[yeah whatever !!]

If we were where the rags are aye.

Unbelievable innit fella... I sometimes wonder if they should put posters ages on the page so we know what we are up against.

Not only Liverpool have to win but they have to chase for goals.

Not really. If they win against soton it cant go to goal difference. Were 4 ahead right now. GD only comes in to play if they draw and then we have to lose last game.

 

[David Silva]

2nd last game of the season and no subs. Laughable and puts more pressure on those that play the next game. We’re allowed to critique the manager on here aye?

Subs did us more harm than good a couple of weeks ago in Madrid

 

[chesterbells]

It’s a valid point & in all fairness Mahrez’s recent pen record for us has been good.

However, what baffles me is for all our wonderful, talented players why do they all struggle at pens.

For a perfectionist that is Pep I’m sure this must drive him mad behind closed doors.

I personally would lock all our allocated pen takers in a summer camp for a month & force them to practice pens in front of a small live crowd to recreate some sort of match day atmosphere. Practice makes perfect :-)

Practice makes permanent, I’ll agree with that ;-)

 

[plattlanebenches]

Look, that was always going to be a tough game. Especially with them going for Europe and the state of our defence. It’s an important point gained and we’ll beat villa next weekend making us champions for the 4th time in 5 years. Fucking cheer up blues.

 

[Shaffer92]

That was a decent penalty shot. Goalie made a great save. Don’t like seeing a player pilloried for a genuine effort.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

So I don't see your point, why mention a player that isn't even here yet?

Just saying for next season. Its only a comment. Deary deary me.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Definitely need Dias...we genuinely look so vulnerable and lost without him...Ederson..well he rarely 'saves" anything in all honesty.. real problem for a top team. Nick Pope for me

 

[blue by birth]

Let's think about this from a logical point of view..
Would you rather be in our position 4 points in front and a better goal difference albeit having played a game more...or in the dippers position knowing they can win their last 2 games and still not win the title if we beat Villa.
I know which I would prefer.

 

[threespires]

Not sure if mentioned earlier amongst all the fanny wiping but Pep was very classy with Noble at the end of the game.

 

[Mancity1980]

That’s presuming the scouse cunts win both their games, which they might not.

We are in the driving seat, not them, which is impossible to be upset about at this very late stage.

Had we been offered a 4 point lead with one game to go to win the title at the start of the season, I’d have bitten your hand off.

I wasn’t presuming anything, I was mainly clarifying that IF they win their two games we have to beat Villa.

 

[manimanc]

I still want to see the VAR lines for Bowens first goal

He was well on twice.

 

[super_city_si]

Don’t matter mate it’s done

He was onside for both. No issues with the call, just the defending.

 

[RayCTID]

Not really. If they win against soton it cant go to goal difference. Were 4 ahead right now. GD only comes in to play if they draw and then we have to lose last game.

We are currently seven goals better

 

[Millennium]

In part, but don’t forget the defenders in front of him you are not much better!
Pep is obsessed with midfielders and I think he has stated on more than one occasion that he doesn’t coach teams to defend. You would never guess would you!

I understand your point of view, but a good goalkeeper should protect and covers some of the defenders mistakes. He is there to make critical saves and not only passing the ball.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

We can’t critique the manager?

Fill your boots mate.

 

[smallsteve]

So our keeper and defence are shit?You do realise we have the best defensive record and are struggling with injuries. Living up to your username

Ignoring your pathetic abuse, the stats are down to possession football and not the quality of the defence. It’s been going on for a long time and the injuries I’ve only just exacerbated the matter.

 

[Shaelumstash]

Because they've fucked up 3 times in the past month?

Think it was the Chelsea fans who fucked up tbf

 

[Cricket Blue]

2nd last game of the season and no subs. Laughable and puts more pressure on those that play the next game. We’re allowed to critique the manager on here aye?

Pep is baffling with the subs
Moans we need 5, gets 5 and uses 0 again!
Crying out for foden at the end.

 

[Pedestrian]

We played a European chasing team who had a weeks break whilst we have played 3 games a week for the last 2 months. And he changed it at half time and we nearly won.

it’ll never get better than Pep, so savour it

I’m more then happy with pep. I think he’s the best manager ever. Doesn’t leave him open to errors and criticism though. No subs today was stupid. Makes the villa game tougher imo.
