Mancini never let us get this bad.

Kdb must of had the worst pass completion in the history of football tonight. Like he was trying not to find a city shirt. Sterling is way off, rodri is crack, we’re all over the place as a team.

am going to take the pain again and watch the game again or the highlights

but from what i watched live. how can pep send out a team of 2 holding midfield and play 4 in defence ??
most of the game WBA had 10 men behind the ball and city and pep still had 4 players marking nobody on the half way line ??

like i said am going to watch the game again and see ? but its not good enough and i truly don't understand pep idea's in what he is fearing from WBA going forward ??

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pep really needs to up his game, this is getting serious...

Should have brought on Aguero at half time not with quarter of an hour to go.
Should have taken off Rodri (who was utterly ineffective) instead of Foden who offered some energy and creativity.
Should have brought on Torres for Sterling (who has been off it all season)

We look a bang average side, cos we have too many bang average players - Rodri, mendy, Cancelo...not good enough.

Said this loads of times, we just aren’t ruthless when it comes to getting players out the door and it’s costing us big time.

That has to be the quickest 50 pages ever...

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Cancelo was by far our worst of 9 poor performances. No idea what you were watching.

He was obviously asked to do a job of making up an extra midfielder when we were in possession, and in midfield I thought he did a great job of progressing the ball forward. If you are judging him as a fullback tonight and compared to what he has done before then I could see why you might be frustrated about him not getting forward and offering width. But for me he had clearly been given other responsibilities that I thought he did well.

The fear factor has gone teams were not even on the pitch and they were beaten before kick off,teams sense they can get something in games against us,throw in if we fall behind we 99/100 will not turn it around or in games like tonight grab a winner.The football is light years behind previous seasons and the picking of Rodri and gundogan in games like West Brom ( no disrespect to them ) is absolutely disgraceful..

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Didn't enjoy that at all. Not like us, looks like we have no purpose and notably no threat through the middle. This team needs life breathing into it.

Made all the worse by the commentary on Amazon, they were positively gleeful in our inability to score and it was all from the west brom point of view.

The worry though is it absolutely is like us. It’s about 18 months now. This isn’t a bad patch, it’s a total decline of the team to its new level.

 

[hardman4city]

Great for the last 5 mins. I’d suggest it’s us, not him.

Too much reliance of Kev. He needs help.

Lose your good player's sign average player's and voila !
