isn't that the point though. its only really been the last two games we've been crap at the back. pretty much all season we've been great at the back. considering the way we play swell, mistakes are going to happen. you put any defence under pressure they will make mistakes. liverpool, united, chelsea, spurs defenses have all made mistakes when under pressure. if we attack and dominate teams it doesnt matter as much.
obviously we need to improve on our last 2 performances at the back and tbh id be tempted to brign back laporte and stones and give them an actual run in the team
The warning signs have been there on occasion. Stoke at home the main one I remember. We absolutely murdered them the first half, went in 3-0 up but not long into the second half from nowhere it was 3-2.
We need to try and get this title wrapped up asap and then if Stones and Laporte are supposedly our future centre back pairing start playing them.
It is palSpeculative though isn't it?
i get what you are saying mate, but i think with the way we play we are going to make mistakes and concede goals at times. i agree they are out future and for me haven't been given enough game time recently. otamendi and Kompany have been really poor recently.
Agree , a once in a lifetime chance gambled away.Completely disagree mate. If Kun, KDB & Walker had started that game we would now be Champions and on a major high - which is what we needed after Liverpool.
We are now on a serious low and two of the toughest games of the season coming up next.
Pep fucked up on Wednesday and again yesterday. Hey, he's human but on occasions he tries to be just a bit to clever for his own good and it has cost us dearly.
It is a high risk strategy the way we play and on the whole the results have been fantastic using it.
I am still feeling the pain after yesterday and last Wednesday it has been hard to stomach, so I am probably over reacting a bit.
Yesterday was crying out for a Ya Ya type player in his prime, big and powerful who could just get the ball and keep it and not be bullied or knocked off it, steady the ship. I presume close season we will try to fetch someone like this in.
I think peop having a go at each other on this thread isn’t required at all. I’m a city fan....city form a big part of my life....today do I feel dejected, do I feel let down by the result, do I feel that peps decision to play a different side was wrong....yes 100%. I feel very low today but then I think about us scraping a draw at Chesterfield and then to think where we are now to feel sad about not winning the premier league again...quite a feeling really
Come in ladies m gents we’re about to be champions again just not this weekend
