Wonder if Pep signed an extension so he gets a big payout if he's sacked

Something is going on, more than injuries or form.
Is it as simple as Pep losing the dressing room ?
No one seems to give a shit anymore, fucking well weird

Absolutely something more going on, how do you go from potential title contenders to an absolute shower of shit that is worse than United in a matter of months?

This isn't the result of a number of injuries, its far more systemic.

We simply blew it….never in full control so needed that second goal

It was on a knife edge but we did cope with what they had on offer. Same with them lot to a degree.

Put that on this teams gravestone

At one point Walker just booted the ball up like Dunne used to do in Division 1. We have always known that we can't defend but we have always defended with the ball and nobody is making themselves accountable for giving it away.

You can also see it when Kev goes off, it's like the light goes out and then panic sets in. At 85 minutes 1-0 we should be cruising keeping the ball and putting them to sleep but we're just throwing it away.

We're pretty much back to where we were in Pep's first season where we needed to score 2-3 a game except this time we're not scoring.

You mean nearly every time Walker had the ball he hoofed it

For starters not starting an aged Gundogan and Walker (neither were that bad today, but they're not the answer)

Gundogan was horrendous. Walker was terrible. But yeah, to be honest, based on their previous performances this season they weren't that bad.

I am gone. I am dumbfounded. I am astounded.
For the very first time since I started posting about the Boys in Blue not giving in and fighting to the end I just cannot insult you all by typing it tonight.
I can’t do it because of those brilliant fans who stood/sat in the stadium today. The FANS did City proud.
Thank you fans. I am proud to be one of you although not in the stadium.
What can I say?
I will not condemn the players. You are still the best. You’ve just lost confidence and need us to stick by your side.
Keep your heads up lads. Keep trying. We’re here. (Well most of us are. :-))
We’ll always be here for you. :-)

Embarrassingly emotional thread.

That last mad 5 minutes aside we were much the better side. That 5 minutes doesn’t happen and everyone’s buzzing saying we’ve steadied the ship etc.

You can’t blame Pep for Nunes being a **** for their first. You can’t blame Pep for no one putting pressure on the ball for a good 5 seconds before Martinez puts Amad in for the second. You can’t blame Pep for Ederson (again) making a complete **** of himself by rushing out when he had no chance of getting it,

Mad, ridiculous individual errors. That’s it. Fuck all to do with Pep.

I suggest some of you log off and sleep on it you sound like 6 year old girls.

You're right about Nunes and Ederson however, we were poor for the full 95 minutes, in a match of such low quality I'm not sure "better side" counts for much.
I think the stupid errors are the real reason so many are losing it at the moment

Congratulations to the board, enjoy your net spend trophy with such great signings.

At this paste we'll also lose our Champions League money, fantastic planning !!

Negligence and arrogance.

Just fuck off

What, you want new owners?
“post of the day” so far, that is.
Maybe the decade.

 

[tweety]

Which is exactly why I can't get as emotional about football as I used to.

Phil Foden will not be sat there tonight absolutely fucked off with the world and dreading going into work tomorrow

Correct, it's best to have a no fucks given attitude to things you have no control over, that's been my view for a long time.
Our era of dominance is probably over and we have to accept that.
