United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

The team is gradually improving from the 0:4 loss to Spurs status to just 1:2 loss to Man Utd. Everyone will have a hard time in life and City is not exemption. The important thing is how you deal with the difficulty. I think the fans are the worst factors for City to be back on track. But I trust Pep and the players have the steel to get back on track.
 
And also some fans. He was not bad today, playing in a position, which is not his prefered one. Yes, the penalty and was his fault, stupid, but they are fucking humans, everybody of us made some mistakes.
I get what you're saying. However I'm one of those in the camp that feel Nunes was a big fish in a little pond before he came to us. Maybe I'm wrong - but I also think Grealish had the expectancy of being a goal scorer before he came here. Now it's seems that some are content just because he doesn't often 'lose the ball'. Not good enough in my opinion. Those players came here with bigger expectations and I really don't think they've fulfilled those.
 
Here's where we're at...

If your main striker isn't scoring goals (which never used to be an issue with us). We didn't even need a striker for a long while.

Now it's...

Grealish - 85 games - 14 goals. Average of 1 goal every 6 games.
Matheus Nunes - 28 games - 3 goals. Average of 1 goal every 9 games.
jeremy Doke - 40 games - 9 goals - Average of 1 goal every 4 games.
Bernado silva - 117 games - 34 goals. Average of 1 goal every 3 games.
Savinho - 12 games - 0 goals.
Foden - 11 games this season - 0 goals.

Where the hell are the goals suddenly gonna come from if the big guy up front isn't able to bang 'em in.

It's not rocket science.
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.

I'm surprised he's scored 14 goals .. thought it was more like 4 or 5
 
Spurs in Carabao conceding two in within 20 minutes.
Sporting Lisbon, we come out for second half with 1-1, we are 3-1 down in 49th min., similar to the derby, stupid pen given away, then next attack also a goal conceded.
Brighton 1-0 lead for City, then they score two in 78th and 83rd minutes.
tottenham 4-0 win, we are already 2-0 down in 20th minute of first half.
Feyenood 3-0, we concede 3 goals in succession between 74th and 89th min
Juventus scored two within 22 minutes period while they were not much in the game until that time.
Rags score two after 85mins quickly without being any good.

mentally this is draining and part of the reason for our slump. we concede and panic takes over and the level of our players drop so much that we are almost crippled for 5/10/15 minutes where almost guaranteed something is just gonna repeat itself.

whats next? Villa scoring 2 goals within time period of 15 minutes is very much likely now.
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.

Exactly. Yet we paid 100 mil. The mind boggles.
