t do what’s required?

Back to the players, players, players!!!
I would like them to discuss why they think it’s ok to play this badly for so long now?

No idea going forward, no real pattern of attack, set piece awful. Not pressing properly or stopping players running through midfield. No communication.

In short, yes we have problems, you are tired, injured and old but at some point you need to shake out of this rut. We all go through bad patches.

I will be patient but it’s starting to run thin I must admit. Grow a pair and sort it out. Stop hiding behind the manager.

I agree all the players and Pep/coaches need to grow a pair and stop playing/acting like wimps. What we are seeing on the pitch is not City, sort it out that’s why your all paid very, very big bucks. Time to earn your corn and stop stinking the place out.
