I am no longer angry about losing.
But I am really angry at not fighting to the end.

It’s getting worse not better.
Attack wise it’s embarrassing. Not a single goal threat in the team bar a striker who hides now and is never involved. Wingers who can’t create or score.
Our defence is even worse but Stones, Ake and AkAnji out you can excuse but midfield and attack, Rodri aside, it’s laughable that’s what we have now.
Add to a keeper that seems to have given up.

Our set pieces again a disgrace . Grealish 2 corners = hit 1st man twice and throughout the game v a team who conceded 42% of their goals from corners , ours were a joke and even the one we scored from was luck as we even messed that up.

Honestly, we look like we are playing in slow motion, I just cannot see where our next win is coming from.
Rags were poor, really poor yet they dominated that 2nd half and we couldn’t get close to them just because they have players who can run.

No idea what he does from here,probably comes out and says we played well, but we are nothing more than a mid table standard team with our aging squad now as most of our players are that level. His tactics of keeping g possession with tiny slow players is outdated and any single team with pace and energy beats us.

I genuinely hate to agree, as every bone in my body hates the criticism of THE best ever club manager, but I have to agree, Pep MUST change it, or we will have to change Pep.

Who to? God knows, but we look like low to almost relegation quality right now, and that cannot be given the players we have available, something is very wrong.

Unfortunately gonna have to take these defeats this season.

Yep, we have a bunch of players who are past their best, some who are constantly injured, others who are hopelessly out of form, and some recent signings who clearly aren't good enough. Basically we're screwed.

The solution is you stick with it through thick and thin, and the thick far outweighs the thin in this era of City. It’s a vile night tonight and that was a mess, but you can only believe we will pull through, otherwise what’s the point?

I just said the same to thing to my lad (he's 13 and has literally only known us as successful). I'm actually enjoying his pain ever so slightly! Yes, I think everyone we'll stick with the club. But it's fine to be pissed off. In fact, if you're not fucking livid right now after that i don't know what you watch football for.

That penalty he gave away was utterly idiotic, but I thought he played well until that point.

Putting him in the squad is like taking a misfiring engine and dropping a pinch of sand into the oil sump. Just enough to finish it off with a bang.

Things were bad but are now getting serious.

Every man and his dog have the measure of our slow, toothless, pointless passing style. Clubs like Brentford, Forest, Bournemouth now look like far smarter, faster, better coached outfits.

I can take it. We can’t stay top for ever. However, top is now a real fight with 3 clubs looking good bets to finish above us.

 

[CTID_89]

Not sure where we go from here. Going to be very hard to pick the players up. January can't come quick enough, just only hope they act quickly.

 

[Gumzy97]

For the ones saying Pep out, who would you genuinely get in, the manager market isn't bursting with winners

 

[burning blue soul]

I predict we will lose to Villa this weekend, and Pep will go.
The spark has left this team in quite spectacular fashion.
It's heartbreaking to see, but this is no longer a blip. It is a club wide crisis.

Can someone genuinely help me understand why Kyle Walker is our captain?
