shot/header same thing maybe i should of said attempt on goal then we wouldn't have been pedanticIt wasn't a shot it was a header from a set piece our defenders and keeper fucked up. We had enough chances snd time to put it right but West Ham who are fighting for their lives defended magnificently. That's football.
not really mate we are second only to arsenal by one, yesterday we couldn't break down the massed ranks of their back 10, did feel a bit of a lack of urgencyAgreed and that is our problem. We are pedestrian but still create many chances. We lose the ball and Powerpuff but create many chances.
Our problem is scoring goals.
Another who needs to win every game, does this represent our fanbase or just Bluemoon forum?If we keep Pep this is going to continue indefinitely and then 2 years are suddenly become 10. Wenger also had ups and downs in those 12 years but never won the title during that. Never THE best anymore, always 'one of the best'.
All good things come to an end, we need to drop the nostalgia and move on otherwise we'll end up like post baconface United.
Forest and West Ham is two games and there's been plenty more this season, so it's not "ONE of those games" it's a "problem" and there are people being paid big money who very quickly need to solve itif we’d beaten Forest and WHU by 2 or more goals nobody would bat an eyelid. We are not that far off. Real was a total brain fart and inexcusable. Today was just one of those games.
For me it isn’t the way we play that is the issue as we have 10 years of showing that that style works.I’ve said for a long time that we should stop playing possession based football against themes like these. We had 95% possession during a period and for what good?
We have players that can hurt badly on the counter so why don’t let WHU come up a little bit and then we hit them on the break.
We’re not doing ourselves any favors when our defensive line is at the midline and the rest, including all West Ham players are in the box. It also leaves us open which we have fresh in mind from Real.
It’s boring and it doesn’t work and it’s frustrating as fuck that Pep keeps on playing this huff and puff style football. No clever runs, no creativity, nothing.
Then you know what shit is and we are not that.Yes I did watch us in those days, We won x2 League Cups in the 70's so what that has got to do with anything I'll never know...
As of now everyone is banging on how poor the Premier League is this season (which it is), We are 9 points off a team that's top in a poor league and realistically we don't look like a title winning team.
That tonight was bobbins, 75 minutes of a complete waste of time, no urgency, all slow and pedestrian football, not looking like a side that's willing to fight and give everything to fight for a title, we were shit tonight. I couldn't care less what "stats or XG" is OK show tonight, that performance was pathetic.
We were better to watch with Nico G in the team just like v Newcastle last Saturday
It won't be hard to get excited if you're at Wembley watching us beat Arsenal.It's gonna be hard to get excited about a League Cup win, should we get it ... it's a trophy, but one that's generally frowned up nowadays.
David Silva was awful in his first season and left a legend.I tend to stay away from these threads after a loss because of the MOANING cnuts that pop up, but nah...
Hey fucktards, how many NEW players have we been forced to embed into the team, this season (can include back staff, too, actually)...??
Players we'd normally see eased into the team, over 18 months?
This is TRULY a transitional team and we'll finish SECOND!
Most teams in transitional seasons finish 4th downwards.
I, already, let this season go a while back.
Give your collective heads a good f'kin wobble!!
Ungrateful tw@s...
In six years, Arteta has won one FA Cup and two Charity Shields at the club that considers itself to be England's quintessential club and London's foremost club.
Not exactly pulling up trees!
There is no way on earth he didn't give those signings his approval.For me it isn’t the way we play that is the issue as we have 10 years of showing that that style works.
The issue for me is that the management of the club have spent three seasons signing players who cannot play a possession style of football for a manager whose entire career in football has been based on the total football, Cruyff style of football.
I truly wonder what Guardiola must honestly think when he watches a team he manages with players like Haaland, Semenyo, Marmoush, Donnarumma who cannot string 2 passes together. These players go against everything he has stood for in his entire career.
It’s a very strange situation because the club has been so connected and all pulling in the same direction for so long yet now we have built a squad of players that is completely unsuitable to the manager we have in charge and the style he wants to play.
It’s depressing and I’m sure this will upset a few people but by Easter Sunday we will likely be out of every competition the way we are playing.
The toxicity and self entitlement on here, I assume from many fans who have started supporting City the last 15 years, such have never known anything but success and winning, is as breathtaking as it is depressing. Having spent almost 50 years following City and seeing the darkest of dark days and wallowing in the lower leagues, I never gave a thought to ever finishing 2nd in the PL, going back to Wembley - for the 30th time this century - or being close to playing in the CL never mind winning it. In life you win and b
Completely agree 100%,and you are right,i suspect,those,like you and I,have not experienced the dark days,and tbh..because of that,i shall NEVER,take anything for granted.I love City..have done for over 50 years,and reading some of these negative,pointless posts pisses me right off.As you said a fan supports,perhaps some here should learn what that entails.C.T.I.D.you lose. The losing makes the winning even more enjoyable and if we won every match and every trophy then it would become devalued and diluted. For those calling to sack Pep... be careful what you wish for. Look at our past not to mention the mob across town, Spuds, Chelsea,Leeds and any one of many clubs who churn through managers. Its a young team with some real talent that maybe needs a couple of more additions - Elliot Anderson / Liveramento - for it to be genuine title contenders. Our job is to support the team, not to have emotional breakdowns because we draw or god forbid lose a match. Liverpool have won 2 titles in about 30 years, Arsenal none in 20 + years and United 13 years and counting, yet some fans on here think we should win every year. In short, calm the fck down...
So TNT didn't advertise a match being shown on Amazon Prime. Well that's a shock to the system.
