West Brom (h) post-match thread

Very poor performance, only woke up in the last 5 minutes and then bang on cue, Raz misses from a yard out....seen that before.
Seriously, Cancelo is utter pap...alarm bells should have rung when Juve were so keen to deal with us.
Missed 2/3 utter sitters at the end.
There is no way we are winning the league this season if we can't bloody score.
Recruitment in the last few years has left us in this position, impotent up front with an injury prone Kun hardly playing and a talented but frustratingly erratic Gab up front.
KDB is playing well below his best.
Gundogan was our MOTM tonight, tried to take that game by the scruff of the neck 2nd half.
We need a lift in the January transfer window.
When did we last win a game with a late winner?

The only logical explanation I can think of is it’s CL or bust this year and we’re good enough defensively to make top 4 so why tire ourselves out.

Or some fucking horseshit like that.

You may be right but tbh there is no chance we win the Champions League playing like this. Any one of Bayern, PSG, Juventus or the Dippers will absolutely twat us.
 
This isn’t working.. we have been shit for getting on for a season and a half. It’s not changing no matter how much I try and kid myself it will.
 
Awful first half, improved second but missed sitters. Both full backs were wank as was Rodri, I mean why not give Rodri the hook with 15 mins to go, for another attacker?
 
It's not that we didn't beat West Brom. It's the way we didn't beat them. Pep has utterly lost the plot. 2 pivot midfielders all game. Keeping Raheem on. Keeping that prick Cancelo on. No urgency bar Kev and Gunda. Nearly every attack going through Rodri and Cancelo. Torres not getting a kick. Why did Pep get a new contract? No way should he have got one after last season and how this season started - no matter how much of a City legend he will be. We are seriously going to struggle to finish top 4. I understand the need to not go full throttle all game, every game, but to not do it at all is just unacceptable. I keep thinking Pep knows what he is doing, and it's all part of a long term masterplan. But let's face it, for the first time in his career he's lost it and should have gone at the end of last season or the end of this. I've never been one to call for the manager to be axed but we are regressing massively and alarmingly quick.

we win a couple of games and we are right near the top of the league. Ridiculous post from a wet lettuce

Fella people say this every week even the most optimistic Blue must be pretty concerned, we are not far off a season and a half on a consistent downward trajectory.

The number of very average sides we have dropped points against is getting very long indeed.

Horrendously shit. Took off Foden and left Rodri on the pitch. WTF has happened to us. KDB looks lost, and he's clearly as fed up as we all are.

Foden was as shite as anybody. Maybe not Cancelo. Too sloppy, over passing is the problem now, too laboured in the build up. Average passes for each attempt at goal is 43 according to Andy Gray. That’s excessive. No tempo is another issue. Walking pace at times.
Gabby anonymous again. Sterling bang average and missed another sitter, as did Gundo. We have pace, but don’t use it anymore. Need a shift in mentality.
 
Sick of stating the same thing with Rodri and Gundi in midfield we are a boring bunch of shit. Two holding midfielders against WBA. I thought Pep knew the game, he as changed a world beating team to a just above average one
 
Cancelo, Mendy, Ake, Rodri, KDB, Foden, Sterling, Jesus.... every one of them was absolutely fucking woeful tonight

What's happening? What's going on?

We can't go from the team that got 198 points in two seasons to that in no time at all... it's not possible

For the first time in a long time we can’t say we have one of the best squads in the world anymore. A lot of our players now wouldn’t get in our rivals side. We don’t have that star quality anymore

All down to recruitment. Replaced worldies with decidedly average, and this is the outcome. A very average side with a rebuild of monumental scale the only answer
