He just doesn't seem to get our fan base does he? Yes he is probably a great manager but we have a fan base that needs to beat the rags and he doesn't get it. Like the season he played a weakened team against them in a cup match. I'm not going to say he isn't good but he needs to look at our history, we are not all thinking that the be all and end all is to win in Europe, yes we do want to win but beating the rags is just as important so put your best side out, after all the ones sitting on the bench that he eventually brought on, could have got us a great lead and then he could close it down, take them off and rest them for Tuesday> Just my humble opinion.

It's mad how unlucky we are in some big games. The opponent scores on every fucking shot as well. I'm pretty sure that Ox has scored two long shots in his whole career, and both has been us. We are incredibly unlucky very often. I can't remember the last time we've had some luckTiny margins make all the difference, the last two games we have been denied two stone wall penalties, against the dippers they scored a goal that was off side, we were denied a goal hat was proved to be onside.
We have had zero luck in the last 2 games, hopefully it turns in our favour on Tuesday.
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.
We didn't go into this game in the best of condition did we but at half time we were coasting and should have been 4 or 5 nil up. Utd were terrible. Even in the 2nd half they weren't good.Disappointment is an understatement. We seem to have lost our consistency and momentum for a certain period of the match.
As with other opinions on here I am concerned that we will be unable overturn the deficit on Tuesday and could struggle against an in form Spurs next weekend.
Having said that we are City and we could win both.
that just makes no sense.....it wasn't bent (as in deliberate)...they were ref errors plain and simple.....
we should only ever look at controlling what we can control and that is how we play and how (to a certain extent) the opposition play. Pep liked ahead a game too much something he has said he wasn't doing all season...he made a mistake....
Roll on VAR....Tiny margins make all the difference, the last two games we have been denied two stone wall penalties, against the dippers they scored a goal that was off side, we were denied a goal hat was proved to be onside.
We have had zero luck in the last 2 games, hopefully it turns in our favour on Tuesday.
