***Official: City v Monchengladbach Match Thread***

[Moonchesteri]

game after game, year after year I've noticed that our opponents in Europe are by far more athletic, faster and have by far better work ethic.

Why? It's been the same under three managers now

[sheblue]

We look very fragile at the back, even ota looks nervous as fuck, as for mangala he looks 30% of the player he was in September, back 4 all over the place.

If Pellers doesn't get a grip very soon he will be losing his job before the summer. Yet again we are embarrassing in defence. What has happened to us, I am massively concerned about where this team is heading....over a cliff by the looks of it.

It's our while team, defensively. We do not have a good enough defense to cope with the game we are playing recently.
There is no cohesion between midfield and defense. They don't seem to know who is supposed to be doing what.
The amount of missed tackles and being turned and half-hearted tracking afterwards I've seen recently, is embarrassing.
All teams seem to know that if you break through our midfield and fun at our defenders, they panic and gaps appear everywhere.

Optimisticly, we have looked lively at times going forward, but our passing is nowhere near as assured as theirs.
We still have the potential to turn this.

And those two pricks have spent time playing together at Porto!

[Beefymcfc]

As far as I am concerned if pelegrini neglects his defence any longer he can fucking do one. Prick

I'm happy for him to go now. All respect to him but he's never had a plan other than get everybody forward.

We're going backwards.

There is more to goalkeeping than pulling off goal line saves. It is a big flaw of Joe's that he doesn't improve other parts of his game.

If our defense wasn't complete shambles, no one would be criticizing him at all.

But we are a mess at the back and more times than not, Joe saves 1v1 chances to keep us in the game

Let's fucking face it, Kompany has a huge part in our defensive calamity too.

He played injured for Belgium and got worse and he missed almost three months now.

[nottsblue]

Time for Bony. When someone crosses it there's no fucker there

[gmercer1]

De Bryne is having a mare tonight

Yep. Was a bonehead move from someone who is touted to be smarter than the average footballer

And how would that help? He's so fucking slow he can't get into the box unless he's already standing there. we've seen it times and times so far this season and he can stay on the bench for me

Id bring on a fuckign scarecrow first, before I let that cunt on.

[bigblue]

Sterling needs to realize the overlap to Kolarov is way too predictable at this point

[Ray78]

BMG are there for the taking.

[blues2win]

Neither Otamendi nor Mangala are as bad as they look at the moment. Pellegrini simply isn't getting the best out of what he's got on a consistent basis.

[Beefymcfc]

We've just seen why we are shite when it comes to goals. They get a break and we have Otamendi & Mangala further forward than Delph. And that wasn't a corner either.

Can someone please summarise the first 55 mins for someone who's just got in. Cheers.

We scored first then they scored 2 and some cunt on this thread wants Bony to come on.
