[Stoned Rose]

Its been coming. Following the treble it was a concern who we let go and who came in. The squad’s so unbalanced today its ludicrous. Keeper situation is embarrassing. No elite Right back, no left back at all. No DM Cover. No winger who scores (or assists enough). No back up for Haaland.

Weve been playing with fire and its well and truly caught up with us and burnt us to a crisp.

And 5 13 year olds on the bench.

And people still defend him. Got to admire you really

I'll defend haaland. But he was a fucking shambles today. But imagine being ignored for 90 minutes? 3 times we had the chance to play the ball to him, where he loves it, on the half turn. 3 times we played it backwards. We're wasting a generational talent - not to get better chances, but to keep the ball in areas that can't hurt the opposition. It's the fucking weirdest thing you ever saw.

Of all teams to not show up for the 2nd half & allow them back into the game.
This team regardless of the injurys looks unfit & disorganised .
The confidence has gone & you can see it on their faces at the end of the last 2 games .
Attacking wise we are toothless,back & side passing going nowhere .
At times i do feel that Haaland & Pg are a combination that cannot work together .
He gets no service & probably doesn't do enough off the ball to please baldy .
He would be better suited at a club like R Madrid .

Pep isn’t immune some criticsm however some of these players are fucking thick. Their decision making is absurd why the fuck is Ederson still starting games

They not turned on they playing calm as pep always tells them to play!

Went to 1-1 watched Dias walker Gundo the main experience did nothing didn't tell the team to be on it close down! Instead we just let them have it play through us while Dias did nothing for the second didn't see the danger at all! One thing with stones ake they smell danger Dias doesn't

As many have mentioned this is not a surprise and we are going to have to suffer a little more until we cut out the individual errors and this means we need defenders back that are injured, this will come soon enough. Secondly we have to accept that Kev, Gundogan and Silva are an issue all playing together, this will not be resolved until Jan or if we're lucky Kovacic can mean an improvement replacing one of them. Lastly the creation of chances will come but this will be slower so first things first is to stop the mistakes.

This is not a time for panic but to realise that it's going to take until probably January before we can see much of an improvement, maybe February so we'll just have to accept that there isn't a quick fix for our problems. So what if we take a few more beatings because you can be assured that City as a club do know how to resolved the problems and and all this talk of things being over for us is just an emotional reaction to a bad few months

I'd probably say under Alan Ball.

Now that was typical 80's - 90's City.

Things can only get better, but they won’t

It just looks like eveyone is absolutely fucked. Pep included. We need fresh blood in January and pep needs to trust Oreilly and Wright with some game time. We need players in who are not mentally and physically shot.

This is part of the problem. Pep has stubbornly refused to give any minutes to Wright, Oreilly or McAtee.

In my view this blind loyalty to the senior players has meant he has overplayed them. We absolutely have academy players who could make a difference, if given the chance.

Pep cant evolve without the players....

Another manager comes in tomorrow....do you think that that would change anything in the way we perfofm or play - I dont.....we would see different tactcis potentially, different set up but the fact is simple....none of that works with players who can no longer play the physical side of the game at the top level and there in lies the problem with 3 of our key players...Gundo, KDB and Walker

I think a new manager comes in tomorrow and tactics and style of play change, that could be good or bad but continue like this is nonsense

The academy players we've let go and replaced with dogshit is frightening
Then there's not replacing Alvarez...fucking criminal
Up until today I've coped with it but that last 10 minutes was the last straw...
There's a terminal rot set in now
