Chances missed to Kill them 1st half, Poor Refereeing, and a fatal 15 mins off “Switch Off” resulted in an embarrassing end result..
But how good was the Atmosphere in the First Half when we had them on the Ropes..How Wild was it when our Fantastic Captain set us off..? But he was forced to attempt to raise us in the 2nd half as Fans coz everyone’s arses fell out and we went quiet...
We are not gonna push the Boys over the line on Tuesday night if the moaning fools in the crowd allow the Atmosphere to drop...
Come on Blues! Find your Voices! And recognise we are now the Best City side we have ever seen...yet The Team Needs US to scream in support of them for the full 93+ mins!!!
Just saying...

People need to chill the fuck out, nobody want to lose a derby but it happens. Sure 99% of the people on here would have played our best players but the side Pep picked was more than good enough to win today. At half time nobody was complaining, at the end of the day we missed 3 gilt edged chances in the first half, we hit the woodwork twice, were denied a stone wall penalty ( and a sending off ) and the Young handball could quite easily have been given.

These things happen, we just need to move on to the next game and enjoy the ride.

I'm still trying to work out how we managed to monumentally throw that away but I keep coming to the same conclusion........ATKINSON IS A FUCKING ****

The same understrength side that bossed the first 45 and should have been 5 or 6 up at half time ?

we didnt boss the first 45 mins.....we bossed about 30 mins of it.....we should have had 5 in that time granted.....however the start of the first half was even with neither team particularly threatening

Pep Guardiola: “Did we play bad? It would be good if you try to understand, that we played good football. You have to judge the performance and the way they played not only to look at the result to make a judgement.”

I'd definitely change the rule that if it hits your hand in the penalty area it's a penalty. Who fucking doesn't love 8-6 games of football. I am not being sarcastic.

I think too many penalties were given for crosses or shots that hit defenders from close range. Then it was when arms were away from the side but that doesn’t work either but it’s better than not giving any. The only proven intentional handball you see is if a player does it on the goal line.

This is partly true.. lots of us wanted joe hart back and pep was spot on getting ederson

I was very much in that camp and thats why they pay Pep 5m a year or whatever it is and I have to pay them to watch games.

But we didn’t win it.. that’s like arguing that a pub team are world beaters cos they had a good 5 minutes. They were under strength and didn’t close the deal

Not at all. It shows there was nothing wrong with the starting line up. He should have changed it though. A wrong stating line up doesnt go in at half time 2-0 up and create enough chances to be 5 or 6 up.

This is football, it gives you great and horrible days.
