***spuds vs pep's city***

[london blue 2]

i'd be chucking shit around the dressing room at h/t if i was pep
this is a fucking shambles

It's his fucking tactics mate. Time to earn that money.

We knew kola zab and f2 are a liability yet pep picked them

[Beefymcfc]

Well, that was shit.

Time for a brew.

Our players are not working as hard to be in position for a pass as they did at the start of the season. At Swansea I put it down on being focused on Celtic. I didn't watch the game midweek but it seems it wasn't. And now this.

It's fixable and it's fixable in this game.

[Moonchesteri]

Awful team selection from Pep. Time to earn your wages now.

I am always stunned by how fucking useless fernando is. seriously this guy should never ever play for City again. I'd rather give debut to 13yo than play him

Brreaks my heart but Zabs doesnt cut it in these big games anymore. hes too slow these days.

[stevefromdonny]

need to change team, sagna on zab off, navas off gung on and let see where we go

[Dub City]

So after a couple good games at start Kolorov has revert to the same useless full back that we saw for the last 5 years. Doesn't sort his feet out midweek and gifts a goal then this white today. Never going to be a good enough defender can't believe he we didn't upgrade left back in summer and it's costing us again and again.

Pep has to make a few changes. But really there's not a lot he can do, we just don't have the options.

The team selection isn't optimal, sure, but I'm pretty sure Pep didn't say to them that they didn't need to worry about movement off the ball anymore.

[bigblue]

the players deserve a bollocking by Pep at half. Wrong team to start but everyone has been miles off the pace

[bigblue]

WHY DOES NO ONE MENTION THE FOUL ON FERNANDINHO FOR THE GOAL

[phips]

for all of his meticulous attention to detail Pep has thus far shown that he has no answer for being pressed.
second half will be very telling.


Bravo has the most passes of any City player in that half. i.e: Spurs are dominating with their press and the ball has to keep going all the way back to Bravo.

I did. Twice. Or do you mean in the studio?

Borderline. However if that was us on a white shirt he's giving it all day.

But come on, basics are killing us. Bravo needs to go long to start stretching them, then earn the time on the ball instead of forcing it and getting mugged everytime.

Pep needs to haul off Zabba AND Fernando....on comes sagna and Gun and FFS..Put sterling anywhere but on the fuckign Left ffs !!!

We will get mullered if he doesn't make these changes now.

[Nige]

It's no surprise Spurs press hard and have pace. How Pep thought his Pellegrini setup and tactics would suffice is beyond me. Big second half coming up.

Fernando is slow, tactically inept and shit scared.

The less said about the two fullbacks the better.

sorry, i mean the talking heads on tv. They just say "good pressure by spurs", ignoring the obvious foul

[sheblue]

Sad to see Zabba, he looks like he's playing with a piano on his back.

[PeterParker]

What the fuck happend? I am away and follow the game on flashscore.

Are we that bad?

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Kolarov and the Otter and Zabba and Fern are seriously pissing me off. Fern 2 off Gundogan on. Get Sterling on the right somehow.

This only. Add Kolarov to that (Sorry Mase!) for Clichy and hope for the best.
