Honestly don’t know where we go from here.
Several hours on I’ve progressed from furious to numb.

...because having a small squad is what Pep likes, and lets be fair it's not done too badly has it.
The main issue is Rodri. We lost the best player in the world and you're right, the club should have done everything to get a player to rotate with him this summer gone. It was a bad decision not to.
But that is a major problem when you have had the same players for over 4 seasons
Pep should know having a small squad that has been asked to play 100% at both club level and international levels that something has to give or break.
11 games on and what fucking lessons have they learned. The only people who are really suffering here is the arguably 30k real mancs who stick by our club. Remember we are here for life most last 10 years at the most and make a decent living out of us at the end of the day they are the “ takers” we are the givers money and emotional sacrifices
Hope Foden and Walker are suffering tonight …. R they fuck

Worst rag team in years and they still beat us.
I've seen us bad but never this bereft of belief.
Good job it's only football.

Hard to know what to add, to be honest.
Shades of 'Apart from the shooting, Mrs Lincoln, how did you feel about the play?'
Let us be honest, even Pep finds it difficult to know what to advise. The situation is unique in his experience.
Two poor teams (made up of wonderful players, mind), both playing very badly - I honestly can't ever remember seeing such a bad United team, by the way.
Anyway, City's confidence is on the floor, which, I suppose is a lesson in life. Even at that level, once your confidence goes (whatever line of work you're in), it's a slippery slope. Everything that was easy yesterday (well, last season) is now difficult. Everyone needs that extra touch. The angles, those little triangles, that were once everywhere, have all closed up.
We'll get out of it. But it looks like it is going to be a horrible season. The team is going to have to adapt. Thing is, it looked like we had gone full ugly-win pragmatism. Only for poor old Nunes to leave us all prey, as they say, to conflicting emotions. In his defence, an honest examination of what he actually did over the course of the 90 minutes will discover more to praise than to blame.
Been trying to think of other runs like this. And how we got out of them. Anyone remember us going to Goodison Park with Alan Harper as a sweeper?
Anyway, brace yourselves, Blues! Stand firm, Men! Sell your lives dearly! Don't give in now!
A couple of things, though. What does it mean to 'lose the dressing room'? Serious question. How far are we now from whatever that actually means?
And why not bring young O'Reilly on for a run? The crowd reaction alone would almost make it worth a try. Just saying.

Like I said I don’t expect us to win all the time but I’m bored of hearing excuses for most of this squadI amazed how many of our fans think you can be at the top of your game for over 5 seasons and not get to the point of physical and mental fatigue.
You can clearly see the players are knackered with physically and mentally. I think Pep is struggling to.

Pep Guardiola: “I don’t have a defence! I’m the manager, I have to find a solution - and I don’t find a solution! This is a big club, when you lose 8-10 games - something wrong is happening! I can say the schedule is tough, I can say injured players - but NO! I’m the boss, and I’m not good enough - it’s as simple as that! I’m not doing well, that is the truth!”
Pep tonight he doesn’t know how to fix it.
He needs to be much more pragmatic about team selection and tactics. I think that's now 25 goals conceded in the last 11 games, which is fucking embarrassing, and completely unsustainable.
We've all known we've been shit at the back for weeks but nothing changes tactically. We still play this crazy high line and leave space outside, while getting no pressure on the ball.
We are so easy to attack.
