***the champions v pep's city official match thread***

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Put a fiver on 3-4. Don't let me down Pep!

PMSL.

I hope you are joking. We will not go 45 mins without conceding.

[Justified logic]

Pep needs to man up and admit he got it wrong and make subs now. Half time will be too late

He got it wrong by shipping Joe off. Been with our club longer than anyone else and showed more passion in one shout than some of these do all game

While it was going on my thoughts were that it was a huge mistake, to the point that I couldn't actually see it happens; he couldn't be that daft, could he?

An ever present and somewhat leader to the guys, why would you?

And then Bravo appears. The rest has been history.

Yup. it's not like Joe was some journeyman like Ibra or Eto, who are great players, but had no real connection to Barca. Joe was one of the most City players we had. Stepped up in our biggest games and has been through all the ups & downs. Passionate til the end.

It better be fight club in the dressing room or we're in huge trouble

Guardiola thinks he can do it with Spanish and Spanish speakers but he doesn't realise - because he's so so so fucking happy being arrogant - that PL winners have done it with a backbone of players who, if not English themselves, have been schooled in the English game (and not shipped off to Spain or Holland or Turkey on loan ffs).

What's MDM at these days can we bring him back to show these thick cunts how to organise a defence.

[FA cup winners 2006]

Cant see why Kolarov is getting singled out here. 4-5 players playing shite.

Need toure on for fernando and sterling on for navas.

Leicester will tire, we need to be on it from the start of the 2nd half

[South Stand Balti]

We are falling off a cliff. Only Silva, KDB, Fern 1 and Serge could be seen as top class. The others are decent, average or crap. We are losing because they are better than us and their manager has set them up properly. Truth is, this squad is simply not good enough to win trophies or qualify for the Champs league next season.

Are you taking the piss with the "I can't see why Kolarov is being singled out" bit? Honest question.

[Beefymcfc]

The players look disinterested they look like they do not believe they are able to do what they are being asked to do. In short it's too complicated.

They look lost. Asked to play one way, get pummelled , then asked to change shape. Until we change the majority of defence and midfield, you just can't play those tactics.

Yep. Even 4-5 would be better bet than that

Refs a cunt but we need to look a bit closer to home before we focus on that.

WE CANNOT FUCKING SCORE

76% possession, 6 shots, none on target.

[london blue 2]

Typical city is alive and well. I think I'm gonna take a break from these cunts for a few months.

[KinkyKinkladze]

I honestly think pep's ways are showing just how shit our squad is, like they're below what he expects, rather than him being tactically clueless.

Aye, he should be playing to our strengths until he can change it fully. But aguero, kev, raheem, stones and silva aside, the rest are not up to the job.

3 new defenders needed, and a couple of midfielder who can score. And a new striker. Nacho ain't got it lads. I'm sorry.

What a load of crap.

Toure as holding midfield? Are you a rag?

[dick dastardley]

No sub's wtf he must be happy with this our pep

[stevefromdonny]

glad I'm not there, I would of walked out at H/T and gone to the pub, if players cannot be arsed about playing with fire in belly then why should I stay and watch it like it is, FUCKING SHOCKING CITY

[Beefymcfc]

Is this a way of proving that his system will work, eventually.

I'd have got a few beers in the stadium myself

Rather self defeating I'm afraid.

You can laugh or cry can't you. I prefer to laugh myself. That said, the cat is not gonna be laughing later on
